I know what hearthfire is going to be about ! I am pretty sure it has something to do with the fragile alliance between empire/stormcloaks(whatever your choice) and thalmor.I know this for sure because i remembered something. At the main quest when you go fetch Esbern he will tell you that on 10th of Heart Fire the great war started ! I guess another war is gonna start on 10th of September this year ! (for xbox at least)

Lol 8 months to make a barely 10 hour DLC ( not an expansion ) and we will have to wait other 8 months for another DLC?

or bethesda could release even less content full of bugs in a couple of months. and u may have spent 10 hours on the DLC but thats ur fault. i've put in 50 hours so far, DG definately feels like an expansion to me. DLC is more like the houses in oblivion that barely offered anything

Some minor Dawngaurd details were found by going through patch files in the CK. I wonder if any Hearthfire stuff is waiting in the 1.7 beta to be discovered...

If hearthfire had to come out in september bethesda would already publicize I think but I doubt they would untill finish the release of the first.... Perhaps the announcement cold come in september and we could expect for december or november?

Whoa, easy. They really need to iron out a few of Dawnguard's bugs before they move on to additional material.

They wont, skyrim itself is still particularly buggy and they are a company and companies aim to make money.

I hope they improve the combat its unlikely but it would be nice

Annual Events during Heartfire
1st of Hearthfire: The Rites of Moawita practiced by the Psijic Order
3rd of Hearthfire: Tales and Tallows - A celebration of Necromancy. Many citizens fear this day, and avoid the streets
6th of Hearthfire: Khurat is celebrated in the Wrothgarian Mountains
12th of Hearthfire: Riglametha held in Lainlyn
19th of Hearthfire: Children's Day celebrated in Betony

There are also a summoning day for Azura (Not sure, I just know it is a Daedric prince) sometime during this month I believe. For the second Holiday I was surprised to read about it because, necromancy is hated by the general population, yet they make it a holiday.

Magic based combat is what I hope they focus on improving in the next or future DLC.

I agree with this. I would also like to see some stealth related magic stuff, like stealth attacks from behind, and stuff like that.

Would that add mysticism, if they did the Psijic order? If they did how would you level it up without raising the cap?

Can they not raise the level cap?

You blasphemous heretic. What you are saying is treason, how dare you ask such a thing. Bethesda will never ever raise the level cap

I am was asking is it actually impossible for them to do that? I am not saying I want them to.

They can.

I don't think Bethesda will ever add mysticism back. My guess is if it is indeed a magic-oriented DLC that spell-combinations, more spells, and possibly spell-making might come back.

It may come out in September, considering that's our equivalent of the month of Hearthfire.

» Sun Nov 18, 2012 6:14 am

I woudl have liked them ( since I read somewhere are 100 ppl by now ) to split their teams in severalll groups and work separately on different projects of expansions like

25 on dawnguard 50 on DLC 2 and 50 on DLC 3

then Dawnguard joins the guys of DLC2 and bring to 75 while the other 50 work on DLC 3 ( wich will be the biggest expansion ) then when the DLC 2 is out all join DLC 3 ... or something like that ... just figuring out how coudl go ...

i can guarantee you that is exactly what the do, different number but yeah tats how 90% of game companies function after post launch, infarct some people began skyrim work while they were still releasing fallout dlc

Microsoft secured exclusivity for the two first DLCs which means....well you know what it means

That there are no plans on releasing it for any other platform?

you forgot that at 10th of Hearthfire the great war started against the Thalmor, and yes there will be another 30 day exclusivity and more rage threads etc....oh boy im bored already

Like Halloween? Back in the day, Halloween was feared rather than celebrated. (In certain cultures.)

Can they not raise the level cap?

There is no strict level cap until you reach something absurdly high, well above 200. If you have the pc version, level all your skills to 100, set them back to 1 and level them again, you'll be much higher than 81.

Any confirmation on whether or not this is the actual name of the next DLC, or is this simply speculation?

» Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:33 am

I posted this on another forum, so here it goes...

We've all been speculating what Hearthfire is going to be about. Some of us have suggested ideas based on the book and month of the same name, but I think I figured it out.

According to the dictionary, a hearth is the floor of a fireplace. To some, this is obvious and holds no significance, but let's look at another definition, specifically the word "ashpit".

According to the dictionary, an ashpit is the receptacle at the bottom of a fireplace, a hearth. You're probably wondering why this matters.

Malacath's realm is the Ashpit.

But Daniel, what in the hell makes you think it's going to be the Ashpit? Well, let's look at the facts...

Orsinium has been moved right up on the Hammerfell/Skyrim border. Highly convenient. There's a loading screen about the place. Bethesda has also devoted a lot of time and effort in introducing us to Orcish culture through the strongholds. Orcs have been given a huge overhaul since Oblivion. What for? The largest piece of the puzzle, however, is Malacath. Why? If you look within the game's files, you'll notice that Malacath has unusually high stats, moreso than any other Prince by a HUGE margin. Why would they give him such high stats when you don't even fight him, let alone meet him? Curious thing.

With all these things considered, I believe that Hearthfire is going to take us to Orsinium and the Ashpit. It's possible that it could involve redeeming Malacath. There's a war coming. It's time for the Orsimer to take their place within the Empire, to respark their fire from the ashes.

Mark my words...

Very interesting theory. I like it

Personally I would prefer a story involving the psijic order and a magic oriented DLC but this sounds cool too

"Heartfire is the ninth of the 12 seasons in the Elder Scrolls universe. It is considered to be a Fall (Autumn) month. (by our definition). It is homologous to September (March in the Southern Hemisphere)."

Probably will be released in September of this year.

"Annual Events during Heartfire:"

"1st of Hearthfire: The Rites of Moawita practiced by the Psijic Order." (probably in the DLC)
"3rd of Hearthfire: Tales and Tallows - A celebration of Necromancy. Many citizens fear this day, and avoid the streets." (Probably the main story of the DLC)
"6th of Hearthfire: Khurat is celebrated in the Wrothgarian Mountains." (located in High Rock,so i think will not be in the DLC)
"12th of Hearthfire: Riglametha held in Lainlyn." (Lainlyn is a village in Hammerfell,so is out of the DLC)
"19th of Hearthfire: Children's Day celebrated in Betony." (Betony is a small Isle off the Iliac Bay(...)South of Daggerfall,so is out of the DLC)
