Dragonborn is really only truely rewarding for a magic based character

You do realize that in Hearthfire once you get a few levels you get a message, via courier, from the Jarl of Falkreath, which starts a quest line to build your first house? Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

And for the adoption thing, kids will run up to you and start dialog that ends with the option of adopting them. So, unless you completely avoid going into town, that's explained to.

I am level 57 constantly going into and out of a bunch of towns, and I have never ever had any courier that delivers any message from a Jarl come up to me, and I sure as hell have never ever encountered anything dealing with adoption.

So I don't know what you're talking about. And don't bother trying to blame me because I've never seen this in my game, or try to say something dumb as make sure i have Hearthfire checked off when I launch the game. Or call me a troll because this doesn't trigger. Maybe if Bethesda learned how to program their DLS correctly and not break the pattern and keep things consistent, and explained things in the game itself with onscreen messages like they were supposed to, then maybe I wouldn't have to create topics like this. So if you want to point fingers, the point them at Bethesda where the blame belongs.

About the Game

With this official add-on to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up - from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.
Key features:

Choose Your Land - Choose from property in the salt marshes of Hjaalmarch, the forests of Falkreath, or the vast tundra of The Pale. For the more ambitious landowner, purchase multiple plots and start building a real estate empire.

Anyone with half a brain would know to check with the Jarls and Stewards for lands to purchase just from that description before they even buy Hearthfire. The fact that you buy houses in vanilla Skyrim by talking to hold stewards should've meant that they'd be the first people you check with too.

And anyone with half a brain would see that you wouldn't do anything you said without any reason to do it. And anyone with half a brain would understand that not everyone has this trigger when ti's supposed to, so what you said is simply impossible if it's never triggered because you wouldn't know.

BTW stop using information you already know to try and justify Bethesda's piss poor programming methods.
