What content will it have? I heard that we'll be able to make our own houses but is that it? seems rather pointless for a PC player....

Yeah, it's not like Skyrim is available on any other platforms, right?

$5. If you dont want it, dont get it.

well that wasn't productive at all.

You can adopt, have stewards, fight of things that attack your home, and since you can turn your house into a personal lab and/or forge, there might be new things to create.

Well, it does offer some stuff that mods don't. You protect your house from skeevers and giants, adopt children to live there, hire a steward, and the areas where you can build your house and stuff. And then there's how you build it, you can make each room have a different style.

Very interesting. Thanks guys.

Here's the official page for the DLC: http://gamesas.com/en-us/games/hearthfire

Scroll down a bit and click "read more" for more details. PC gamers might not get as much out of it on the surface as console players due to the existence of mods, but this will, if nothing else, give modders more resources to improve their own home-building mods and make them even better. Win-win imo.

BC.1 ha

im wondering why none of my houses have bathrooms...seriously, i can cook a 9 course meal but i cant take a crap?

What do you think the garden is for?

Wow a cow, I always wanted to have a COW!

Buckets thats what they are for

But I already have a bathroom (PC) has shower, basin and flushing loo, now just guess where Lydia wants to sit all the time?

really kidnappers? didn't hear about that one, that'll be interesting, who's going be kidnapped? the kids, the wife, both?

That all sounds awesome!

I hope Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs makes an appearance.....

I play on PC with a nice Breezeholm mod and I can't wait for this DLC. While stabbing things in the face is awesome, sometimes just immersing yourself in the world is just as entertaining.

I almost wish there was a game mode that would turn off the main quest and all the guild quests and just let you be a regular guy (or girl), farming, hunting, maybe open your own shop, earn enough money to buy a house, go adventuring when it pleases you, etc

The logic of the criticism for this DLC confuses me. People are complaining as though only a finite number of DLCs are available and that Bethesda has somehow "wasted" a DLC spot on this when it could have been used for face stabbing/burning story lines. Any additions to the game are welcome IMO and if you aren't interested, then don't buy them!

I'm excited for this DLC also! And I think that more dlc's will release after this one anyway it's not like they have a set limit.

They also accept 1000. I just tried having the year be blank. You can just make it blank with the spacebar. I'm the oldest person on Earth now!

I'm excited for this DLC and I play on PC.

^This.

Firstly, I'm a PC gamer, and I'm looking forward to Hearthfire - in Morrowind I always enjoyed building my Stronghold, even when I had 2 dozen homes from mods installed. This looks far more 'hands on' and player-involved than the stronghold building process in Morrowind, and I'm all for it. And let's not forget that between the announcement of Skyrim and its release, there were plenty of very eager "can we build a stronghold" type queries from players of all platforms - there are plenty of people interested in this regardless of whether they can download a house mod and have it insta-appear in their game or not. This has more involvement in the process from the point of view of the character, and that is good for those who like to role-play things besides killing dragons and saving the world.

Secondly, I would like to think that for PC players who like to mod their game with player homes (whether doing it themselves in the CK or downloading someone else's mod), it offers the exciting prospect of a new way to add modded house content into the game in a modular way, or even use the mechanics of Hearthfire to make mods (or provide a mechanic to simplify mods already in the works) in which the player can rebuild Winterhold or Helgen or a new city of their own. PC players who think this offers more to those on consoles are correct only in the short-term - over a longer period, I think modders and hence PC gamers will probably get even more out of this low-priced DLC. I think it could make certain modding projects easier, and open up a whole range of modular pick-and-choose-components style housing mods. I hope!

I better get a dungeon with that.

You don't need a bathroom. You're Dovahkiin. Any food you ingest is transformed into pure Shout power.
