Bethesda has announced Skyrim's next DLC drop, and while "Dawnguard" was a collection of new items, characters, locations, quests, and abilities, "Hearthfire" lets you simply build a home.

You'll start out with a small cottage, and eventually build it up into a compound complete with armory, alchemy lab, stable, and presumably every other amenity that Skyrim has to offer. Oh, and you'll fill it with orphans.

We're hoping it gives you the option of going all Fagin on those kids, adopting them only to train them and unleash an army of loyal pickpockets on every city on the continent. Maybe we're thinking too big, though.

Check out the trailer. Do you need another home in Skyrim? Tell us in the comments or on Twitter.
