I guess there's more customization than meets the eye, as it seems you've built a gigantic whine cellar and stocked it with employees.

There's quite a few deposits around tamriel now with clay and such. How would the child grow up anyway? Most people never play longer than 1 in game year, going from 4 E 201 to 4 E 202, then finish everything or get bored and make another character before ever getting to 4 E 203. That would just never work.

I've noticed one flaw with many things that Bethesda does. They come up with a great concept and in their attempt to make it great... they mess it up. I was told I would get to build and customize my own home with up to three wings. I wanted a library, armoury, and trophy room, but for some reason they decided that I can only build specific wings on certain sides. If I were building a home in reality I'm pretty sure I could put a library on any side of the house and not just the East wing. So now I'm stuck with an armoury, trophy room, and an empty wing because I don't want any of the rooms that serve me no purpose on the side of my house. So I ask why they would make such an ignorant decision. I have sided with Bethesda for nearly every argument that has been taken up against them, but when you raise peoples expectations like they always do (with your trailers and misleading information) and make it sound 10 times better than it is how can you sit there and wonder why people are angry and disappointed.

Also If your going to make a DLC that allows people to display all of their treasures and trophies all over their house... FIX THE F****** GLITCH THAT MAKES ALL MY S*** DISAPPEAR AND MOVE WHEN I PUT IT DOWN! Thanks to this glitch my wooden mask is now gone forever because I have it on Xbox and it decided to poof out of existence instead of staying in my display case. Not to mention that any time taken to make a nice looking display of items is wasted because the next time the cell loads 95% of everything you put down is now all over the floor.

If decorating a home wasn't already hard enough, one of the updates you uploaded actually made it worse and even harder to work with objects. Now all they do is flip upside down and knock everything near them over when you pick them up. Potions are a good example of how much worse this has become. They are now nearly impossible to work with.

You said Skyrim was supposed to improve upon what you did in Oblivion, but in my honest opinion every single decision you made in relation to home ownership has ruined what was one of the most immersive aspects of your game. Go back and take a page from what you did in Oblivion because you had it bang on in that game and you *insert word that properly describes how Beth killed home ownership in Skyrim here* messed it up here. I spent hours placing objects, weapons, and decorations in Skingrads house in Oblivion. Now I don't even waste my time because not only is it just too hard to manipulate objects (specifically because anything you pick up automatically snaps to a poorly chosen spot on the object and not where you grab it like in Oblivion) but I now have to worry about if the item will be where I left it when I come back or, in the case of my wooden mask, if it will even still exist. (The mask disappearing really pissed me off if anybody didn't catch that lol)

I do still enjoy your game in all of its (somewhat, but understandably buggy) glory, but I really don't think that any of these things here are too much to ask for and honestly should have been included out of common sense. I'm sure that everyone working on this game is a fan and knows what they want, which presumably is what I want, in an imaginary fantasy home, but I just didn't see that here. You can't look me in the eye and honestly say that you are satisfied, as a developer, with how the homes in Skyrim are currently working.

Anyways this has been my critique of the new Hearthfire DLC. Overall it's not bad (considering how the vanilla homes already are... which is i'm sorry to say bad) and you had an amazing concept that I'm positive had everybody on the Xbox version jumping with joy since I really never expected anything like this to come on to a console version. But, the overall execution and some poor decision making really took away from what this could have and should have been, which is a great DLC.

I'd also like everyone to know that this was a critique of Bethesdas work and decisions. I apologize if anything came off as rude, but that is just how I felt about it and didn't know another way to properly voice my opinion on the matter.

Like houses, they each have one plot of land available for purchase, take it or leave it.

Can you un-adopt a child and adopt more than one? What is the max. amount of children you are able to own at one time?

No 2

I probably won't make another Character in Skyrim.. since it takes so damn long to do everything right. I don't like rushing through quests and stuff, so, I'm possibly on a good way to proof your statement as wrong. (493 days ingame so far, I'm lv. 61 and I'm not done with the mainstory and didn't even start with Dawnguard)
