Spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers (maybe)

Also I sent this from my iPhone it might be a little spotty on a few words but double checked most of it

My personal opinion on hearth fire is a B+ close to an A-

To start off I have dawnguard installed which screwed me royal with the random vampire attacks (killed like 99% of sawmill people I went to) but that is my fault for running around with a pick axe this aside the building aspect is neat you build a house by entrance hall,main hall west and east wing and basement. Only one attach for the west and east is allowed so either say alchemy tower or bedroom witch makes buying multiple properties useful. Materials buying is seamlessly add to all general good stores (belathor lady at bits and pieces ect.) witch is nice and clay and quarry stones comes from 5 feet away from you house only thing hard to obtain in large quantizes is iron
(you need a metric to of it) witch makes the dlc last since you need to find it all the time. They also made land buying same as house buying in other holds like riften solitude(tied to the jarls main quest example laid to rest in morthal)

Why I like it a little better the dawnguard(not to much more)

vampire lord is an awesome power threw dungeon and kill all in your path in crazy berzerk god mod (don't believe me beet entire main quest on master as vampire lord barely a scratch doing it only 130 health to) but for me that novelty wears off fast. I like to role play and that's what that dlc is all about you being you and making descision you might regret latter (Lydia as steward got owned by hoorkers 2 of them :p ). As of right now I'm rping my master warlock is taking a break from adventuring and doing small odd jobs(get this here quest) with his husband(yes I'm gay ^.^) scouts-many-marsh it great because it nice wind down time after school with minimal plot thinking. To conclude I believe this dlc is worth the 5 dollars if you really think rping is really your style don't believe this dlc was made for the finish all quest type people

I hope you guys liked it just say if you don't want me to make any more threads or if it was to wordy or ramably

Honestly i thought this DLC was quite bad since all they did was add 3 extra houses they pretty much look the same no matter how you build them too and you couldn't even choose where to build them

I'm pretty disappointed with the housing customization also. Or lack there of I guess. It's neat, worth 5$ to me, but I was expecting a little different. Oh well.

They should have made the DLC free tbh it's not worth 5$ to me i just played it for like 1 hour and my house was pretty much done

I think you'll get a better experience out of the DLC if you don't have all the money right away, like at the beginning of the game, so it actually feels like you're building your house piece by piece.

That's why I made a new character when it came out. Agree 100%.

I honestly believe the highlight of the dlc is the kids the housing is the secondary attraction but think of it this way you have to pay double the cost of the dlc to watch a bad movie is as long

Shiney, let's be bad guys.
I'm a little disappointed at the lack of customization. But I still think it was worth the $5. Especially if it leads to have this feature out of the box on future Bethesda games. Fallout 4 I'm looking at you.

I do think as far as immersion goes it would probably be a better experience with a newer character where you can build your house as you go. instead of of one that already has all the houses and has enough gold to build everything at once.

It's nice to take a break from crawling through dungeons fighting off Drauger.
Glad i had a ton of Iron Ingots but still had to run out and farm more.
Glad the clay and stone are nearby and never-ending. The adoption thing is fun but if the kid asks for More money.... i already have teenagers. All in all i am having fun with it and $5 was money well spent.
My wife spent more than that in FB to furnish her Frontierville house lol
