Build a House, Raise a Family in New Skyrim DLC Hearthfire

[Tiamat666]

From a technical standpoint, we will need to create pregnancy meshes for both the Dovahkin and the female NPCs who ineveitably get pregnant. A new NPC for babies and then wait 9 years before they become children NPCs.

That sounds like a plan. Considering that I still play along my 5 year old Oblivion savegame on occasion, waiting a few years is not an issue in Elder Scrolls games.

Perhaps they should also let you sacrifce your child to the daedra for power. Maybe overpowered though if you can make a lot of kids.

Uh... instead of turning Skyrim into Fable, you could always just get a house-bulding mod... like any other sane person...

Believe it or not this generation revolves around consoles, not PC.

OT: Looks cool, I won't get it, I hate all of the kids in skyrim.

Given that many players were turned into vampires with Dawnguard, this seems like an odd tone shift.

At this rate they'll make a reality show out of it.

"At home with the Dragonborn!"

As for the DLC, I'll buy it once it comes to PC. Glad the timed exclusivity deal with MS is done after this. Least I hope it is. It was for the "First 2" expansions. This counts as an expansion right? RIGHT?

*crosses fingers*

Why would you buy it if you're on PC? Also why wait? Go grab a house mod or two or three from Nexus.

1. Because Bethesda DLC historically has higher production values than user created mods (I currently have 25 mods installed for Skyrim, ~20 for Oblivion, and ~50 for Morrowind, so I know).

2. Because I support the dev.

3. Because I want Bethesda to know that PC gamers still want dev made content.

4. Because I suspect modders will use it for a starting point for future house building mods.

I don't really want to get into a "Don't buy DLC, Get MODS!" argument. Few companies have the level of community support that Bethesda has. Some companies in recent years have actively been trying to discourage modding (some even put it in their EULA). As long as Bethesda continues their high level of support for the modding of their games I will continue to purchase their DLC.

Sometimes companies need to be shown that fostering consumer loyalty and good will pays off.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Spoiler: Here is a cookie!

OT: Since $5 is nothing to me I will most likely get this so I can run my own sweat sho- I mean orphanage. (insert creepy-ass smile here)
