I was just wondering were do you have to go to buy property for hearthfire is it in the hold were the land is or does a courier come up to you to tell you about home ownership or what ever?

you have to purchase it
its not given like oblivion homes

I'm pretty sure it involves you talking to a Jarl, though I could be wrong.

That's what I'd assume. Perhaps acquiring a deed from the Jarl, and being given advice/other necessities from the Steward?

Jarl or Steward.


Probably Jarl cause it's his land.
Or Stuard cause jarl's are lazy

Hmm, perhaps being the thane of said hold is essential??

To elaborate on that, I agree with another post around here, about how I really, really hope it's something you have to actually work for to get. A completely broke, fresh-off-the-wagon character shouldn't be able to be like "Hey, I just escaped Helgen and killed a few wolves. I sold their pelts, so now I can afford to buy some of your land and build a gigantic ass house."

That was, of course, an exaggeration, but I think it got my point across.

I'm all for a bit of work. Now you're making me hope for a new quest to get each deed. Don't get me guessing, man! Heh.

Hahaha, my bad. House-building has been near the top of my Most Wanted list since Skyrim came out, and the closer it gets to dropping, the more anxious I get. I'm doing my best to go in with very, very low expectations, though, to avoid disappointment if some things aren't how I ideally pictured them.

P.S. I'm not doing so well in the Low Standards department. *fingers still crossed for a midnight release*
