The Elder Scrolls VI: 10 Huge Rumours You Need To Know

10. Homestead Building

Something that was introduced long after Skyrim dropped was a DLC pack that let you customise and put together your own homestead; the Hearthfire add-on.

It was a pretty neat inclusion, and one that some more hardcore fans ended up modding further to essentially create a Skyrim-based survival sim that was equal parts Minecraft as it was Elder Scrolls. Naturally this idea is something that could be carried forward into the future, with many survivalist titles like The Long Dark and Don't Starve building sizeable reputations off the idea of seeing how long you can last in the cold.

Even Far Cry 4 has seen a customisable homestead out in the middle of the world, and although you were free to buy a house and start a family in the original Skyrim, chances are you ended up being the worst partner in the world as you galavanted off around the world in search of dragon bones and rare swords.

Instead, having the ability to create your own base wherever you like - in the middle of the mountains for example - means you can fast-travel and store things that can later be traded in, making for a great inclusion.
