Skyrim-Redguard DLC? Options

[Darkness Eternal]

Back in February rumors were on the rise claiming the next DLC might be called Redguard. Here is the info:

In December, Skyrim players were introduced to the most recent DLC offering, Dragonborn, and now Bethesda may be planning another game-play addition.

Last month, Bethesda’s parent ZeniMax Media Inc. filed to trademark the term Redguard, according to Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine. While there has been no official confirmation that new Skyrim DLC is in development, the trademark ownership applies to “downloadable computer game software offered via the Internet and wireless devices.”

Some may object that this is merely a move to mark territory and prevent other companies from using an Elder Scrolls staple term, but ZeniMax has been known to file for trademarks specifically relating to new DLC releases.

Long before Dawnguard, the first Skyrim DLC, made its debut, ZeniMax claimed legal ownership of the term. This is a pattern that has persisted with Hearthfire and Dragonborn as well, and each filing came with the same “downloadable computer software game” description.

Pete Hines, Bethesda’s vice president of marketing and public relations, refused to comment on the matter. Hines has come to be known as an intermediary between Bethesda and Skyrim players when it comes to DLC launches, and he has actively responded to fan queries via Twitter in the past. This time, however, he had no information to share on a potential Redguard expansion.

“Sorry, I don’t comment on every rumor that comes up,” Hines tweeted Jan. 3.

If this rumor turns out to be true and Redguard is in fact the next Skyrim DLC, players could be returning to the province of Hammerfell. Redguards are known as the most naturally talented warriors in all of Tamriel, descended from a long line of warriors and mystic seers.

According to The Elder Scrolls Wiki, Redguards are more proficient with the use of weaponry than any other race. Of course, it’s too soon to know what a Redguard DLC would entail, but, based on what is known about the race, players could expect a heavy emphasis on combat. Players have dealt with battling blood-thirsty vampires and the first Dragonborn, but the Redguards are legendary experts when it comes to battle.

Now, it would seem there is some measure of truth to this rumor. But I think it may be fake. Check this out:

Yeah, there's always that hope...

But like I read in an interview with Pete Hines yesterday, some of these people have been working on Skyrim for five years now, and really really want to work on something else now please... ...

They do have to say, enough! at some point...

Although, I kinda expected at least one more DLC meself...

Maybe after the rows about the others they just said "Stuff it"...

Say, how long did they work on oblivion? 5 or 6 years right? They came out with plenty of DLC's and plug-ins for oblivion, so I don't see why they'd just abandon skyrim
