User blog comment:Dar'Rajhin/Skyrim: Hearthfire DLC Details Leaked/@comment-4588723-20120823140107

That description sounds a bit amateur to be honest, not sure how legit it is....and there's no way BGS is going to roll out a new DLC PURELY to introduce custom homes, there would have to be a questline and something substantive added to the player's "portable property" to round out a whole separate release. They learned from the Horse Armor incident, and they'd rather make some of their fans wait an extra 2-3 months for a full expansion than ask us to pay for one new feature under its own registered title; that's just frivolous and potentially profit-killing. Assuming Hearthfire is truly the next DLC, it'll be months away, plenty of time for us to learn more about what it's REALLY about.
