Overall, I like the idea. Getting new houses is fun, and if you can actually customize them, that'd be great. Adoption looks ok... my first (evil) thought was "Can I murder their parents and then adopt them?" While it's neat to "start a family," I hope the marriage mechanic will be upgraded. Right now, getting married is useful only to:
1. Get food once a day
2. Get 100 gold once a day
3. Get a 15% skill speed buff while resting.
Your spouse never goes anywhere or says anything new, and short of PC console commands, you can't get "divorced." I'm hoping that all the new additions to the house make the spouse do new things as well; ie, get an alchemy lab, have them make random potions. Or set up some shrines, find them praying at one of them.
Also, remarriage would be nice. Er, y'know. Just in case you accidentally turned into a werewolf, killed, and ate your wife.
... hey, these things happen to some of us!
