SKYRIM DLC To Include Dragon Riding?

There€™s something of a gaming renaissance happening right now. We€™re all aware of the near time/space fracturing commercial success of Modern Warfare 3, as reported on WhatCulture! (I mean it outsold the opening weekends of all eight Harry Potter movie combined, taking upwards of £80mil€), but it€™s not only a great time for the FPS; the R.P.G also gets a bold new defender in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Well, it€™s been a long weekend of sword swinging, shield bashing, pocket-picking and spell-slinging and I bet we can all say we€™re pretty much hooked. And despite the fact that I€™ll probably still be playing the main game on my death bed, I€™m already starting to muse over the inevitable Downloadable Content, gaming addict as I am. Todd Howard, Director and Producer of Skyrim has revealed that DLC for his beyond-epic RPG is already in the making but promises to subscribe to a €˜less-is-more€™ ethos when delivering this extra content. Bethesda were of course one of the first major players in the DLC game (back with 2006€™s Elder Scrolls IV), and sparked unrest among fans by trying to charge $3 for a crappy piece of horse armour. Hopefully, they€™ve learned a valuable DLC lesson with Oblivion and all evidence points toward more substantial, story defining add-ons for Skyrim. Howard said €œ€œWe€™re not going to be doing a lot of it. Our high-level thinking is that there€™ll be not as many , but they€™ll be bigger and more substantial. The goal overall is not necessarily to put out more content, but to make the game better.€ There€™s no indication exactly what this DLC will contain as yet; full faction storylines and a higher level cap are a given but when pressed about the possibility of altered game mechanics Howard said: €œWe could. We don€™t want to leave anything off the table.€ Is it just me, or is there a vague hint of Dragon Riding implied in that? Check back on WhatCulture! for announcements and news on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and all of it€™s upcoming DLC.
