This idea is so ridiculous and the narrator so deadpan that had it been April I would have believed this DLC to be a rather elaborate joke.

But the question still stands... why would I want to adopt Skyrim's brat children?
To later kill them.

I remember back in Morrowind making your own house. You had to get permits, get builders, deal with the problems of say running into a monster ridden cave where your foundation was supposed to be, the money, dealing with the politics of the great houses plus the Empire, the builders again, that guy who doesn't like your great house of choice, more permits, hey that wizard decided he thinks adding some Dwemer machines would be cool go get him the parts he needs, more permits, your builders again. Hey your house is built but who just wants a house lets get a wall and some merchants, more paperwork.

In the end I had a magnificent house that I never used because I had long ago decided to squat in the house in Balmora with the dead guy. You know the house I'm talking about. Come to think of it he made a great dresser.

Please tell me they're not charging for this fucking Horse Armour 2.0
Someone please make a PC mod exactly the same as this so they can't fleece us like the console monkeys.

But they don't die... ever. I tried!

If a dragon or giant attacks my home and the kids won't die, what reason do I have to actually bother protecting it? If my spouse is one of those "essential" followers, she/he won't die either...

Can I make armor out of my children? Not like skinning them, just tying them onto my armor. With some twine...er...or something.

There's no way I'm making this sound good.

In before "Horse Armor"

Also, this is a Bethesda game. WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU WANT CHILDREN?
For some people it would be to go along their kid related mod. /shiver

But my answer would be hopefully children related quest, quest always been a good motive. =p

American Federal Income Tax is about equal to the Canadian income tax in most Brackets.
Anecdotal: My father was born and raised in Michigan and we now live in Canada. According to him and his experience, though you pay less sales tax in the US, the amount of income, property etc tax makes things about on par with the amount of taxes we pay in Canada. The difference is that we have health care in Canada.
It is true that Canada has higher sales tax but I think when it comes down to it in the end Canadians still do have relative wealth about on par with Americans.

Mmmmmmm, I always love me some cupcakes after dragon-slaying!

Can you imagine...how glitchy and fucked up a house that has multiple versions of how it can turn out will be, when the houses that had no other possibilities in the vanilla game STILL do not work right?

Releasing the trailer for the next DLC before the first is even out for PS3 is bizarre as well.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?????????

Sorry for the language, but people are actually interested in this????????

If you want kids or a wife, why not get up from your fucking computer and find one, or do the people who can't find a girl buy these things?
Good advice bro, I just walked outside, got married and had kids, it's all thanks to your comment.
I too, have followed his great advice. Through this, I also decided to kill people with Norse weaponry, and I suck peoples blood now, because video games are for babies, and I have real life to get to.
OT: I will make a pimp-ass bachelor pad for Dolokiin, my Blacksploitation character.

Ah but all this building a home and starting a family is small comfort if I can't marry Serana. Figures, in Skyrim, as in life, seems all the best women are either taken or have deep seated emotional scarring that prevents them from being able to truly love. Ah well, not the first time I've had my heart broken.

On the other hand if this DLC allows me to display Ulfric Stormcloak's taxidermied corpse in my living room, it might be worth buying for that alone.

Adoption... ADOPTION!!! All those little shits in Skyrim need to be eaten by dragons not adopted. Not that my female character and her wife can really have children without some sort of divine intervention but by Asura I wouldn't curse anyone with having to raise a child from a Bethesda game.

who ever spent more than one minute in their house?
You'd be surprised. Lots of gamers, me included, spend hours just making sure the bookcase looks properly stacked.

Well, I'm sold.

Although, what would you bring you children for gifts? Most of the things the player can carry in Skyrim are meant to kill people, to eat, hold things that you eat, and things related to killing people.

Maybe adding some children's toys with the expansion?

Also I'm wondering just how many people will find some sick and twisted way to mess with the whole adoption thing "Hey there! I killed your parents by setting them on fire! You're my kid now, grab a dagger and help me kill half of skyrim"
Oh, that should be simple. Take , multiply by two (or ten) for the pirates, and there you are.
