What does an adventurer do when they're done slaying dragons? Settle down, apparently.
The new DLC for Skyrim gives the player the ability to buy land and build and customize a house from the ground up. And I don't mean just place a house. It looks as if you make a house from fairly raw materials and build it with a high amount of detail. (Seriously...in the video below the Dovahkiin is making nails....nails!)
According to Bethesda's press release houses can range "from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more." It also looks like you'll be able to adopt children, but since you can't yet kill children in a Bethesda game I see no reason to do that.
I guess that sounds all well and good but right now I'm living in a giant vampire castle with hot blood dolls to feed from whenever I want. Not sure how you can beat that. I do like the idea of expanding the crafting in Skyrim in such a way, and I can certainly see this being expanded to the point of building entire communities in later Bethesda titles. What about the ability to create a town and be your very own Warlord in Fallout 4? Yes please.
Hearthfire will be available for download for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live on September 4.

I'd say it'll be less than an hour after the expansion comes out that someone with the PC mod that lets you murder children will build a mansion, fill it with kids, then record a video of the slaughter.

You just made me go from "Cool!" to "HRRRNNNG" in one statement.

If you are on PC.. complete waste of money. Already mods for everything in that video.

it's not some huge epic add-on that will drag people back into skyrim like hungry dogs after a tender steak, but it's something that'll be neat to have the option of doing. personally I enjoy games like the sims where you can be the arcitect and create something custom of your own, playing sims as a game after that, not so much.
I'm interested, but probably won't be THE thing that drags me back in the world of tamriel.

"It also looks like you’ll be able to adopt children, but since you can’t yet kill children in a Bethesda game I see no reason to do that."
I was going to say the exact same thing.
