It's going to come out eventually. They wouldn't dare making an exclusive and lose all the cash the PC and PS3 versions would generate.
Crossbows are the funnest thing in the game with the dlc. It's worth getting even if you don't play an archer just because of the satisfying feeling you get from harpooning people in the face with bolts.
This whole exclusivity thing is really, really dumb. Why isn't the DLC out for PS3 and PC as soon as the deal ends? What's stopping them from releasing it? I'm confused.
Please don't tell me these idiots didn't just wait until the period was over before they even started porting it to PC...

How is the difficulty for characters past level 50?
There's nothing I love more than announcements for upcoming announcements in the gaming industry. What's next, a teaser trailer for a teaser trailer for a game's DLC? This is becoming ridiculous, and that goes for the entire industry. All this DLC-exclusivity nonsense just makes it worse.
[QUOTE=certified;37004750]Please don't tell me these idiots didn't just wait until the period was over before they even started porting it to PC...[/QUOTE] Maybe part of the Microsoft agreement prevented them from porting it.
When it comes to PC there better be a mod that adds the HL2 crossbow.

I'm confused.[/QUOTE] Part of the 360 getting it early was more or less a beta test to flush out the bugs. The PS3 is the most glitchy of the systems and will require more attention. The PC on the other hand requires more attention for the simple fact that no two systems are the same. I own Skyrim on PC and PS3, mainly because I bought the collector's on PS3, had enough with glitches and bought it again on the PC. It's coming, they just don't know when. And chances are they want to get them both out at the same time.

Bout damn time. I've been foaming at the mouth for the chance to pick this up on PS3. Dawnguard seems fucking awesome.
This entire exclusivity bullshit is boiling my blood. It makes me want to buy anything else from microsoft less and less. At least they are going to release it EVENTUALLY.
I'm a patient man I can wait, and I hope they actually fixed bugs.
Exclusivity of any kind is just the most retarded practice ever.

[QUOTE=certified;37004750]Please don't tell me these idiots didn't just wait until the period was over before they even started porting it to PC...[/QUOTE] Considering how Gamebryo/ Creation works? The content was already PC compatible the moment they created it. Along with PS3, 360, toaster, whatever the engine is running on. There is nothing to "port" with this engine other than assets, and I'm pretty sure they'd still have their raw resources to create higher res textures from anyway.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;37007092]I'm fine with waiting a month if it gets Bethesda money with an exclusivity arrangement It's like supporting them — but for free[/QUOTE] I [I]highly[/I] doubt Bethesda is hurting for money.

There are a few bugs that have existed since Oblivion that can render the game unplayable based on how you play in one save file. There are usually a few performance issues too going by my horrible Fallout 3 experience. The console itself isn't that bad for bugs though. Developers understand it now.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;37007202]my favorite is that one bug where once you hit ~200 hours of playtime animations become ten times slower for /EVERYTHING/[/QUOTE] I liked the one where touching water caused the game to crash. Especially if you're an Argonian.

Thankfully I've never encountered it despite playing Oblivion over a course of several years because I have severe altitis.
PC gets mods, Xbox gets DLC early, PS3 gets shit tons of bugs...
[QUOTE=TheBigPal;37003969]Why isn't the DLC out for PS3 and PC as soon as the deal ends? What's stopping them from releasing it? I'm confused.[/QUOTE] Most likely? Bethesda waiting to see if Microsoft want to shell out for an extension. I mean, they've done it before.
[quote=i majored in media studies and business things]ok here deal: xbawx 420 get dlc 1 month b4 otter things then u dont do shit to make sure the $$$ dlc $$$ comes out when it is supopuppet too[/quote] shit bethesda get it together [editline]30th July 2012[/editline] on the bright side, microsoft get to deal with the community shitstorm that is "bug reporting" for a whole month. then the pc/ps3 users get a less buggy version. (HA HA HA as if bethesda are going to fix even half of the bugs)

How much do you think it will cost for PC?
[QUOTE=Liem;37007381]PC gets mods, Xbox gets DLC early, PS3 gets shit tons of bugs...[/QUOTE] We should just get it for free, not gonna happen though.
$20 since it's 1600 MS points
