Bethesda Shows Skyrim DLC Ideas

At DICE 2012 today, Bethesda creative lead Todd Howard showed off some internal ideas for Skyrim DLC and future additions to the game.

February 8, 2012

During his keynote at the DICE 2012 games industry convention in Las Vegas, Bethesda's creative director Todd Howard showed a sizzle-reel containing various ideas his team have put forward for the future of the game.

The ideas had come from a company-wide creative session at the end of last year called Game Jam. Howard had asked his team to go away and create ideas that could be added to Skyrim. He stressed that they were all "experiments" and added that he has "no idea if they will be released as DLC," adding, "maybe. we don't know".

The ideas shown included:

Spears
Kill cams for magic
Water arrows
Giant mud crabs
Paralysis runes
Seasonal foliage
Speedy water currents
Dragon mounts
Dark dungeons
Adoption of children
Advanced home building
Epic new mounts
Fast travel portals
Kinect dragon shouts
Enhanced water visuals
Ice and fire arrows
Lycanthrope perk tree
Vampire imp minions
Goblins

I'm always one for new and interesting uses of arrows. Does "water arrows" mean you can shoot them underwater? Or...what?


I also like the idea of the seasonal foliage. Of course, it'll just mean more pretty things to distract me from actually finishing the game. But I could say that about a lot of things.

Edit: OMG THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WISHED ARROWS WOULD DO TO TORCHES OR MAGIC BUT MOSTLY ARROWS

Spears: Yes with a capital ******** cams for magic: No, it's idiotic and anybody who thinks this is a good idea that needs to be added should go back to playing modern warfare.

Water arrows: Meh.

Giant mud crabs: Again Meh.

Paralysis runes: Why aren't they in the game in the first place?

Seasonal foliage: Unnecessary.

Speedy water currents: Not really sure what is meant by this but meh.

Dragon mounts: *stare*

Dark dungeons: As opposed to extremely well lit dungeons? I like them the way they are.

Adoption of children: I still want little Yasu.

Advanced home building: Meh. If I really wanted this I'd be playing the sims.

Epic new mounts: *stares at with the look of a man who thinks that WoW needs to die*

Fast travel portals: You mean like Mark and Recall?

Kinect dragon shouts: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-

Enhanced water visuals: Meh.

Ice and fire arrows: They could try fixing the magic first...

Lycanthrope perk tree: If this then vamps need one too, damn it.

Vampire imp minions: Why? No, really, why?

Goblins: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
