Housing system

I know that houses/properties have already been confirmed in skyrim, but what lengths would you like it to go to?

I voted yes for each question.

I want houses in each city so I don't have to stay in the inns. I want to be able to move my furniture to mimic my actual house as best I can. Lastly, I want to change the outside of my house because when I have 20,000 gold, I don't want my house to look the same as it did when I had 5,000 gold. If I'm rich, I want to show it off.

Why would anyone vote for less freedom? Why would anyone vote no?

I would also really like houses (and/or strongholds/castles/towers etc) OUTSIDE of cities. I loved the stronghold aspect of Morrowind and I hope they bring that back in skyrim somehow. It should be difficult and costly, but worth it. The DLC castle in Oblivion was a decent example of this. I'd like a bit more variety and choice. I was also thinking it would be cool to be able to buy/build a farm, plantation, or a mine.

Also, for earlier on in the game (before I have unlimited money/power) I'd like to maybe be able to buy a cottage that is on the outskirts of a city or in the wilderness.

I'd like it all, but I realize it won't happen. This won't be like Dark Cloud.

Edit: Hopefully they'll be a house in every city though.

voted yes, yes, and I'm not sure. Not sure on the last one since it's done in a more open space. May present more of a challenge for devs to accomplish. I think having movable furniture in one small interior per city shouldn't be to much to ask.
Although there is a mod that has furniture Havocked (Havock Physics) for Oblivion, so you can move/ push it around, but I found it too moveable. I'd be in a hurry, bump into furniture and it goes flying across the room.
I'd like movable furniture in the sense that I can pick it up into inventory and place it down, but once in place I don't want it to be effected by Havocked Physics. Of course it would take the player to momentarily empty their inventory to be able to lift larger pieces of furniture.

Voted yes, not sure, not sure.
Although the options would be nice I think there are probably better ways for Bethesda to spend their time, plus on a more selfish note I'll be using mods and will probably get those features that way.
