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

[Vareoth]

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?

Why would you play a racing game if you can just go outside, buy a car and race with it?

Why would you play a shooter if you can just go outside, join the army and shoot real people?

Why would you play Okami if you can just repaint your dog, glue a garbage can lid to its back and worship it?

"Get your own house."
: D !
"Build it any way you like, yourself."
: DD !
"...on Xbox live."

They really do have a contract with MS to deliver DLC a month prior on Xbox, huh.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

Haha, Bethesda devs are copying player made mods now We've had this on PC for months now from Nexus.

In before "Horse Armor"

Also, this is a Bethesda game. WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU WANT CHILDREN?

I've said it before on Twitter, and I'll say it again here:

Although after I sent that one out, this one came came to mind to be better (maybe):

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. Let's hope that it's very customizable.

Considering I was expecting larger expansions for Skyrim DLC, the scale of this feels a little disappointing. Although, I figure this must have been a product of the Bethesda Game Jam [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115750-Bethesda-Shows-Off-Skyrim-Game-Jam-Mods] that the lead developer liked the look of, perhaps a compilation of some of the more domestically orientated projects cobbled together and spruced up to be purchase-worthy. In which case there's likely to be more exciting, larger stuff to come.

Still, if you have Skyrim on console, at this price you can hardly go wrong.

Well, seeing as they can not die, I'm going to use them as bait for when giants attack my house

 

[Goofguy]

Not a bad concept. I'm not interested in it myself but I can see where others might be.

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

Not to even mention, simple mods already achieve this [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/18480]... And both the mod and the DLC are inferior to Creation Kit, which too is free and can make any kind of house you want, without limitations. CK isn't even hard to use.
Oh, adoption? Takes less than 5 minutes to mod.

You ARE aware that Console gamers can't use ANY of that right? Like, not a single one. We're stuck with whatever the game gets.

 

[RaikuFA]

Hi, PS3 user here.................. still waiting on Dawnguard.......

Same here. No one is worried that they'll just say fuck it aand skip out on PS3 support for now on?

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Will you people quit bitching? No one is forcing you to buy this and if you even suggest that
the production on this is taking away from "Real" DLC, you deserve to have your face laughed in.

Also, stop citing the mod.

Bethesda has ALWAYS taken good player mods, improved them and given them to console players like myself.

I for one am looking somewhat forward to this.

If you really can build the house, it'll be great.

Even if it's just an elaborate upgrade system, I still think it will be cool for 5 bucks.

I initially scoffed at the idea of kids, but then I remembered those wonderfully bloodthirsty little bastards at the orphanage where you kill the lady for the Dark Brotherhood.

"Kill one person and you can solve so many problems. I wonder at the possibilities."

I want HER for a daughter!

 

[BehattedWanderer]

What. The. Fuck.

Seriously. What the living fuck is going on here? More Xbox exclusive DLC? I know they said they'd get first dibs, but now they're just getting it all, and not even letting the PS3 or PC have the leftovers? Yeah, PC has mods, but seriously, what the hell, you dicks? Release this shit on PS3--or is our money not good enough for you asshats? Why release a multiplatform game if you're just going to design the rest of the game for one system?

Furthermore, really? The Sims: Skyrim? Is this a fucking joke? I don't go to Skyrim when I want to build and design a crappy cottage and adopt some twerp, I go to Skyrim to be the fothermucking dragonborn.

 

[Randomologist]

Oh great, I can adopt kids. Can they carry loot?

More to the point, one thing I would like to do is to own big lunks of land, and also have an army to defend it. Less house, more castle. Add to this the jagged crown and the fact I'm both the richest person and greatest warrior in Skyrim, and I detect a sense of megalomania here.

Add Fus Ro Dah as a dialogue option, while you're at it. That'll shut Maul up when you meet him, the cocky yet immortal bastard.

In before "PC has a Mod for this, free"

Let me state a few things guys:

• - It's optional to purchase
  - This is for console gamers
  - Only 400 microsoft points ($4 dollars) for a nice feature
  - Bethesda worked on this before that free mod came out for making your own home

Apart from those facts, I look forward to this. It's going to be better then any other house I can get in all of Skyrim and not to mention how awesome it'll be having the adoption system intact .. though, a lot of the kids in Skyrim are quite awful so am unsure overall.

It seems that Hearthfire goes into much more detail than mods, though. You have to craft the components to your house (Did you see the locks?). Even as a PC player I look forward to this, and the price seems reasonable. Furthermore, the framework for this addon could easily be used to allow for new and awesome plugins that let you build entire castles.

Console gamers now get what PC Mod users have!

Also, I wanna know that's really important here: Can one hire a lusty argonian maid?

 

[Voulan]

Yeah.....I might just skip out on this one. Not only because I'm a PS3 user so I probably won't even get the opportunity to play any DLC for another year or so at this rate, but also because adoption was never even a consideration. I'm a legend, not a mother.

And my house only serves as a storage space, so I'd only spend three seconds in there at a time anyway.

 

[Laser Priest]

Why would you play Okami if you can just repaint your dog, glue a garbage can lid to its back and worship it?

I speak from experience when I say that this isn't nearly as fun as Okami.

Well, you can marry a female Argonian. Don't know if she's a maid though.
