I know there are a number of criticisms regarding housing, but I would really like to focus on is diversity in environments and styles.

1. The number of "evil" type dwellings is severely lacking, yet there are thousands of vampires and werewolves around. Where's a good crypt in a cemetery? An underground cave?
2. A combination house-boat would be great, especially moored on a private pier.
3. Personally, I want a house in Coldharbour or in the same purple/blue rock that permeates this plane of existence.
4. I just completed Eoki's quest chain in Vvardenfell and I do not understand why the Telvanni house style didn't make it into the Crown Store. Instead, we got two very brown, muddy dwellings that are very similar and look like they fell out of Tattoine. In stark contrast, the Telvanni tree-houses are absolutely spectacular in color.

How about you? What would you like to see concerning aesthetic and environment for housing?

    I love snow and I want a house on Bleakrock Isle. With a big yard and snow-themed outdoor furniture.

    But really, I think improvements are more urgent. Otherwise we just end up having more buggy, lifeless space.

    There is a cave. It is called Earthtear Cavern.

    Telvanni? Tree-houses? Spectacular? Those 3 words don't quite match :p

    I believe the operative word is "underground" cave. Earthtear Cavern hardly gives the feeling of claustrophobia that an underground cave does. Think about delves in Daggerfall and you're more or less on target.

    • More unique houses that make sense architecturally, and don't just feel like a copy/ paste of a existing buiding('s)
    • Bigger yards
    • Less small dinky rooms being called "houses"
    • A dwemer style home would be nice

    The main item on my housing wishlist is a Dwemer-style home. My Dwemer enthusiast would love one of those, and there are certainly enough unused ruins in Vvardenfell to turn one into a house!
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
