The next pieces of content for Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has been announced this week and will be apply named Hearthfire.
The due date for arrival is 4th September Bethesda have also announced and will set you back 400 Microsoft points. ,
With this content you will be able to devise, assemble and customise your own house. Players will be able to purchase a plot of land and then turn raw materials into a cost new home. Various rooms, such as a kitchen and a library will also be available making Whiterun far less appealing as a base point.
This new build will certainly have its uses too as they can come complete with greenhouses, enchantment towers and alchemy labs for growing and crafting items.
The officiel trailer below shows the DLC in all its otherworldly greatness and gives us some idea on the optional furniture, display cases and trophies that can be used to make our new homes a real spectacle.
You can even add in a well maintain garden, bee hives and fish ponds.
Obviously keeping these in order can take some time so you even have the option to hire a steward to buy raw materials and turn them into fancy furnishings for you.
Board of the silence then hire a bard to sing you songs at home, invite in your spouse too and adopt some children to keep the place lived in.
It seems that your home can however be attached by some irritating monsters which you will need to defend against – as long as these aren’t as regular as the vampire invasions from Dawnguard I’ll be a happy man.
The whole homebuilding mechanic has been one of the small gripes I had with Oblivion and Skyrim as it was such a joy building your own place in Morrowind. Balmora was the closest town for me and gave me enough support to build my own small community which I found my character operating from. I always felt that creating a base yourself gives you more joy when using it and also a sense that this belongs to you more than the usual standardised improvements.
Do you remember the Morrowind houses? If so where did you place yours and more importantly are you looking forward to the Hearthfire content?
