Now I liked Dawnguard (yeah just liked, but its hard to surpass Oblivion's shivering isles) so I had more or less good hopes about Hearthfire.
And it does what they promised, give the player an option to build his own house from scratch.
You can keep you home small and cozy or go all out and make yourself a mansion fit for... a rich show off.
Different type of rooms can be added to your house like an alchemy room, an armory, a trophy room etc.
Though you can't cramp every room available into one house, since you can build 3 houses it doesn't really pose a problem.
You can also live in your house with any in-game spouse, a steward, a bard and adopted children if you equiped your house with a kids' bedroom.
Beginning to sound a bit like the Fable games.... ^^;
Anyho before you can enjoy a complete house there is work to be done.
Various materials have to be gathered in the wild or bought through shops or your steward.
Some of the materials have to be constructed or smithed into items like nails and locks.
This can be quite a task unless you already have a fat wallet of gold to buy most stuff.
Also the lack of any serious quest is dissapointing.
But all in all this dlc delivers what was promised.
