Lmfaoooo season pass, it was only a matter of time before they hopped on it as well
Bethesda doesn't exactly have a good track record with DLC for their Oblivion/Fallout titles.
Operation Anchorage and Broken Steel were the only good Fallout 3 expansions and Skyrim's expansions were laughable, really.
If this were Obsidian (and god knows I wish it was) doing Fallout 4, I would force feed them my money. But, I'm going to wait on this and hope to see these DLC expansions to be...you know, good.

I think you are out to lunch, They do DLC better than almost any other developer.

Jim sterling has felt a disturbance in the force...
That said, Fallout DLC is some of the best DLC I've played, so I'm not too angry. But yeah, asking people to buy in for stuff they've not even started working on is kinda bullshit

agree.
People looking to be upset. We know they are going to have expansions, so why is a season pass a bad thing?
Especially if they are promising it includes EVERY DLC THEY WILL MAKE. Assuming they keep that promise, that's a lot better than other Season Passes where you only get SOME of the expansions.

I mean, it's saving you 10 dollars if you know you're gonna buy them all anyway.
Jesus christ. I cannot believe we as consumers have allowed this to happen or continue to support this bullshit.
It's bad because you are giving money away for you don't know even know what. No description. It doesn't matter if you are going to buy it anyways, at least if you buy it when it comes out you know what you are buying.

As long as they're all like Point Lookout and Dawnguard, I'm game.
I was referring to the actual quality of their expansions! I have no qualms with buying DLC, but the expansions for those games that I listed...weren't really worth the purcase. Especially in comparison to New Vegas (a game in which all of the DLC ranged from good to fantastic.)
What is inherently wrong with Season Passes?
Do you not think that developers have expansion/post-launch content always in pre-production? Do you not think they as a dev/publisher don't plan this out?
Do you believe that Fallout 4 as a base game will not be worth the purchase BECAUSE they announced this? Do you have any evidence supporting that Bethesda could possibly launch an 'unfinished' game? (But, then again, what defines an 'unfinished' game?)
Eh..what? How exactly were Skyrim's expansions laughable can you please elaborate? I can understand that Hearthfire wasn't really that good but Dawnguard and especially Dragonborn were some of the best DLC in any game. And the only good Obsidian dlc was Old World Blues the rest were mediocre at best.
This is a silly response. They've been offering season pass content (standard 4 extra expansions) since Fallout 3, just without the name. Plus the content has been worthwhile, so I don't see the problem.
As usual, since they've always done one.
They've taken feedback before (Broken Steel changing the ending), and come up with DLC after the fact (apparent especially with fallout 3), so not defining content prior to release isn't new either. And if the content is comparable to the pat, $30 is cheaper. The original packs were like $10-15 a piece.
Standard Bethesda practice; just with outrage now that they're selling it before launch and calling it a season pass.

Definitely waiting on that
Wait. People complain when they are already working on DLC before the game is finished ("JUST INCLUDE IT IN THE GAME!!!"). Now we are complaining that they haven't started on the DLC yet?
I don't get it.

People are really gonna pay $30 for promises? This is sucha ridiculous statement. I thought it was a joke.
Yes exactly. They should be ashamed of themselves. I cant recall another product other than dlcs of video games. "We dont know what we we are selling but it is 30 usd".
And the sad thing is they will probably sell it a lot.

LOL!
Exactly how I view it.
People don't like being asked to pre-order a mystery box.
Have you played a Souls game? So good. I wish more devs aspired to create DLC like that.
So this could be worth anything from $0 to around the cost they're charging for it.
Tell me again why this is a deal for the consumer?
How narrow must your experience be with DLC and expansion content in games? They were no horse armor, but even Morrowind had better expansions and it also had free add-ons!!!
This.
I'm not "people"; I'm an individual. At least try using a real argument while defending stuff like this.
If you don't think paying for a product that not even those who will make it know what is isn't ridiculous, be my guest and continue supporting this crap. It'll come back and bite you in the ass sooner or later, though.

They've pretty much had the same post-release content plans since oblivion. It's not like you don't know what you're getting.
You're right, you don't get it. We aren't complaining that they haven't started making DLC, that's totally great.
We are complaining because they are selling DLC which they haven't even started or THOUGHT about.

because you dont have to buy it right away.
is it available post launch? wait to see what directions they are going with it.
pretty messed up in one way, but as long as its available after launch nbd, just wait on it.
Dawnguard's Volkhiar/Dawnguard mainline quest was boring regardless of what faction you joined. The new areas didn't really stand out to me.
I think Dragonborn is decent at best.
"Shame on you for not using your money in a way /I/ use my money."
Has there ever been evidence shown that Bethesda, or any developer for that matter made a Season Pass for a game without knowing what will be in the content pack beforehand? You don't think the 'we don't know what it'll be' comment is just (poorly worded) PR fodder to prevent spoiling the stories/details of content that's likely in pre-production?

More than likely, $30 will be a great deal for whatever Bethesda puts out but obviously it's more comforting to consumers when you actually have a clear content plan. Can't imagine someone actually went ahead and wrote that in the press release.
