Dragonborn....Conspiracy

[Ritterkreuz]

Ok, I'm not one for conspiracy theories. In fact, I tend to despise them and usually go out of my way to show how stupid they are. I'm going to make an exception to that rule, so let's all break out the tinfoil hats and keep an eye out for black helicopters.

Microsoft had an agreement with Bethesda regarding DLC, giving them 30 days of exclusivity. We now have the contractually obligated first two DLC packages, and as per the contract both came out exclusively for the 360 for 30 days or more, then went on to be released for the PC, but, "development issues" have thus far kept us with PS3's from enjoying Dawngaurd and Hearthfire.

Now we get word of a third DLC, Dragonborn, and that this one, (which like Dawngaurd will feature new areas, new weapons, new armor) will be made available to PS3 players. Now why is it that they can get get Dragonborn to work so quickly, but not the first two?

But wait you say, those two did come out on the PC. True, they did, both the first two DLC's are available for PC's which operate on Microsoft Windows.

We can all remove our tinfoil hats now. In all likelihood a lesson was learned with Dawngaurd and thus Dragonborn may have been developed with the PS3 and the Dawngaurd issues in mind, but still, one does have to wonder....... (que dramatic music as I fade into the shadows)

Again I believe NOTHING until I see it from them, but glad to see more people are putting the pieces together *whistles and brushes the dust off the rim of her tinfoil hat*

thanks for giving us dragon born bethesda, but this does not make you great again. in fact you are far from it. you're giving us one of the DLC's which i appreciate. but there are two more that we are entitled to so it's still a long journey if you think all debts have been repaid

Not all computers run Windows, and the OS doesn't have really anything to do with the game. Microsoft is not paying off Beth to only release Skyrim add-ons for Microsoft-related content.

guys, do you even know what the problem with the dlc is ._.
It's Ram. Dawnguard ADDS a TON to the current map of skyrim - too much for the ps3 to keep track of. They said they've almost found a way to work around this, but the reason that DB is coming to ps3 is because ITS A NEW MAP and it is a lot smaller than all of skyrim, which means the RAM issue is no problem.

In a way, Dragonborn is to Skyrim what Shivering Isles was to Oblivion. Whole new map.

They most likely learned how to fix Dawnguard and Hearthfire, and so they created Dragonborn with what's required to get DLC to run on PS3 accordingly so they don't have that problem again.

That's what I'd think anyway.

I don't believe anything they say based on their "word" or speculation at this point. Let me see proof. Let me see it released then I believe it. Not one second before.

That's pretty much what I said in my last paragraph. I don't by into conspiracies much, this was just a thought that I had the other day while sitting board to death at work.

According to Bethesda's blog post the other day they haven't even been working on Dawnguard or Hearthfire for us (ps3) and as far as ANY of the DLC goes the best they had to say was "we'll let you know."
