Bethesda continues to cater to the needs of their audience with Hearthfire, the new officially announced DLC for Skyrim:

With Skyrim’s newest game add-on, Hearthfire, you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.



Hearthfire releases on Xbox LIVE next week (September 4th) for 400 Microsoft Points.​

Like Dawnguard, Hearthfire is a timed Xbox 360 exclusive, which means it's going to be about a month or so until PC players can adopt children en masse, too.

Thanks Gamebanshee

Skyrim - For modders, by modders.

I bet Chris Avellone is kicking himself now. His DLC would have sold a lot more if it had kids and houses in it instead of all that story-focused crap.

And the next adventure will be "Make breakfast for the kids and then walk them to school".

Just what this game needed. IMMERSHUN FTW.

Actually, the sad thing is, their community probably wants this.

So much for bethesda's promising "real" expansion packs for skyrim. First dawnguard, now this.


Can wait to see what they do with Fallout 4.

"Bug fixes? Patches? Sorry, can't do, have more crap DLC instead."

You know, this could actually be decent enough if it would offer a real advantage to Skyrims gameplay (read: integrate into the story, offer unique quests, etc.). Knowing Bethesda it will however most probably be not much more than useless flavor stuff and another way to exploit an already broken economy.

Btw., how much is 400 Micro$oft points in real money?

I'm also somewhat concerned that some otherwise good mods will eventually depend on yet another overpriced DLC, as it's already happening with Dawnguard.

Now you can't say Bethpizda does not listen to their fanbase

transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings

Now I understand why Bethesda got into a legal struggle with Notch

 

[TripJack]

will it include child molesting mechanics or will those have to be modded in later

 

[Black]

I can see great synergy combined with the dozes of pervy loli mods.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

And the next adventure will be "Make breakfast for the kids and then walk them to school".

And then the "Go play outside" DLC, which implements an abacus so your Dragonborn can calculate his taxes.

will it include child molesting mechanics or will those have to be modded in later

So entitled . Molesting mechanic is available only as a preorder bonus for the GOTY Majestic Edition.

There should be DLCs in where you play a RPG with DLCs in where you play a RPG.

 

[l3loodAngel]

It's the publishers fault. They make people pay and play these DLCs...

A turn based RPG in a real time RPG.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I can hear the collective squeal.

Strangely, it seems to be coming from the throats of 13/14 year old boyso_O

 

[Beautiful Clown Painting]

Better yet, a Skyrim DLC where you play a medieval computer programmer in the province of Skyrim who, to pay for his children, lodging, gas, taxes and electricity in Whitehold, has taken on an awesome job: designing a new kind of spell called DLC for an ancient tome called Skai-Rym which doesn't serve any purpose but makes all the moronic furries really happy with giving all of their monies in exchange for that crap.

 

[Gerrard]

So when is the "Spears and Crossbows" DLC coming?

 

[Mirthless]

What's next, marriage? Wait a minute...
Couldn't they improve the uncharismatic companions, I know the ES games never had the party element to it but I can barely distinguish one companion from another.

Thought The Elder Scrolls was becoming too casual and wish it would go back to Daggerfall's formula? "Well fuck you" says Bethesda, now its becoming even more casual by integrating all of those fun features from The Sims.

Good God I want to smash Elder Scrolls fans to a pulp.

Good God I want to smash Elder Scrolls fans to a pulp.

Eww...

I just avoid them whenever I can. Horrible creatures.
