I wish more developers were like Bethesda

DLC IS the worst thing. All it offers is something that the mod community could have easily made for a charge. Skins, New levels, few new weapons, are not worth any money. I mean take a look at Neverwinter Nights. THere's a community expansion for free that is 3.5 gigs of stuff on it. I kid you not, 3.5 gigs.

If you want more content make an expansion, and not one a commmunity can make. Diablo II's Lord of Destruction is still the best expansion out there when it comes to value.

Have you played any of Fallout 3's DLC?  Hopefully, since it is kind of the point of this thread.  EAch one of them is an expansion and for 10 bucks a piece they are well worth it.  Bethesda does DLC better than anybody.  I would gladly pay the 10 bucks for one of Bethesda's huge DLC's than download a crappy community made garbage.  You aren't going to find a mothership theta quality community made content. 

I'm not saying that mods aren't awesome, because they are.  However, when you make DLC as awesome as Bethesda does and charge a respectable price (10 bucks) you can't complain.  I agree that most DLC sucks which is the point of this thread.  Why can't other developers be more like Bethesda when it comes to DLC?

Combine the 3 expansions and that'd 30 bucks. That's a full blown expansion (in fact LoD cost 20) and yet they did NOT feel like a true expnsion at all. To explain, NWN's expansion took between 20-40 hours to finish, and those rapp mod modules were near top notch quality, for free. Don't even get me started on UT2004's mods. Alien Swar is a whole new game, again for free. Even WC3 has some, in fact DOTA is so popular they are expanding it into a game in and of itself. Again, for free. DLC is a shitty excuse to get more money. Give me a real expansion or GTFO.
