Skyrim 'Hearthfire' DLC Now Available on Xbox Live

New Skyrim DLC chapter "Hearthfire" is now available on Xbox Live. This fresh installment in Skyrim content allows you to purchase land and build a homestead from scratch, using drafting tables and the carpenter's workbench to quarry stone and use clay and sawn logs to craft structures and furnishings. Players start out able to build a meager one room cottage and later can expand to full manors with stables, gardens, armories, and more. You can even fill the house with the patter of little feet by adopting children. (Holly Green)
