Is Hearthfire going to be expanded upon?

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:06 pm

Anybody thought that Hearthfire may be a new DLC series for Skyrim. I think that Bethesda are going to bring out add-on's for Hearthfire. For example, maybe new building materials, new rooms, maybe a wall or fence around the house... stuff like that. What do you guys think?

No, I think that is it, no DLC for a DLC pack. The houses are finished, there is no reason to be doing anything else with them. DLC rebuilding Winterhold would be nice.

I don't think that we are going to see a new mini DLC that is a follow up on Hearthfire. They may add new family options or so as a minor addition in a new big DLC, but don't expect much

I seriously doubt they will spend time devleoping DLC that requires a different DLC, especially considering that Hearthfire didn't get as good of a reception as Dawnguard.

DLC that requires other DLC is generally a very bad idea. If they add anything to Hearthfire it would be through patches. But it's fine the way it is, so they don't really need to at all. Though I wish I could build Daedric shrines :/

Not according to popular opinion, the reception I've been seeing is much warmer.

Yo dawg, I heard you like DLCs...

I don't think that giving an expansion to a DLC (especially a minor one) is such a good idea.

They won't release a DLC requiring another DLC.

Please no. I'm not going to pay another $5 for something that should have already been in the DLC you released.

DLCs requiring other DLCs aren't possible on a technical level.

Good God, I hope not. Hearthfire was completely mediocre as it is - no need to drag it out. It's a generic house generator.

Here's hoping they're hard at work on a fleshed-out epic expansion as well-planned as Shivering Isles was.

I love Hearthfire, but I'm ready for something new now. If we get another small dlc next, I want it to be new armor and weapons. Enough to double the amount of craftable gear we currently have. That and the ability to craft clothes and robes for mages. If I had my way, it would come with Ysgrammor armor, dragon priest robes, and nord hero armor, which is refurbished ancient nord armor.

ESM dependencies upon another ESM are of course possible (Dawnguard.esm has Skyrim.esm as a master, for example), with the inclusion of ONAM records. However in terms of a plugin modifying another plugin, that's when load order becomes an issue. As consoles can't adjust this, it can rapidly lead to issues, in addition to the fact that Hearthfire is so customisable, trying to reference things that are deleted or disabled would be a bit of a nightmare.

Also, I don't think the respective marketplaces support of "only allow purchase of this DLC if DLC x is bought too", which is of course another major issue as a missing master will cause an instant crash on startup.

Probably the same reason as I... the location of Whiterun is just so nice and central. about 12+ hours journey to either side of the map.

And the Riverwood trader if you invested in him. :P

Besides, I really regard Riften now as its own self-contained dungeon. All the loot you can get from the chests all over the place, the thieves guild, the vendors in the marketplace, the Jarl's palace/quarters, the Blackbriar Mead (25g a bottle) and that nice bonus chest in the alchemy shop. The best part is that Riften is complete with 10 vendors and a fence. :P
