So far I have only gone for the full Skyrim pack for Bronwyn. Civilisation V : Brave New World is tempting me but I will hold on and see if it goes beyond 50% discount. Still playing out the Gods & Kings pack at the moment.
As I said last year (and probably the year before) : if you have to have something on release day then don't come complaining a week or two later when it is discounted in the sale. Patience is a virtue.
With Skyrim the fullpack you won't have much time for Brave new World
. I am tempted to get the Civ addon though.
For most sale stuff i will be waiting for the Christmas one instead really. As might have some better deals.

Unlikely, unfortunately, and the discounts generally don't reach the levels they did five or six years ago - although, of course, 40% to 60% is nothing to be sneezed at!
As someone who grew up on classic PC RPGs, I found Skyrim to be a little disappointing overall as I did Oblivion, too. I suspect the future lies in the likes of Project Eternity which is more of a traditional PC RPG and a bit of a return to roots.
As far as TS goes, plenty on my wishlist that's now 40% off but I'm not missing the content so I shall bide my time.
For those regretting they feel stung over items now being on sale, it's swings and roundabouts. I am sure we've all been there and not just with DLC for TS. Out of the 320 or so games I own on Steam, I would imagine I've paid full price for only a relative handful and they'll be the ones where a day one purchase was necessary in my eyes. Plenty of ways to get discounts these days, not least the Humble Bundle and its like.
