I'm happy waiting. If anything I'd like to see what you would refer to a 'true' expansion pack. A bit like SI.

It is the name of a month.
That's the reason why I believe it adds seasons in the game. There's probably much more in it too but after the game-jam video I'm sure we'll get those seasons in the game.

Another thing I have had in my mind is that it may add something massive which happens on Heartfire - maybe an invasion on Skyrim by Aldmeri Dominion?

Hearthfire sounds like a Nordic surname to me. They should give us more variety imo instead of more nordic culture. Dawnguard most likely plays in Skyrim, I'd rather see something new.

No, it's Hearthfire.

The in game time stamp says the month is Heartfire, not Hearthfire, which is confusing as in Oblivion it was Hearthfire and there are several books that either use Heartfire or Hearthfire. =\

the month is HEARTFIRE
If you are going to use 'all capitals' at me, at least have the decency to read the whole thread first, particularly my post with examples of both versions of the word from in-game books.

That's part of realism which makes TES world to be so deep as it is. In real world also same thing has several different ways to write or say it depending on three actors: who, where and when.
Maps, names, places etc. shouldn't be 100% same in every game.

It may be based on a book with the name "hearthfire" in the title, but hearthfire being a month of the year, it seems kind of silly to assume it has anything to do with the book.

Tales and Tallows - 3rd Hearth Fire (3rd September)

No other holiday divides the people of Tamriel like the 3rd of Hearth Fire. A few of the oldest, more superstitious men and women do not speak all day long for fear that the evil spirits of the dead will enter their bodies. Most citizens enjoy the holiday, calling it Tales and Tallows, but even the most lighthearted avoid the dark streets of Tamriel cities, for everyone knows the dead do walk tonight. Only the Mages Guild completely thrives on this day. In celebration of the oldest magical science, necromancy, all magical items are half price today.
Khurat - 6th Hearth Fire (6th September)

Every town and fellowship in the Wrothgarian Mountains celebrates Khurat, the day when the finest young scholars are accepted into the various priesthoods. Even those people without children of age go to pray for the wisdom and benevolence of the clergy.
Riglametha - 12th Hearth Fire (12th September)

Riglametha is celebrated on the twelfth of Hearth Fire every year in Lainlyn as a celebration of Lainlyns many blessings. Pageants are held on such themes as the Ghraewaj, when the daedra worshippers in Lainlyn were changed to harpies for their blasphemy.
Children's Day - 19th Hearth Fire (19th September)

Children's Day in Betony is a festive occasion with a grim history. All know though few choose to recall that Children's Day began as a memorial to the dozens of children in Betony who were stolen from their homes by vampires one night never to be seen again. This happened over a hundred years ago, and the holiday has since become a celebration of youth.



@OP: Maybe add this info to the Firstpost:D so nobody would spam it later?

So hearthfire will arrive probably end of september or october considering a comparison with the time passed for dawnguard from file submission till release date ... What you think?

Well we already have vampires and werewolves so the next hottest gimmick out there would be face-eating zombies battling paladin tim tebows.

To be quite honest, I could care less about the next DLC right now, I'd rather get used to Dawnguard first.

I think the name actually has nothing to do with the month, but instead will have to do with King Wulfharth....nah

I am actually waiting for hearthfire much more than dawnguard .... Couse the game is still missing a lot of content that should have been in the game since beginning .... Whatsnthe point of adding a wherewolf perk tree when the majority of players already played the wherewolf thing and cured it too? So it would imply to restart the game from beginning .... Thus much better to wait them tomcomplete the game with hearthfire eventually than play again from scratch when eaxh expansion comes out ... Just couse they are adding features that should have been out with the game since beginning and not after .... It is ok to add new content .... But honestly a lot of the gamejam stuff for me was just stuff kept out couse not completed for the 11 11 11 cool date ....

Probably an armegeddon of some sort, or cataclysmic natural disaster or event. Only reason I could think of the name being a month in TES.

I won't. It will probably be about some boring Dwemer or Thalmor.
