✭This thing is awful. Besides the outside view, (which you have no view of inside) it's just ridiculously small area to decorate. Especially the top floor which is a complete rip-off compared to every other Telvanni upper tower with much more room.
Overall, extremely poor quality, poor design, and meh outside area with decent views
3/10 compared to other notable homes. This thing needed more effort than this pathetic homeEdited by Nelson_Rebel on June 16, 2017 4:30PM1 -
Myyth✭✭✭✭✭It looks like a big brain tumor or something. Whatever it is, its very ugly. The interior is small, cramped and dark.
Even if it was free I wouldn't want it.Edited by Myyth on June 18, 2017 12:11AM3 -

I'm expecting them to come out with a furniture pack for sale in the Crown Store with that style of Vvardenfell furniture at some point in the future. They be fools not to.

Itemized, the Telvanni furniture in Tel Galen (I counted 55) amounts to about 22,500 crowns. I didn't itemize anything else in the furnished tower. This could be the best buy for that many pieces.Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.

Stewart1874✭✭✭✭✭Personally I'm absolutely gutted about Tel Galen. Its never worth 8000 crowns in its life. Its pretty small - Like go up the teleporter, the rooms tiny! Add in the doors you need to black screen through to get into (idk what to call it, its not a loading screen but its needlessly fiddly).
Lets actually take a step back and think about what 8000 crowns actually is, You'd need to buy 5,500 + 3000 unless you had the crowns lying around (or some left over) but thats almost £35 for an incredibly underwhelming house. I actually think the smaller Vvardenfell house is better and thats 4000.
I had been holding out for Tel Galen but now I've seen it coupled with the price I just can't justify it.
I'm all for supporting the game but try and not take the *** with pricing eh..PS4 - Europe - Aldmeri Dominion0 -

hamburgerler76✭✭✭✭Yea got to say I bought the tower but am disappointed with how they turned out I'm fine with the basis that they grew around towers but no need for the them to like someone threw up the tower.0 -

✭Perhaps we have it all wrong! Just as architectural styles change over time, perhaps the Telvanni are no different!
In the second era when ESO is taking place, the more Morel-like mushroom tower is in style and fungally chic. However, the Telvanni magisters have a much greater architectural eye towards what is considered "in" then we give them credit for.
Rather it was caused by simple style change or perhaps Red Mountain got more active closer towards when Elder Scrolls: Morrowind took place, the style of Telvanni home shifted towards a more Agaricus style mushroom. Not to be outdone with an "unfashionable" tower the other magisters rebuilt there's, well regrew it.
This can be further verified by the differences in Neloth's tower between Edper Scrolls: Morrowind and the Dragonborn DLC.
That's how I'll justify the differences in appearance over time fluff wise at least. A magically vain "keep up with the jones" syndrome on the Eastern Coast of Vvardenfell by the exceptionally vain Magisters.
They could have still went with that and made them not look like a giant took a fungal infested crap that we turned into a tower.
I don't mind it looking different, but it also looks like crap.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's sucks that new ones are so different, but from the perspective of someone who never seen it, it's far better than the orginial design wise. Sorry couldn't agree

✭✭✭Maybe they were more fleshy and bubbly in the early days when there wasn't so much ash around. When Red Mountain started pushing out more ash and blight storms the fleshy bit died off and more woody stuff grew in, being more resistant to the ash.TonyRockaroni wrote: »Another thing I've noticed is that the Telvanni towers in ESO seem to be mushroom towers that are built on Velothi towers as bases. That is another aspect that I'm iffy about. Perhaps it's another second era/third era thing. I don't mind it, but it is slightly disappointing.
As for the stone foundations, if you dig around long enough in the lore books you find that "During the Middle Merethic Era, Aldmeri explorers mapped the coasts of Vvardenfel [sic], building the First Era High Elven wizard towers at Ald Redaynia, Bal Fell, Tel Aruhn, and Tel Mora in Morrowind."
and "The original First Era High Elven wizard towers along the coasts of Tamriel were also abandoned about [The late Merethic]"
Found in en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Before_the_Ages_of_Man.
So it is not inconceivable that the Telvanni took up the towers and grew mushrooms around them and we only just seeing it now in the 2nd Era as by the 3rd Era they had already covered up most of the towers or the towers had rotten away leaving only the mushrooms showing
I also think that the use of 'Tel' for the name of a town comes from the Hebrew and more or less means 'old town that is built on rubbles of towns previous'. Given the pentient for religious and mythological inspiration that is obvious in the series I have wondered for quite a while if this was intentional. I think you're right about those early towers and that it was intentional from the very beginning that the Telvanni 'Tel's might actually be meant to be towns built on old ruins. This does make Tel Uvirith a bit odd but there may be more of a story to it than we are aware.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

If you are a guy, look down. If you're not a guy, find one and ask to get a look in their pants.
Then obtain copious amounts of alcohol to numb the pain, and possibly expunge the memories, if you're lucky.Edited by starkerealm on June 18, 2017 8:34PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭See, this is why I'm happy I own the Forsaken Stronghold and Grand Topal Hideaway homes. 1 is a standard and 1 is a premium. Both are definitely worth their costs (in my opinion), and are incredibly spacious and high quality. I mean... Say what you want about Grand Topal Hideway costing 15k crowns, and being an extremely limited release (4 or 5 days I think it was). But at least for that price, you got pretty much an entire zone to yourself. Even with the invisible walls, and relatively low item count. It's still visually impressive, and absolutely massive for a property to decorate and call your own.0 -
