..Nice coincedince, it is the 2nd of Hearthfire in my game at the moment, convenient.

Now we know that Hearthfire is a housing DLC, does anyone else think it was a bad choice for a name? Hearthfire i suppose does link to the whole 'home'-y atmosphere, but im also hoping the DLC links SOMEHOW (even a little) into the month, otherwise i think the name of the DLC is slightly tacky and pointless...

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but what do you guys think?

Nope. ( Many things are listen on this word , none are allowed )

Not sure about the connections with the month, the in game month is Heart-fire not Hearth-fire.

I was about to comment on how wrong you were and i just noticed.. your right :0
If the month is heartfire, why were so many people commenting on its connection to the month before the contents of the dlc were announced if its not even the same word, was the book that was refered to so many times Hearth or heart?

Well...Hearth Fire...
A Fireplace. The Hearth.
I feel it fits.

I only noticed it the other day when it was heartfire in my game, maybe it has a connection in lore come to think of it.

I like the month names.

Hearthfire sounds like a TES homestead, which is kinda what it is.

I meant the name of the DLC, not the month.. i was concerned that the fact that it sounds too much like the month is a bad coincidence...

It is spelled either way actually.

It's Hearthfire IRL. September on earth is Hearthfire on nirn.
Coincidence? I think not!

hearthfire is the name of a conjuration skillbook, I think specifically about necromancy, that is what people were speculating about

Maybe because it is getting released in the real equivalent of Hearthfire month, september.
edit ed really should read all posts before posting myself.

Its both. Lore goes back and forth.

The books called Hearthfire because it's referencing the date on which the events of the book take place. Not because Hearthfire's tightly related to magic.

Hopefully Zenimax trademarks another Month.
