Build A Home Or Castle In Skyrim

Hearthfire, the next official game add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is now available worldwide for download for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE.

Hearthfire allows players to purchase land and build their own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more.

Choose your land, customize your house, guard it from unwanted visitors, and turn your house into a home by adopting children. For more information on
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Hearthfire please visit www.elderscrolls.com.

I like how you have to make the different objects in the rooms. And it looks like there is some role-playing once you get a family going. Our own Todd Hargosh is reviewing this one and should have his report in soon.

John Breeden II
John has spent his journalism career covering just about everything, from small-town meetings and crime scenes to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Congress. He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider. He is also the founder of the Tech Writers Bureau and the chief editor of GameIndustry.com. He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
