User blog comment:Timeoin/Is 'Redguard' the next Skyrim DLC?/@comment-5436695-20131008230935

There may have been some plans concerning Hammerfell-related DLC, but even if it's so, they'll surely prefer to make a stand-alone game using slightly modified engine of Skyrim like it was in the case of F3 and FNV. There are at least four reasons for this:

1) Hammerfell is simply too vast for featuring it in any sort of DLC.

2) Stand-alone game renders much more profit tnan DLC.

3) Bethesda already has a good experience of cooperating with Obsidian on FNV. In my opinion Bethesda guys are the best videogame programmers while Obsidian fellows are the best plot writers. Doing some job together they achieve highest possible results.

4) Suddenly throwing some new unexpected but wishful commodity (the word "suddenly" in this case means "after a week of intense advertizing") onto a market, even if its novelty is very relative, usually means further boost of profits.

That's why there is no point of making it DLC. Didn't want to disappoint people eagering to see further adventures of 215+ level Dovahkiin-slaughtering-giants-with-two-spits-if-sighted-those-bipedal-bearded-skeevers-during-1500-ft-flight though. May be mistaking. I was writing it from economic point of view, so there could be some artistic reasons of making couple more DLCs. Yet they told themselves that there would be no more DLCs. Still, the ending of Dragonborn was obviously cut. [Scratching noddle] Perhaps it's some sort of NSA plot against RPG industry? However, NSA could be affected by the shutdown cause-effect relations so cause-effect.
