Home Town

Post » Fri Dec 10, 2010 11:03 pm

Early on I have a waterfront property that serves as my main home in the Imperial City but later it's Skingrad because it's so centrally located. I usually end up with Anvil, Chorrol and Bruma homes too. I was so disappointed that the Bruma home didn't have a fire in the fireplace. My first-ever home was Cheydinhal and I love that house but it's only late-game if I get it again because it's so far away from everything else.


I thought the Bruma home eventually got a fireplace? But you had to buy the kitchen set or something?

Bylvid the Savage rents a room at Sickly Bernice's Taphouse in Crucible, although he has had to take some of his business over to bliss, so he he doesn't have to deal with filthy (now dead) elves.

Re the Bruma fireplace, remember the four elements, air, water, earth and light. None of that impure fire nonsense for my Altmer, a couple or six Varla stones in there and you have everything you need. And who would want a roaring fire when you have a 25% weakness to it?

You can buy the fireplace but it has no fire. :( In that coldest of the climates in Cyrodiil, it was the wrong fireplace to have no fire. lol

Actually the fireplace is there from the start, you don′t buy it separately.

If the DLC counts, I might be moving from Cheydinhal to Frostcrag later in life. I'd be doing it for the sake of Frostcrag Reborn, which is really cool but comes with some obscene loot. My char was level 2 and some of those weapons were worth more than all the gold she'd ever had put together. Once she gets high-level and rich I'd like her to live there, because it really is a neat place and would suit her well.

Definitely the IC, for its more central location.

It's listed on the Wiki as something you get when you buy the House Kitchen so I'm a little confused now but anyway, they should have a fire in it because it's cold there. Thanks. :)

Ok I never checked that up, but my character bought the house and took a look inside before the upgrades. What he tells me is that the fireplace is there all along and it makes sense, right? It being a part of the actual house and all :)

I've made different places home. I usually end up buying all the homes after a few successful runs through Oblivion gates, hauling back all that daedric gear. But I always return to Skingrad, not because I love the house nearly as much as I love the city. But if Skingrad is my home then Frostcrag is my base of operations, where I plan all my excursions.

Skingrad is my main place of operations in most cases, as I like the house, and the large amount of stuff to make potions with. I normally don't go dungeon crawling since I'm still trying to get a crazy amount of money in the game. I don't know why... It helps that the servant in the house you can own there gives you an unlimited amount of pies for master alchemists to make millions of potions with. You can just make money using an insane amount of potion making with the help of all those pies.

I need to get everything but a few stolen goods in some houses I own out of all the houses so I can put them in the Skingrad house. I am using the Chorrol house just to make fun of how messy my room in real life tends to me. The dining table in that house is being used as a joke shrine for heavy metal music. I'm going to need to find more than metal dining stuff, though... If only I could add a candle to that thing to honor the band Candlemass... If I can get a picture of it when it's done, I will. It's going to be awesome. :J

I also pretend the maid is my character's dream woman just because... Why not? She did refuse not to be used for "other purposes" sadly.

I absolutely love Chorrol, but I don't love the Chorrol house. Most of my characters use the Skingrad house if they can afford it. However my main character has several hideouts. One is the shack in the Imperial City, and one is Leyawin. He has a couple more too, but I can't exactly remember them all. :lol:

Also OP, you should add an "other" or "guild base" option. Because some people might live in the DB Sanctuary, or the Stallion Lodge, or something.

Merari the Altmer has decided to increase his already considerable magical abilities by purpously contracting vampirism.
Therefore he bought a house in the city ruled by a likewise civilised vampire, Skingrad.
He and Janus spend many a night debating arcane knowledge and history. They also enjoy games of chess.
Merari hired a pleasantly professional, albeit dim-witted maid to take care of his house.
When she sleeps she also takes care of his meals.

From the Desk of Sir Rugrat gro-Shurgak, Son of Lord Rugdumph and Knight of the White Stallion:

My uterus was spent at the Rugdumph Estate, County Cheydinhal. But in my maternity I have come to know the White Stallion Lodge in County Leyawiin as my adobe. It was here that I encumbered the fair Mazoga, and it is here that we have chosen to devolve ourselves to the extenuation of the fowl Black Bow Bandits.

:rofl:

I find this tale very enterprising. I wish you much prospective in your quest to get rid us of the describable Black Bow Bandits. I also wish you luck and hope your relationship with Mazoga flounders. :D

(As you can see, I have also spend a sinkable amount of time with Lord Rugdumph.) ;)
