Skyrim Dragonborn DLC Confirmed, But Not For PS3 Owners
The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimMore DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim...but once again, not for PlayStation 3 owners.
So Bethesda has confirmed the new Dragonborn expansion for the award-winning RPG; this fresh piece of DLC will be available for Xbox 360 gamers on December 4 for the price of 1,600 Microsoft Points ($20). Unsurprisingly however, it wasn't announced for the PS3. If it makes you feel any better, it wasn't confirmed for PC, either, but we assume that's coming.
The PS3 version of the game still doesn't have any DLC; Dawnguard and Hearthfire are not available and Bethesda admits that it's their issue. They've supposedly been working with Sony to resolve the issue(s), but that seems to be taking an awfully long time...long story short- Don't expect Dragonborn to show up on the PS3 any time soon.
Whatever. At this rate, The Elder Scrolls VI will be out before any DLC arrives for Skyrim on the PS3. And Bethesda's latest, Dishonored, is just plain awesome and runs fine on Sony's console. And at least that DLC is supposed to come simultaneously to all three major platforms.

Boggles the mind. Skyrim:
1. Bigger than New Vegas,
2. More populated,
3. Dynamic & Unscripted events that runs smoother than New Vegas did...
No DLC for a game that runs smoother than New Vegas...even though New Vegas didn't even have that much going for it.
Yeah, Jawknee, I fuckin concur.

i originally bought the ps3 version, but as soon as i read what you said about potential game breaking glitches on the version of our beloved console, i took it back to wally world and switched for a 360 version.
although that one still has problems as well.
im actually thinking about getting it for my lap top, and getting rid of my 360 version.
anyways, ive yet to try any of the dlc yet, but this announced dlc and dawnguard are the only ones im really interested in. if i get the pc version, i can just mod my own home into the game, and not have to buy the hearthfire dlc all together.
and on a completely differant topic, i recently downloaded some apps on my laptop for mobile app making, because i want to pick it up as a hobby. but i know absolutely nothing about coding. can anyone reccomend a book to me for learning code ona beginners level?
it would be much appreciated.

The APRESS books are really good. Very pedagogic, informative and well written.
Search for the APRESS book "Beginning Android 4" at Amazon and you'll find a good starting point. All the books from APRESS has the same look on their covers, a sliced up metallic ball. If it is Android game programming you want to get into, there is an additional "Beginning Android Games Programming" from APRESS you probably is curious to look into as well.
I don't know what developer applications you downloaded, but I would recommend that you install Eclipse - it has become almost the de facto standard Android developer tool. The Android development kit can be downloaded within the Eclipse interface as a plugin.
One word of warning though: Most guides and books expect you to have a basic knowledge of the Java programming language. So if you are completely new to programming as a whole, you might want to look into Java first, since all Android development is derived from Java.
But if I were you I'd just dive right in with some beginners books to Android and just be prepared that the hill is a bit steep at the beginning. :)
Good luck!!!

ill make sure to check these books out on amazon, and eclipse is the software i downloaded.
im thinking im gonna check into java at first until i atleast get a basic understanding for the actions and commands and from there, ill explore the other stuff.
if i get the hang of this, your getting props on my apps. oh, and a thumbs up
EDIT : I just put the 2 books you recommended on my wish list for amazon so i wont forget the names, or lose them. thanks again buddy !

I work as a programmer myself, so I'm just honored to help a fellow budding programmer.
If you got the patience, learn basic Java first, just to learn how you structure the code. But if not, just expect to struggle a bit at first, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. Just *don't* go for anything else than beginners books. You'll learn 80% from them of what you need to know in practice anyways, so don't be tempted to skip that step.
But hey - if it indeed is Eclipse you will start working in (good choice, buddy), you should also know of the APRESS book dedicated for that; "Android apps with Eclipse" is the name of the book.
It's a great starting point to learn Android app development, since it focuses on the tool you are going to use anyways. I got the book and it's very straight forward, you get an introduction to Android before diving into apps development using Eclipse.
Again, it expect you to know the basic about Java, but is so well written that I don't think it would be too much of a hassle, you just have to understand what goes on in the source codes along the way, and you'll be fine I think.

Bethesda hasn't seen any of my money since Fallout 3 first came out on the 360. The PS3 GOTY version I bought used.

It's unfortunate, very unfortunate. Had this been just a regular game I would not care less, but Skyrim is one of the greatest games of the generation. It's a real loss.

I moved on, but Bethesda needs to get their act together. There are millions of PS3 gamers out there.
This entire fiasco has resulted in my boycotting Bethesda games. I tolerated Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but Skyrim's game ending glitch coupled with no DLC equals no future purchases for me.
Speak with the wallet, I say.
Generation's best? More like generations "shhh-brush-that-under-the-rug" game and give it high scores!

I fully agree that we should speak with our wallets. But I think it sends the wrong signal if games that *do* work on the PS3 are getting boycotted too, especially when developed by other companies under the Bethesda umbrella.

Yeah I've been thinking about it, but in a much broader spectrum.
Dragons appearing unscripted in Skyrim could be Mammoths appearing unscripted in FO4. You know?
Stuff like smithing & upgrades also played a big part in Skyrim which FO only had by buying and finding mods, you know?
It just, bugs me...eh? Yeah? See what I did there ? Yeahh-hahahahah!
Seriously though. Bugs in FO3, FO: New Vegas. Both minuscule in comparison of scale, to Skyrim. So I ask...What In THe F..>!?

I just hope that with the new pS4, that Bethesda gives us Sony fanboys the same treatment that xbox fanboys get with their games. If they cant, then Sony should not allow any of their games on their console again.
End of Line.

They had the cheek to answer "the game as big as Skyrim will have these problems for its size etc" obviously, the quote isn't exact. It was a while back.
Still. Coming back to the excuse of the game size. ARE YOU SERIOUS!? This is the best Bethesda comes back with?
How about planning, design decisions, memory discussions to accomodate the crucial parts of a game that - oh yeah, isn't supposed to have FUCKIN BUGS! - so that it can actually be played.
From what I'm playing right now, on PS3, I have yet to encounter a real glitch. Apart from stupidities happening with frame rates that is.
Can you imagine CD Project Red making such claims? Square Enix? Get the finger out, Bethesda...supposed to be a professional, damn it.
