Skyrim - "DLC will feel more like expansion packs"

Todd Howard has re-stated Skyrim DLC will be more like expansion packs in an interview with Kotaku that also revealed regular smaller updates in between the larger DLC packs. A couple of snips:

"For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs," Howard told me during an interview last week at the DICE Summit. "That was a very aggressive path for us. Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They'll feel closer to an expansion pack." [...]

"With Fallout 3, it was, 'Ten dollars is the sweet spot for us and we know we want to put out five of them. And we had overlapping teams. We were coming off Fallout 3 and right back in." He describes that development cycle as "a real hardcore loop," but adds, "we just think we can do better content if we approach it a different way."

In between those expansions, Howard is committed to releasing smaller pieces of content for the game.

"Because that gap is going to be bigger, we want to put litle things out for free in between. We've already done that for PC with the high-res pack. We're trying to figure out what those things are."

Thanks, Thrasher!
