You Know You're Playing Hearthfire When... : V - Skyrim

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:05 pm

when I spend more time buying toys/enchanting wooden swords, looking at dresses and buying sweets. Instead of smithing intimidating armor and weapons and maybe doing something about that dragon problem.

When you haven't done any adventuring for five days, just wandering around Skyrim aimlessly wondering how every little piece of junk will look like in your house.

You know you are playing Hearthfire when the unique weapon you carefully placed in a display case is now floating in your stair well blocking access to the second floor.

Despite previously having a fairly stable game, your game starts to freeze all the time. Which does not go well with having autosaving turned off, and often forgetting to save.

You interrupt a corpse looting session to chase down a deer. Large antlers! Give me your large antlers!

You should have seen me today. I was chasing down a deer across the plains of whiterun hold and ran right past a flame atronach and witch battling each other. My first thought was: I'll get back to you in a second, first I need to get those antlers!

You know you're playing Hearthfire when your entire inventory is nothing but iron ingots, wooden swords, and dresses.

When you keep looking at the mead barrels in your cellar and wishing you had them in your house for real.

When you actually give a crap about killing Horkers..........

when placing a book on your bookshelf at home, or at work
you go in sneak mode and start flapping and waiving the books pages
and start hitting it on a wall to make it face the right direction 8D

Your game crashes 10 times more often than usual and making thousands upon thousands of nails and hinges instead of weapons or armor at forges causes you to gradually lose the will to live.

try removing all those workbenches, it stop the crashing thing ;D

you know you're playing Hearthfire when you do more gardening there than in real life, and get excited about it.

LMAO

You get to your house, and are happy to see chickens! :wacko:

do hope you mean normal chickens and not the modded exploding ones :happy:

You run across the length and breadth of Skyrim, visiting all the general merchants, trying to find a HUGE bowl which will match with the other bowls you have in the house just so you can have a big bowl of fruit (red and green apples) as a centrepiece on the dining table.

You become Thane of some town so you can befriend the Jarl and take all his nice big bowls and candlesticks home for your dining table.

You kill skeevers in your cellar one by one looking for the infamous Sammy!

What is this Sammy Skeever? is it a pet that kids bring home?

I have been blasting all the skeever away with fireballs, did I kill Sammy?

Sammy is much smaller than the others and does not attack, while the kids can bring home a pet skeever , I believe Sammy was the name given to a stray who took up residence in someone's cellar

Too busy fixing up my house instead of saving the world from Alduin.

So even if I haven't adopted any kids it can still spawn. If I accidentally killed it, does it re-spawn? doesn't the Cellar cell reset every 10 days or so?

thanks.

nope, normal chickens, that didn't get eaten by wolves or mashed by giants! :biggrin:

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:23 pm

You ignore the Daedric armour in Belethors shop and go for the Wooden sword!

I went all over Skyrim looking for a second wooden sword. Gotta be fair with both kids, ya know? :biggrin:

When you kill more giants in your front yard than you do dragons while out adventuring!
When you go all the way to Dawnstar to adopt the boy off the streets because at least the lads at the orphanage have a roof over their heads.
When you wish you could choose a different color palate for each of your homes!
When you choose your spouse for their perceived parenting qualities rather than how cute they are or how well they fight!
When you wish that you could hire an interior decorator!

Funny! Like, how suitable a Mom would Jenassa make, unless you wanted to raise up a stone cold killer?

I think it would be neat to make "strange meat pies" for all your Namira follower friends in your new oven. :woot:

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:39 am

when you stop at a general good store or Khajiit caravan before going home and buying them out of sweets and toys just in case the daughters run up to you on your arrival and ask if you got them anything. I buy/steal every sweet roll and other food I come across haha.

You ignore the dwarven ingots in favor of that cool set of gold and blue bowls that will look great in your main hall....

or you buy/steal every big kettle because they look great in bare spots filled with bottles of ale and mead, especially out on the deck. Party time!
