Hmmm, the thing is there weren't 3 expansions for Skyrim. Hearthfire let you add 3 houses to the holds you didn't already have a house in and you could adopt two kids....And that's it. That's not an expansion, but an add-on, akin to the Fighter's Stronghold in Oblivion.

The thing is as well that Bethesda has only released 5 offical add-ons to Skyrim (one of which was a texture enhancer and that it and the Portal Space Core were only available on the PC, you really only have 3 add-ons), compared to the 9 in Oblivion and the 8 for Morrowind.

Now granted, many of those add-ons were armour and the such, but then consider that for Bethesda's other big game, Fallout 3, 5 add-ons were added, each lasting seveal hours and went to a variety of locations outside the Capital Wasteland.

A "gift from the Aedra" feels a bit more like a stocking full of squib jelly during the New Life festival.
