    I really like the idea of owning a property, but this expansion doesn't implement it very well. Buying a house with gold and customizing it is decent, but if you want to build your own house, gathering the materials might be very tedious and exhausting, and it's not worth your time.

    Boring and pointless; doesn't have any relationship with what is enjoyable about the game. Really not even worth the $5, it's for completionism only.

    You can build a house. And put stuff in it. That's about it. [April 2013, p.88]

    Hearthfire will appeal to the player that has made enough headway to justify buying the add-on but for those constantly on the road or haven’t been burdened yet with too much stuff to carry around, it might seem too superfluous to justify the purchase.

    If you have the soul of an interior designer, then it's time for you to celebrate. Hearthfire will give you hours and hours of building your perfect home with all its new features. On the other hand, this DLC does not include any plot related content, so if the only thing you seek is adventure, this DLC is not suited for you.
