So I was thinking: Not all Dovahkiins are the same. Why force us to simply build a house and make a happy family? My vampire thief mage would gone mad living like that an hour.

Why not a cave instead of a house? You can sit on your dark throne, surrounding by your ill-gotten golds, corpses and skeletons while enjoying the songs of your exploits sung to you by your bard; all while your torturing subjects are screaming their hearts out?

About torturing... Instead of adopting a bunch of kids, let us instead kidnap a bunch of people. We can grill them for treasure, throw them into a maze and chase the around, or some thing else I will get back in a bit...

Instead of enemy trophies let us kidnap enemies and let them duke it out in an arena. Or subduing a dragon and chain him on top of my "alchemy tower" and make him breath fire every time someone ring the doorbell.

Room furnishing is so old... Take it further by having decapitated heads dunked in a pool of blood (Dawnguard style) in the middle of the house, other assortment of corpses as decorations

Instead of growing cabbages and harvesting fish while we can "grow" Draugs by using those kidnapped persons I mention earlier (like in Heroes 3 might and magic graveyard) and unleash them onto the world every once in a while.

Skeever and giants? Why not an army of Dawnguards besieging your castle while you throw your bears, wolves, zombies, carnivorous plants, fireballs, etc... at them?


Do that, triple the DLC price and I'll be a happy camper. And I don't play Skyrim on the PC so mods wouldn't do me much good.

Cheerios!

I think they're just trying to give Dovahkiin a "Normal" lifestyle.

Hmm, maybe this DLC is not for you then.


Perhaps they'll release something based for evil and bad type characters like the Vile Lair from Oblivion.

But...WHY?

My character isn't a happy mother of four! She's a sneaking murdering mind-influencing invisible vampire psychopath! She doesn't deserve the happy family treatment while she cannot express her own character and decorating her own damn home however she damn like!

Nobody is forcing you to put a family in the house

who in the world is that sick

Apparently the guy with the avatar of Johnny Knoxville getting his nipble pinched. Lol

It's unlikely that they will release something else similar and this substantial. I would rather prefer to have a choice: A happy family or a menacing lair.

Doesn't matter to me what vampires say they gonna do

smoked em all with my fire sword

Oh come on are you serious? Doesn't that paragraph even A LITTLE BIT excites you?

Besides it's not like I'm the only guy who goes around casting routs on bears and lure them into towns,, or rob people, strip them naked and slit their throats. Most of you here have already turn vampire lords and went to town on villages.

It's my game, and I would love to have moar choices.

"What is life's greatest illusion?"
"Innocence, my brother!"

You guys gotta try thief mage no-cost illusion conjuration. It rocks

Knowing Beth I'd be suprised if that undead cook from the gamejam vid didn't find it's way into the game, along with a few other things not sanitary enough to be near my food.

My house will be evil, it's not the structure but what you do with it. I'm looking forward to my den of depravity.

maybe there is more to this dlc

I have baskets after baskets of skulls and human flesh and daedra hearts (also all the skooma I can find ) in Solitude, waiting to be moved. Apparently all the corpses disappear after a while, so that's a bummer.
And man... them bloodstains. Nothing says vampire more than fresh blood stains. To bad you can't decorate your wall with bloodstains...

...

You've got some bizzare fantasies kiddo

Yeah, I'm bringing lots of goodies.

Hell for all we know there are some nasty things we can craft too.

I usually take "role-playing" a bit too far

I don't care I already live in the - Evil Lair of Hydra.

I would like something similar...but more kid friendly

Not all DLC is for all people. I have Dawnguard and I honestly can't make up my mind if I want to be DG or Vampire. xD I don't want the sun to go away, and I don't want to look weird!

As for Hearthfire, I play more of a normal character (even though he can control the Thu'um). So that will work for me.

I get what you're saying though. Just make a separate character that doesn't even fight their first dragon. As long as you have no intention of joining the stormcloaks or the imperial legion, you won't even have to see a dragon after your first confrontation with Alduin.

I feel like hearthfire is such a watered down version of what it could be... its sad really, I felt as though Bethesda had lost sight of the elder scrolls feel with oblivion, since it was such a cliche dumbed down renissuance version of morrowind... (just my opinion [oblivion was a great game but that's not the point here ]) anyway I feel as though the true gritty essence of the elder scrolls was found again with Skyrim but never the less Bethesda wastes no time smashing my dreams and releasing a seemingly family orientated Dlc, I don't wanna build a house and have a family I play video games to get away from that, I wanna become an entity of greater imagination, hearthfire is essentially The Elder Scrolls: Sims

So.... you would approve Batcave DLC?

Well lets just hope it is flexible and we only sore the family view time version in the trailer.

sine its such a small dlc, i wonder if they added more craftable weapons and armor

Yes, but even nefarious villians every once in a while need to withdraw to a quiet country cottage and sip cognac under a majestic elm or take a nap in a hammock strung between two apple trees.
