A tiny problem with the Alinor Home

The Alinor Crest Townhouse is beautiful and all but I'd like to question 1 design choice...

See those windows? I really don't want to be nitpicky and in most games houses don't look the same on the inside and the outside, but...

As you can see the windows highlighted on the first picture are missing. I understand that they might not fit into THAT interior, and that this way players can furnish the rooms in more ways but this makes the ground floor of the home feel like it's underground.

What do you think?

    Secret hidden room in the wall blocking the window?

    People who design the interior and exterior are 'prolly part of different departments, and there is some sort of corporate policy that prohibits them from coordinating what they are doing. Or that at least is what it feels like.

    Lot of the houses and interiors in general suffer from these differences. I suppose they might also think that no one will notice or care — well if that is the case, they are wrong.

    Another issue, with the exterior and interior, can be seen when exiting to the patio through the door on the second floor. Once you are through the door look behind you, look on the roof of the building. See the dormer atop the window left of the door? Well, now go back in and see what is on the inside — spoiler... NOTHING!

    look at the daggelfall overlook there many windows on that that are not in the main building. and the tower has not door load screen disconnecting the exterior from interior, and that has windows on the outside and not inside

    It did seem a bit "cavey" on the first floor unfurnished preview. there are very few windows.

    Ya hope the devs still have fun designing and don't accept less immersive quality... Not like their the combat team.

    I wish they would add these windows. The house is so dark and depressing on the inside, the only highlight being the garden. Some natural light would make the depressing lower section much more appealing and of course, immersion :D

    Yeap, this has been criticized many, many times on many, many houses, even in Summerset the devs' pure, utter incompetence and carelessness continues, its pretty bad quality really. And yet they always ignore the players and care nothing for this type of feedback, frustrates the hell out of me.

    Such poor quality design, how long is this type of thing gonna continue until they do something about it >:(
