Skyrim and its DLC is 50% off on the Steam sale today.
Question: Is Dawnguard worth it for $10? Is Hearthfire worth it for $2.50? I haven't looked into Hearthfire that much, but is it more robust than the available mods that let you build houses?
I most definitely think that's a steal. You get new weapons, new armor, new spells, new shouts, new areas to explore, lots of missions and it has replay value due to the fact you can choose a different "side". You also get new followers. I believe I spent around twenty-one hours doing all the side missions and the main quest. Serana is a pretty cool followers and she has a surprising amount of banter. You also get new skill trees for the werewolf and Vampire Lord. There is also the quest 'Lost to the Ages', which is an amazing quest line in and of itself.
Hearthfire is totally worth $2.50. You get to purchase land in three different holds and build a house with various types of rooms to choose from, such as an armory, a trophy room, a greenhouse, etc. You can also have your own carriage which takes you to more places than the regular one does. You can also have a stable for your horse and your very own bard. Adopting children is a nice touch, too.
However, I don't have it on PC, so I am not able to get the mods that are available for that platform, which is extensive. Both DLC was well worth the regular price to me and I am thinking of grabbing it for the PC now that it's 50% off.
