To be fair, this thread is talking specifically about the leaked content and what people thin about it, and this is what people think about it.Exterminas said:
It would be quite a boring and pointless thread if people all just shrugged and said that there was not enough information, speculation is fun!
OT: While DLC is fun, the main kick I get out of it is the wealth of new resources that people will be able to play with. I remember trying to mod the base game and being annoyed because all the cool mods at least required Shivering Isles for some of there assets. So even though the actual content made by Bethesda might be underwhelming the doors opened up for modders is not.
It's only on one platform though. Saying 'it's pointless because mods' is like saying 'Dawnguard is already on the 360 so why should they release it again'?The_Lost_King said:
But yeah, I'd like a bit more than just a house. Like spellcrafting or something.
To be fair, using the same logic you can work out houses WILL be the only thing in this DLC.SajuukKhar said:
Like [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Fighter%27s_Stronghold] this [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Thieves_Den] other [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Vile_Lair] DLC. [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Wizard%27s_Tower]
If that's true I'll be really disappointed, I was hoping for at least another Shivering Isles sized map. Even though Dawnguard has a lot of biggish sized new areas it didn't feel nearly as impressive or explorable as SI, and much more linear to boot.Jiffex said:
So if the build your own home IS true, what would that mean for the mods that do this type of thing? Would they become obsolete or would this give more expansion to the moddable content.
The problem with bethesda and mojangs modding community, is that it makes it impossible for them implement any new features or DLC without people getting their pitchforks and going "MODS ALREADY DID IT!"
This DLC will also be available for consoles, have any of you stopped and thought of that for a second before throwing this off as the worst kind of trash ever?
Also. For the moment being, this is all rumors and leaks. How about putting your weapons down until we get some official information eh?

I like how everyone just jumps to the conclusion of "OmG der's alr3dy mods for dis!". We know NOTHING about this apart from what this guy says, yeah, he's had accurate information before, that means jack shit. I highly doubt that it would just be "A building mod", and if it was, I'd probably still get it, because chances are, it would be better than the mod.
Jumping in on the whole "mods" argument...
Mods can indeed do anything. And they are free with the purchase of the PC version of the game. It is possible for a mod to do anything,so long as it's within the limits of the engine (and sometimes beyond,thanks to Script Extender utilities). In theory,a mod or mod collection could have made a Shivering Isles equivalent (Look up Nehrim: At Fate's Edge sometime) and are of varying quality. This DLC is interesting,and the big feature,that we know of,is already done by a well known mod. However,this DLC will more than likely include other features. However,since non-PC users can't use mods,they must used official DLC,so Hearth Fire,if it is only a "Build your own home" thing,will be able to scratch the itch of console gamers.
Also,I don't see anyone pointing our Oblivion's "themed home" DLC's...
More on topic,if this is legit,colour me intrigued. Something to keep an eye on.

Only the first two actually, and knowing Bethesda they could probably find some way to weasel in a DLC that's not counted as one of the two DLCs.The7Sins said:
The Fighter's Stronghld was actually pretty badass, I remember being able to get pelts to make trophies and stuff.TrilbyWill said:
But anyways, with Hearthfire we can supposedly buy land, which means there's most likely going to be more then one place to put it, and thus probably more then one way to build it up.
The houses in Oblivion's DLC were 99% done shells you just bought furniture for. This DLC has building up a home from a one room cabin, to a vast mansion, which already makes it go far beyond the scope of Oblivion's houses.
From my experience official DLC is pretty much always better and feels more polished, it also has (good) voice acting. I don't mind at all, in theory everything can be done wit mods but if I have to choose between a mod and official version of the same thing I'll go with the official one.
Anyway let's hope they'll put a Carriage in front of your house or make it near a city for those of us that don't use fast travel, I don't use any house mods because they all assume you use fast travel.

No offence guys and girls but how about we wait till the OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT before we make our judgements yeah? No-one said that it was going to be a small content DLC - I seriously doubt that it would JUST end up being a house construction simulator.
if that's the case then thank god I hated the timed exclusive dlc for skyrimScrustle said:
and my opinion? I'll be waiting for the steam sale on this like dawnguard
I feel you man, for some reason Oblivion was more inspiring than Skyrim.Mygaffer said:
Might have been because it was the first game I seriously got into.
Given that Oblivion's house plug-ins were just a shell of a house that you bought furniture upgrades for with maybe one or two small quests like "kill badguys in basement", and this DLC has purchasable land, and houses you build from one room cabins up to large mansions, I am going to guess that this is far larger then an Oblivion plug-in.NoneOfYourBusiness said:
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a multitude of quests like
-Clearing the land before you can buy it
-Hiring workers to build your house
-Having to do stuff for the local Jarl before you can get X upgrade
-Having to collect resources to actually use in the construction of your house
Sort of like Morrowind's house building quests, but longer, and less shitty.
And they will probably throw in things like adoption, and seasonal foliage, and skeleton butlers to round it out.
