All your firsts belong to me!

Hearthfire gets a big fat "Meh" from me (But I still voted no!). While I like the idea of a better customed house, building it yourself seems like a chore getting 3000 nails. From what I can see it's sort of the same housing system we already have, but just provides more options. It is likely that it will be each room cost X materials. You can build Y type of room in the Z amount of designated spots. Each room will have A amount of decoration locations, and you can place anything you want in this spot from list B, C, or D depending on where in the room it is loacted. To fix the logistical loading bug, they added display cases that will proably work like weapon racks where you activate it and it locks the item you give it.

Overall, this is really not important to me, and that may give me a bias. However, while this all seems well and good, it still seems like a waste of time. While your house may look cool with your dwarven museum, and armory lined wall to wall with mannequins, it's all rather fleeting. You can only admire it for so long before it's just "your house". Give me three barrels and a bed and i'll be happy enough.

And most importantly, where the hell is the skeletal butler?!
