Hearthfire however does add some new interesting quests to Skyrim, such as your wife being kidnapped by bandits, or having to deal with giants or wolves attacking your home, though these do not happen very often. They do occasionally ask you for gifts or if you want to play a game with them (such as hide and seek or tag) but beyond that, not much else. Outside of home building Hearthfire allows you to adopt up to two children, but they don't necessarily add anything substantial to the game. It becomes a bit time consuming, and expensive (in game Gold that is) to finish your home. Always going back to town to get more materials, going back to your home, building the parts and furniture to your house, and then repeat again. The building process can also grow to become a bit repetitive.

It would have been a better experience if you had full control over your house building, but alas this is what you get. You also cannot choose where to place your furniture, you build it and it just appears in a set place. You can tweak a few different things such as adding in different wings to the house, but the general look and layout is the same for each one. For starters all the homes have the same general design. While the above sounds promising, there is a lack of customization options for your home. You are also able to lay out the foundation of your home, from expanding the main room, to adding a library, alchemy tower, armory, extra rooms, and more. Each building process is the same, you build upon the foundations using materials such as wood, iron, and a variety of other resources that you can acquire from various shop keepers. The plots of land are given to you randomly, so you won't have a choice in choosing it, but you can purchase all 3 plots of land eventually. Hearthfire is activated by getting a note that sends you to one of three random Jarls that allow you to purchase land (after doing a few tasks for them first). The result is a decent, but passable, experience. On the surface this sounds like a fun idea, and in many ways it is, but it doesn't really expand upon the game. Hearthfire is a Skyrim DLC that allows you to build your own house. Hearthfire doesn't add anything of substantial importance to the game.Not as many customization options as there could have been.The building process is a bit repetitive.Creating your house provides a unique experience.
