"Daddy! Look what I found! Can I keep him, pleeeeaaase? I'll feed him and clean up after him and .... AAAAAAAAAGGH!"

I am very much in favor of being able to construct a personalized place to put my feet up and drop off my hard earned loot.

One of the best mods in NV is the After school mod, short and you end up with a decent one room base with storage early on that you can add crafting stations to close to where you start

So a housing upgrade mechanic I can get behind. As for romance, um
Unless they hired specifically people who are good at that.....no.

I hated everything about hearthfire.

Even the house designs and building mechanics.

Only if I can sell them to the slavers once I get tired of family life.

...especially Willow...

Agree, but only if we can have characters that look like this: http://i.imgur.com/AwHcFBB.jpg

On a serious note, I wouldn't mind if something like that were in the game. Although, I'd rather buy an existing place and upgrade it rather than build it from the ground up.

I can't think of anything nicer than sitting by the glowing light of the Uranium bar in my beat up camper. No need for anything grand, just some real simple homes like that garage in the trailer or the bed of an old truck. As long as they implement auto-storage from the awesome Skyrim mods. There's nothing worse than manually depositing thousands of crafting items =/

Don't you mean barbie dream house dlc?

Finding different color cans of paint and being able to paint walls, furniture, etc. could be pretty fun without losing the wasteland "feel."

I'd just like to be able to design my own house. Maybe water purifier attachment, or a repair station that let's you repair weapons up to a certain extent, or slows the rate they degrade at.

I actually wouldn't be against some kind of base-building mechanic...

I'll probably just wait for the mods though, like the ones in NV that lead you place objects and make your own camp.

I want display stands for weapons and armor. Lots of them. With how many unique weapons there were in Fallout 3, there was no way to view your collection other than as a list in a box. Having weapon racks and armor stands and such would be great.

As long as they aren't so damn buggy like in Skyrim.

but muh duplication glitch

But didn't it make it to where you couldn't take stuff off of it?

Yep, this happening to me too.

Bethesda sux.

I just reloaded aaaaa lot, took forever once in particular

Gotcha

Indeed

Anyway, I still have managed to not buy Hearthfire after proclaiming it is not worth any money for me

So i don't really care if that was to happen. Though i'd prefer they use that effort on something worthwhile.

They should just not make homes crappy to begin with. That way we won't have to change them with mods, or buy anything like hearthfire.
As far as generic spouses goes, I hope they don't make companions in general as terrible as they were in skyrim (and even fallout 3 to some extent). Make them like New Vegas! Look at mods like Willow from new vegas.

More depth in general is always good. We don't need "200 available companions" if those companions only have enough dialog to answer commands like "Follow me", "Wait", "Do this", "Go away".

TL;DR Just make vanilla game good enough to where they don't need to waist time making something like hearthfire, and make companions and spouses have depth/ not svck.

I'd rather not pay $5 for something that can easily be modded into the game if one desires to build houses so much. Quite frankly, I saw Hearthfire being just as ridiculous as Oblivion's horse armor or those guild homes DLC.

So no, I don't care for another Hearthfire.
