The houses are not as large as you were probably hoping. There is an entrance, main hall, and 9 possible extensions(You can have three per home). The main thing is the homes allow you to centralize the crafts. Enchanting, Alchemy, growing ingredients, smithing, etc. can all be done within 20 steps of each other.

As for Dawnguard, I am sorry you guys are getting it late/or not at all. Bethseda really should have anticipated difficulties. Yes the PS3 is hard to code for(Luckily Sony learned this lesson the the PS4 will be much easier and much better), but other companies have gotten it down, Bethseda should have too. If it makes you feel better it was not that great in my opinion. You guys will probbaly get an exlsusive DLC over this is it will most likely be better than Dawnguard.
