Hearthfire (Skyrim DLC)

The second and hopefully not the last downloadable content to come out for the massively successful action role-playing game “Skyrim”. “Hearthfire” brings something completely knew to the “Skyrim” universe now giving players the ability to purchase various plots of land where you can build your own massive estate and adopting your very own bundle of joy. By taking of the new crafting table option you can create your own home and add additions on to your home such as a library, armory and extra bedrooms which can be fully stocked and decorated to make your home roomier. With the added option of gaining the assistance of a steward, which will stay in your home and provide anything you could ever need for your home, but you may have to go through the occasional attack from unfriendly Mudcrab or Bear. And to continue to make your cozy little home life even better is by adopting a child and if you gotten around to it you can move in your wife to your home as well. While this isn’t something that “Skyrim” fans were clamoring for but “Hearthfire” supplies a massive amount of fun and enjoyment for anyone who’s an accomplished Dragon-born or just starting out.


This “Skyrim” DLC offers a lot of opportunity to customize your own lifestyle and make your character even more unique than it already is. And even with players who don’t enjoy what “Hearthfire” has to offer, the $4.99 price won’t have them complaining for long. With all “Skyrim” has to offer “Hearthfire” brings even more to love.

Good:
-Owning your own home to customize and enjoy
-Having a steward to supply anything you need
-Only $4.99 for so much to enjoy

Bad:
-No new quest to follow
-May not be something every “Skyrim” fan was looking for
