You get to play 'house' in Skyrim soon

Bethesda announced the second DLC for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. After slaying some dragons and exploring dungeons, it's time to unwind by coming home to your very own home that you built yourself. Building your dream fantasy home is now possible in the Hearthfire DLC, and if you've always wanted a virtual child in a fantasy world, you can adopt a child if that's your thing. Check the trailer below.

It's great that Bethesda is expanding the crafting system. Building and customizing your own house looks great. You can create a small cottage all the way up to a huge house equipped with an armory, alchemy, and pretty much everything a dragonborn needs. , but I have no idea why child adoption was included. Was that really demanded by the community?

As usual, Hearthfire hits Xbox Live first on September 4 for 400 MS points. No word when this will be release on Playstation 3 and PC.

Skyrim's first DLC named 'Dawnguard' more details at E3

Skyrim's first piece of DLC is named 'Dawnguard' and will arrive in summer for the US, which means around June to September. Only information right now is that the DLC will first hit on Xbox 360 and more info will be announced on E3, which is a month away. 

Bethesda Blog teased the DLC with the image above and pretty much says nothing else in the post. I have Skyrim on the 360 so I'm definitely going to pick this up when it gets released. Yes even without info, more content for Skyrim is a definite win in my eyes. Don't you agree?

Don't worry about Xbox 360 getting first dibs on the DLC, its only a month head start. And if you ask me, one month of first access to DLC is nothing compared to what PC players get to enjoy - MODS. Playstation 3 get no love apparently.
