The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Hearthfire Review - LaPS3

If you have the soul of an interior designer, then it's time for you to celebrate. Hearthfire will give you hours and hours of building your perfect home with all its new features. On the other hand, this DLC does not include any plot related content, so if the only thing you seek is adventure, this DLC is not suited for you.

Skyrim “Special Edition” - What’s so special about it?

"With having no internet at the moment I’ve had a chance to go back through my steam library and play games I wouldn’t normally go back and play, and Skyrim is one of them. With the new remaster, and no modding capabilities while I’m offline, what better way to experience the game than the “Vanilla Deluxe” version."

"What so special about it? " you get to pay for it again......yeah

I got the game for free on pc and I have over 200 mods installed (many of which I converted myself from the original Skyrim). Within 120 hours of gameplay I've only had 4-5 crashes (always mod related)and it looks beautiful. Even on my monster rig the original skyrim crashed regularly with half the mods I have now and it didn't look as good or run as well. I'm more than happy with the remaster.

KingAlistair2694d ago

i have 600+ mods installed for my cousin,cleaned every dirty edit,ugrid 11 and never had a crash in 100 hours,ulta/4k/110+ fps unlocked.Looks massively better than the remaster.

hirobrotagonist2694d ago

Is there no mod limit in the SE? Also, what are your pc specs if you're getting that FPS with mods? I have a pretty beastly system and my FPS took a big dive with all the mods I'm running and I even dropped down to 1080p. Also, isn't ugrids 11 extremely unreliable and causes a ton of glitches related to NPC AI behavior?

KingAlistair2694d ago (Edited 2694d ago )

Sli asus 1080s oc,i7 5820k 4,4 ghz,32 gb ram.Its close to 600 last time i checked ugrids first at 7,9 and were stable.11 also seem stable,but i have the game for my cousin and brother.Havent seen any weird npc behaviour.Graphics mods i use are the usual such as DynDOLOD,climates of tamriel,folra overhaul,grass on steroids,parallax etc.Gonna try noble skyrim at some time.No aa,just reshade. http://www.nexusmods.com/sk...

AndreR2695d ago

It looks better than the original. It is obvious.

Perjoss2694d ago

Its full fat 4k on the pro, its pretty special looking to be honest.

KingAlistair2694d ago

For console players.For pc,2-3 out of 10 unmodded.

Top 11 Worst Pieces of Gaming DLC We Could Have Done Without

Hearthfire:

"The DLC adds nothing to the game except for the ability to build your own house."

For $5 you could build a house in a number of ways, you could include forges, enchanting tables etc so that crafting/alchemy could conveniently be done all in one place, you could adopt children, you could keep a pet, you could turn followers into stewards, you had a carriage driver who would take you to more places than any other carriage service, you could bake/beekeep/farm and fish (which were great if you had a survival mod), and your house would often be attacked and you'd have to defend it.

You could also use it, as most people did, as a central location to store all of your items, display them on weapon/armour racks, and a place to sleep (again, good for survival mods).

So yeah, 'nothing' but all of that.

aquaticDonut2945d ago

Most of that is present in the normal houses in game.

ColonelHugh2945d ago (Edited 2945d ago )

Uh no, most of those things are not present in vanilla homes. Without Hearthfire, you can't have children, pets of all kinds, or unique resource farms. Half of the vanilla houses are also very cramped. You can craft a fully decked out crafting home, loot and trophy home, or a comfy home, or a mix thereof.

nitus102945d ago

Actually your house would often be attacked, however you would only be attacked when you were there to defend it.

Likewise if you had the Dawnguard DLC it was possible that some of the NPC's would be attacked and/or tuned by vampires only if you were in town. Basically if you could not defend some of the NPC's then you may end up with most of the shops being shut-down.

The only DLC I really liked was Dragonborn since you had a large island to explore and some quests which would mainly be limited to Skyrim are now expanded to cover Solstheim as well.

I actually made a bad mistake installing all three DLC's and about sixty hours in (PS3) I found bugs appearing in the game which made me restart with just the Dragonborn DLC.

TheCommentator2945d ago

The notorious "Horse Armor Pack", lol.

Main thing I hated about Skyrim was despite the fact the world was so open they couldn't do the same when you enter a town.

You know how annoying it is go through one loading screen after another when you are roaming around a town. All the doors should of been open so you could go in and out without trouble. Would of made the Restoring the Thieves Guild quests easier.

Oh and a pet hate was how all the tombs and dungeons featured Draugr. They could of mixed it up more, where were the normal Zombies from past games, add more Skeletons, ghosts etc
