A while back I was looking at some mods for the PC about a house someone had made, and I thought - I want one like that! (I am an Xbox player)
I'll make a medium house in Whiterun I guess, but I hope for a lot more themes to the houses.

If possible, I'll make myself a small hunter's shack in the forests of Riften. It's the prettiest place in Skyrim, so I want to live there.

You can't.

You don't know that.
that description could just be advertising that you can have a home in the places you couldn't in Vanilla.

There's a nice place on a hill between Whiterun Hold, The Reach and Falkreath Hold. It's East from Fort Sungard and South from Gjukar's Monument.
Whiterun or Riften. I can't choose it yet.
It will be large, like a manor or keep. It will not be only a home for me.
No I won't. But I'm looking forward to build my own faction and personal army. (If that's not possible with the DLC I'll mod it in there.)

There are three holds where you can build.
Riften isn't one of them.

Read my edit.

I feel kind of stupid now for buying all the houses in the game, trying to find a median where I am happy with them. Now I can design my own. Say goodbye to all that gold. Quick question does anyone else know the names and prices of the different house base models.

I will adopt a bunch of redguard children and build a farm to put all these child laborers to work.

By any chance is this farm growing a plant that you use for making clothing?

Then what's the point of it then? If I wanted a set house at a set place, I'd mod it in.

I'm kinda hoping for the option to include some sort of banner inside or outside reflecting allegiances.

My only major want, that I probably wont get.

Beyond that, it'd be nice for multiple types of architectures but what will be will be. Long as it is interesting, I can find a way to work with it.

I guess. If you want to make clothes out of pot.

Just a small cabin out in the mountains or woods. I don't know what limitations there will be so I can't say for sure what I will do.

Here's mine

Falkreath
Riften Style(if included)
Trophy room
alter to Hircine(hopefully since the nine divines are included)
no children

Depends which char. I'm RP'ing. With Hearthfire, I think I'm going to go back to my strictly "living in Skyrim and not really a hero" hunter/trader who lives in a tiny shack with very few amenities. My alchemist char. would obviously have the greenhouse and alchemy lab. and my Treasure Hunter would have as many display cases, etc. as possible and the trophy room. So my house will vary greatly depending on which of my chars. I'm playing at the time. As for adoption, I'll have to see if it fits right with my roleplaying, then grow the home accordingly. I don't know how much real added "game" value this will bring to the table, but for me, now I just roleplay a lot more and not worry so much about quests and I feel Hearthfire is adding more RP value for Skyrim. Just my opinion. I'd even pay smaller amounts for other DLC if they added things like a small tent I could pitch in the wilderness along with a campfire or added treehouses and even the ability for me to setup a shop in one of the marketplaces, hire a shopkeeper and keep the shop stocked up by hunting, crafting etc.

I know that's all free with mods but as an Xbox user, this is what's available to me right now. It's still cheaper and easier than getting a new PC and putting in the time to download and install mods. That being said, I will be doing that anyway, but not until the GOTY version comes out for PC. As it stands, Bethesda is not the only company to make money off of DLC on Xbox live and they won't be the last. I'm happy to pay for it if it means they will continue making Skyrim content and continue with the Elder Scrolls series. Those devs need to be paid as well and the team has certainly grown. In the end, the game continues to be a lot of fun for me to play.

EDIT: I suppose my hunter would also build a trophy room

WHAT IF WE CAN HAVE A MOLAG BAL ALTER?! I must have a fountain of blood in my house!

source?

and what are the three holds you can build in?

It has been even confirmed you'll be able to choose architectures? If so:

1. Probably two farms at Hjaalmarch and in the Pale, close to my Dawnstar's house. I've no interest in Falkreath.

2. Whiterrun architecture, probably (it's the most fitting for a farm).

3. As close to Dawnstar as possible.

4. Simple, storage rooms and little else.

5. No. I'll wait to be able to have kids on my own.

6. 3, 4 or more

If I can Morthol because overall as a hold it svcks and ill just build all my stuff there. Is love to be my own blacksmith at my own house. If i can adopt redguard kids cool. But I have other characters. If I can choose a style it would probably be Solitude styles.

Can I name my house?

Can I make a TARDIS????

Have them pick Tundra Cotton!

(Did I just cross a line somewhere?)


I seriously hope, that your options aren't limited to a single plot of land i either Hjaalmarch, The Pale or Falkreath Hold... That
would sooooo disappointing...

Another thing I want to know is if we will be able to name our home or if it'll just be "Dovahkiin's House" or something generic on the minimap.

Be nice if you could name your settlement/house like the rest in the game or like they used to do it.
