Skyrim Hearthfire Preview



In the last downloadable content for Skyrim's Dawnguard we found ourselves hunting down vampires so it was good for Bethesda to give us all a break in the next downloadable content called Hearthfire. Within Hearthfire you'll be able to purchase a piece of land in Skyrim and build your very own house.

You'll by able to purchase land after obtaining a deed, by using a crafting tables and work benches you'll be able to use raw material to build rooms such as alchemy labs, enchanter tower greenhouses, kitchens, libraries and trophy rooms. By using the interior work bench you can furnish your rooms and craft items such as display cases to showcase your treasures.

Outside the house you can create gardens, fish hatcheries and bee hives making resource collection a bit more convenient. You can hire stewards to help out with the household tasks, they also offer transportation options to towns.

Once your house is set up you'll be able to move your spouse in and adopt children allowing you to raise them up, but living off the land isn't that easy as you will often find yourself stopping Skeever infestations and defending your property from raging giants.

Bethesda plan to release Hearthfire on September 4 on Xbox Live for 400 Microsoft Points. Check out the full trailer now.
