Underwhelmed... : V - Skyrim

I loved Hearthfire...it was better than any three of the house DLCs from Oblivion combined. Maybe even four combined.

No don't do math, you do it in a way that doesn't apply to what the guy you quoted said, in fact you actually strengthen his point.
When the only choice is to build or not to build the main hall and cellar then that is a very poor choice, perhaps a different style of room should have been added to this choice.

2 x (3x3) + 3

I don't understand the logic behind this equation, if we can have 3 different houses at three different locations, how does that help the customization of any one single house? I will tell you it doesn't.

3 x (2 x (3x3) + 3)

All in all, there is 9 note worthy different combinations of rooms.

There are 27 different combinations of wings per individual home.

There would be nine if you could only choose two things and each choice had 3 different options(3 * 3=9). You would have A1 and A2, B2, or C2; B1 and A2, B2, or C2; C1 and A2, B2, or C2 in that case.

Remember when a cell is loaded the game need to "remember" where every item is placed. I would surmise that being able to put furniture wherever you wanted would be quite taxng on the system.

It 'remembers' the position, height and rotation of non-furniture items. There's a lot more of items like that than there are furniture.

My only real complaint is that I can't build any room on any side of the house. WTF is that about?

And everything I use to decorate with ends up all over the floor 95% of the time.

Other than that this is pretty good.

Some people expect content from a 20 dollar dlc to be in a five dollar dlc. AND You call 5 dollars hard earned money? Now that is wierd.

I see the Whaaaambulance is doing burnouts in the parking lot, again.

How many combinations of different layouts you could make.
The shapes of the first two rooms are the always the same as are the others, seeing how Bethesda couldn't have been bothered to add 4 or more wings available to build on instead of the 3, you think they would have at least gave a couple of different structures for each type of wing.

Yeah, you'd think they'd put a lot more features in a DLC that cost five whole dollars.

It's not a lot of features, it's just house design.
$5, in some cases 1/10 of initial full retail price of the game, quite a large amount.

I don't have the DLC so I couldn't check, so I just referred to the guy that bought it who said there was 9.

There is only nine combination. You can't have kitchen and an armoury in one house because they are both part of the west wing. If you could pick what wings all nine rooms were to go then you would get your 27 combinations. But you can't do that do its only 9 combinations.

I think the only thing I have to complain about this DLC is the lack of other raced children. Even though I was pretty much expecting they wouldn't do it. Though I'm still afraid to actually adopt a kid for a slight chance they add more kids in the game.
