Housing npcs, what type do you want for your home?

CaffeinatedMayhem

Personal chef, brewer, steward. Wish visitors could use my banker, or that my banker would have guild functions.

Guards would be cool, I'm not really into servants but it could work.

Oh! A GARDENER! Someone has to water and weed my creations.

I want to pose my not-in-use-characters in my home, with their given personalty for some movement. The last position of the character within the home is how it remains until next log in, only able to post each character at its last known house, opposite being able to place my banker and merchant at each home. I dont want these to be counted as collectible or housing items, ie if i have 8 total, one playable then 7 are posed in which ever house I leave them within, so 2 in one home, 2 in another ect....

If these NPC are anything like some of the mods I have seen on Skyrim then you definitely have my attention

I want more functionality so that I don't have to go out to the bank and deal with all the 630s that have nothing better to do than stand around spamming their skills.

On console, load times are over a minute for me (at the minimum), so porting to any wayshrine takes time, and then I get there and everyone is dueling right around the wayshrine - so lag and skill effects galore...as I stutter over to the writ boards and crafting areas.

So, yes to an NPC who grants access to your guild banks/traders. And while we're at it, give me writ boards so I can pick up AND turn in my daily writs (or an NPC runner to give them to).

I dunno why people are saying that the towns feel lifeless - I guess if you go to any town without the usual amenities, then yes, but most cities on XB are full of people dueling or standing around spamming.

Well, for that ultimate spooky house effect, ghosts floating about and through the walls and floors and all sizes of creepy looking spiders with webbing throughout.

THIS 100%

Along with the merchant and fence we have now.

1. Buff the banker so he can access the guild bank.
2. Guild trader for my stores.
3. Gear repairman
4. Writ deliveryman
5. Horse groomer/farrier for riding lessons
6. Carriage driver that can take you to a wayshrine (handy for those who have houses far away from wayshrines)

P.S: hurry up with the new skins for the banker and merchant please ZOS.

I honestly don't really care what NPC's they are, as long as there's some Argonian options. Honestly, I think it'd be much better if there were more merchant and banker options racially than just a Redguard merchant and a Dunmer banker.

So yes! If any Argonnian options were made available, I'd be happy!...but not slaves. My people are NOT slaves! 3:<

I don't just want NPC's, I want random spawned NPC's. People from the storyline, dropping in and giving you a gift. An old friend you helped way back when kill some goats that you've forgotten about comes and gives you a fish. Stuff like that. I've spent so much time and money on my house. Absolutely love it, just wish housing was more visible.

AlMcFly

The Undaunted group laughing, singing, and drinking in front of a fire.

Morgul667

Random guild npc from that come and visit your house ：）

Aliyavana

Any other ideas for npcs

Jhalin

DB guard skeletons

Rouven

This might not be very likely, but I would like a flexible system. Imagine being able to use the personalities on any housing NPC and chose what animations they will use.

I bought a house so I could get away from people.

Then again, if I can put people back in my inventory when I want to be alone, I would like:

- A brawny orc personal trainer/security expert to deter burglars
- A gardener to tend my herbs while I'm out on adventures
- Someone to feed and groom my menagerie
- That shirtless Nord guy from Bleakrock Village, because he makes me laugh

lasertooth

A herd of cats.

Gotta laugh, ZOS Housing is a Role Players Heaven but totally useless.

you just said its roleplayers heaven yet you say its totally useless? contradicting statement

Not really interested in this, though I would definitely pick a good looking npc, that would be the primary requirement.

The problem is: the npc will likely wear some ugly outfit, so it would be nice to decide about their appearance, assigning to her/him one of the costumes/accessories we own, and the ability to change that as you do with your character through a dedicated interface.

Or even create the npc in a dedicate editor (as you do with your own characters) to be entirely of our taste and imagination, assigning also the name, sure.

Of course this is all absurd and won't happen, for what I've seen they are trying to maximize the income giving us sloppy and unfinished products in many cases, maximum profit for minimum effort, this can work somehow for a time with newcomers and truly afficionados until it won't last anymore to keep a large customer base.

In the end I would just hope those npc don't count against the item slots number, given the already present issue with that, it should be considered an insult.

The upcoming Soulshriven just stand there, and yes, they do take up a slot.

I want my skyrim family back, but allowed more kids.

Serelir

Oh, wait! I know whom I want: Mannimarco. He's very handsome and powerful and would cause all sorts of lively chaos in my house while I'm out saving Nirn.

I would have to fend off those Main Questers trying to do away with him, I suppose. It would be great fun! Those horrible walls blocking the view from my cottage would finally serve a purpose.

cats are not herd animals

I think the two NPC types that I want most to be able to have in my house are a bard and a spouse. It would be really neat if you could choose bards based by instrument - or even put together a band. I would definitely buy a bard, especially if they had one that both played a lute and sang.

I wonder if they'll be able to make the NPCs wander and randomly interact with furniture if they ever implement that sort of thing. It could leave a lot of room for reserving certain actions for certain characters (like a groundskeeper vs a cook, for example).

Sheyta

Well I need guards & servent's and belly dancing dancers like I hade in aoc - and hem slaves it's after all a red guards palace I got

1. The characters on my account.
2. Training assistant or Squire- an NPC that will provide buffs for you and debuffs for a target skeleton and use skills that you specify (orbs? healing springs with a master staff effect for stam regen?). Basically, an NPC that would let you train and do DPS tests without having to look for someone else.

Bards absolutely, and hopefully I can choose their repertoire.

Dancers absolutely, and hopefully I can choose their outfits (or lack thereof). I already installed the poles, just need my Bosmer wenches.

I want "Milva Githalvel" for my house!
She is the dancing Dunmer at "The Ebony Flask" in Ebonheart!
Huzzah!!!!!
