Is repetitive buying of Bethesda games a new kind of litmus test for stupidity? I mean they do this shit constantly and people are still surprised when it happens. Did people really forget horse armor they tried to sell? Or forget about items that were free in Fallout 4, but had to be purchased in 76? It's Bethesda and only one thing Todd dreams about is scamming another dollar from their fans.

Used to be that they'd sell you both worthless DLC and actually good DLC.

Knights of the Nine?* Awesome. Horse Armor? Worthless.

Similarly, Skyrim had Dawnguard and Dragonborn which were great. It also had Hearthfire which was kinda meh, but at least it had stuff to do and was cheap, so I'm not too mad about it.

*There was also Shivering Isles, but at the time that was marketed as an expansion pack, not merely a DLC.

~~Pretty sure shivering isles was Morrowind and horse armor/ nights I'm the nine was oblivion. Those would have come out years apart.~~

I don't know what I'm talking about this early

Thats not accurate at all. Shivering isles is oblivion and one of the best parts of the game.

I just buy Bethesda games years after release and have a blast playing them.

If you find that worth it, then sure. Although that won't be the case soon it seems as Todd has a hardon for live services.
