Hearthfire offers an interesting experience, but fails to expand Skyrim 0

On the surface this sounds like a fun idea, and in many ways it is, but it doesn't really expand upon the game. The result is a decent, but...

A huge disappointment for the Final Fantasy series 0
Pros:-Great graphicsCons:-Boring and bland storyline and characters-Rediculously weak and unispired combat system-Some annoying voice actors-Repetitive and dull linear gameplayThere is no good way to put this, so let's just be blunt.
