Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

I want something small next, something similar to Hearthfire but not quite that small. Although I would like the price to be within the 5-10 $ range. Maybe you could rebuild helgen, become Jarl, deploy guards there and have to defend from bandits and raids all the while having people come live there.
the larger the economy the nicer the place is. It would be something you would seriously have to work at. While you were away your advisor (someone you appointed) would have to maintain the village, the more responsibility your advisor gains, the more likely he will be able to alert you to assassination attempts or stop an invading force diplomatically.
just a thought
