You can go ahead an think that.
Me, I'm still never going to put my Mehrunes' Razor into a dagger case ever again.

I'm not too impressed with this idea. Though I think the concept is interesting and I can see myself having a bit of fun making up a house. Still waiting on that full expansion. I won't be getting the DLC till they are all together in an ultimate edition. I think it is a bit disappointing how they are just using concepts they showed at the game jam. Hopefully next year we will get that proper add on.

Because....it's their JOB to produce content? Yknow, what they get paid for?
And so far, everything they've released has been based around Gamejam. Nobody went through the gamejam content and thought "ok blatant Underworld ripoff, can't implement that. Ok undead horse thing that has no explanation sense lore-wise, no...adoption? Our marriage system was already poorly received, so no. Blatant Thief rip-off? Nah."

Instead it's ALL being implemented. FFS, a dev could've produced a Hello Kitty Convertable and I bet we would've gotten a drag-racing themed DLC under the guise of cars being a dwemer invention and Hello Kitty being a form that Meridia likes to take.
And to top it off, it feels like they're falling back on that content to foot the bill. Instead of saying "ok adoption is a no-go, let's CREATE SOMETHING NEW INSTEAD," they just implement adoption anyways. THAT'S what bothers me.
I miss DLCs where they're creating NEW ideas, not building the entire DLC around an idea they had months ago.

So no, I do NOT want to pay Bethesda when they're giving me the impression they worked really really hard one week, then took a 4 month vacation. I'm not claiming to know if they did or not or even that they actually did, but I'm saying the content we're being presented with thusfar? It does give me that impression. Important thing is I know they can do better, but they're not.

have they even got a marry-able Khajiit yet? Or are Khajiit players still without a partner unless they want to indulge into the realms of bestiality?

PC gamer here, and I don't complaint. On the contrary, I'm pretty happy ^^ :

1) Small DLC to end up with that crappy exclusivity period without having to worry about spoilers.

2) It'll make an excellent modder's resource when released.

What else do we want?

Or perhaps it's because the majority of Bethesda are likely moving on to the next project (probably Fallout 4 or whatever). It would be unfair to criticise a developer as lazy unless you've actually worked there yourself.

I think Skyrim DLC is going roughly the same way as Oblivion's DLC: first Dawnguard (like a KotN), then a series of smaller add-ons before the big one. Remember KotN was released nine months after Oblivion, and Shivering Isles one year after the main game; so, unlike most others seem to be, I'm not at all surprised by the way DLC has turned out so far. Also, let's not speculate on whether it failed to improve on this or that until it's actually been released alright?

It's not anywhere, it's three different places.
And again, I'm only assuming, but I think the "options" will just be 1 of everything (enchanting room, alchemy lab, kitchen) as opposed to actual customization.

Geez, some of you. You want some cheese to go with all that WHINE?!

1. I am overjoyed at the news that you can now adopt children. I am an unabashed RPer, and I consider it the perfect supplement to the marriage system. The latter is what it is, it has to be to accommodate so many choices of spouse. And the way I see it, if you don't want to build a house or adopt a child, just don't purchase Hearthfire. And know that I, and those like me, will.

2. I also think that the idea of building my own house is awesome. I choose the place, I choose the design. And I may not be a jarl, but I can build myself an estate that would put those of many jarls to shame. And my own personal bard to boot. I only wish, in hindsight, that my Dunmer character could sell back Proudspuire Manor (maybe for 12,500 gold, 50% of the purchase price), since Hearthfire provides a so much better option.

I want Hearthfire. If and when it becomes available fior the PS3, I will get it. So will many others. If you don't want it, don't get it.

Dawnguard made me realize that I prefer DLC that adds new areas to explore.

Guys, it was said earlier by Gstaff that this is just something then made, on a whim, and thought it was good enough to release to us. For that, I applaud them!
Of course its not gonna be free. They need to make a living.
Trust me when I say there WILL be bigger DLCs. Multiple large scale ones. Believe in them. I do.
This was a great little thing to keep us entertained whilst they work on the bigger burgers.
Again, if you dont like it, dont buy it. Dont even play the game if you dont like it. Stop spoiling it for us who are pleased with this.
Thanks Bethesda for this nice little addition, no get your asses back to work for the 2 MASSIVE expansions.
However, on behalf of PS3 users; Damn you bethesda

they are still forced to marry perverted beast-lovers.
and Wood Elves are forced to marry different races too.

I don't see why you hate the undead horse so much. He's a summon. You summon skeletons all the time. And it's not the first time we've gotten a magical horse. See: The Dark Brotherhood. Not trying to argue, I've pretty much agreed to disagree with most of your views so far, I'd just like you to explain. You've mentioned it a couple of times.

svcks for Elf and Beast races.

^this

I really don't see the problem. i have every bethesda RPG on PC but have to have skyrim on Xbox (it would kill my laptop) This mod is great for a console player (such as me) because modding is not an option on consoles.

Somehow i don't think this is really aimed at PC users, nobody is making you buy it. Plus this will probably keep me occupied until the next DLC, will be a good break from playing Minecraft.

I know they indicated that they may build at least one proper expansion but I don't remember them ever saying they would create two. Where did you read this?

I'd also like to say that even if it is 'kind' to release this DLC because it is an idea they had, it is an old idea. It's not a new concept at all. They know they'll rake in the cash for this and I feel a bit let down. Not trying to spoil it for anyone. I am an Elder Scrolls fan and just am adding my opinion.

It's their job IF they decide to produce more content. They've also other titles to worry about, including TES VI. And besides, it takes more time to create the idea than to think it. And last time I saw, they still have a nice pool of ideas in the Gamejam videos waiting to be implemented.


Never heard that the marriage system was badly received. In fact, I heard about a lot of players "married". And I repeat, I don't see ANYTHING wrong about the Gamejam ideas being implemented. What would you do with them? Throw them away only because you think they're already old? ??U

Besides, wouldn't it be fair to assume that this DLC quite obviously will not appeal to everyone? Likely only hardcoe RPers will be buying it.

I don't see the point in being dissapointed about Hearthfire. It's cheap, it adds new features, new animations, and it's assets will help in the construction of mods in a similar vein to BYOH. It might not be a content heavy DLC, but we really didn't have any good reasons to expect that Hearthfire would be a content-heavy DLC.

Hey! Me too!!
I can't wait to adopt a Orc an----OH WAIT

I can't.

I CAN BELIEVE WHAT I WANT I never read it I just made it up I need hope at this point okay wahhhh

I have no problem with this. Playing on a PC, I would prefer that the second and final Xbox exclusive be small in scale and gotten out of the way so we can move on to the bigger stuff ... stuff that I can get on day one. Nothing wrong with a house DLC, and unlike house mods this looks like it may have some new animations and whatnot.

Then it's not much different than that mod...still, nice modding resource for 5 bucks.

Oh of course, people complaining.

Honestly, I'll probably buy this before I buy Dawnguard. I was just thinking the other day while playing my Druid character how cool it would be to have houses outside of cities, in the middle of nowhere.

And to people saying how this has been done in mods and such: what about us console players?

Bethesda, you can have my money.

I want a DLC that allows me to get into a huge argument with my wife over something stupid and trivial. That's real marriage for you.
