There's hate on Hearthfire? Really? I thought it was great. Nowhere near as good as I hoped it'd be, but it's still a nice thing to have. And it's about as pricey as a broken twig.
Yeah, you can get it with mods, but console players don't have mods, and Bethesda can a better, more stable job. Deal. With it. People. If you don't want it, don't buy it. There's DLC out there far more worthy of your hate. And they couldn't give it out for free, Microsoft doesn't allow it. Just because we play on consoles doesn't mean we don't deserve some nice extras, even if we have to pay for them with the money we could make selling the dust off our furniture.
