No developer gets their ideas from a single source. You may have had the same ideas as they did, but it wasn't because they saw you make a post on some off corner of the internet. Also, Hearthfire was already being explored during the game jam, before the game was even released.

I did not mean to imply that it will never happen. I may, and it has before. But having that be the sole purpose of your posting is arrogant and foolish. Perhaps a Beth Dev will see this, maybe they will even respond to it (however i'm sure they are legally bound from saying anything negative about the game). In that case you should feel graced for the time of day. Expecting it to happen (and before you say, "I was only hoping, not expecting" I don't see much of a difference here. There was no reason to bring it up at all if you weren't trying to make it happen) only makes it seem like you feel your ideas are better than everyone else that ever had something to say about the game and yours should be considered over everyone elses'. Say what you have to say about whatever, but don't expect anything more to come of it than some post from other joe-gamers saying what they think. Feel flattered if something does become of it, but don't expect it.
