    Well, when stack of fish furnishing catches your eye... It means that everything before it was meh. Also, it seems, khajiits don't read that much, with their "full" bookshelves being half-empty.

    In general, everything is of very high quality and detail. I am especially thrilled to see whether sand circles would be available outside of CS, which I doubt though

    The textures on some of the furniture pieces are mushy - I hope they fix this before everything goes live.

    Some good pieces. I like the building components most.

    Still kind of confused that there is no upholstered Elsweyr sofa...

    With the Khajiit being the race of the only, really plushy upholstered, (proper) sofas in the game.

    The potted palms look useful, both style-wise and slot-saving wise and I like the bed with the blue bedlinen and the fountain.

    Because there already are upholstered Khajiit sofas?

    I'm just glad that there aren't ones identical to the existing, but requiring a new material, like the Murkmire versions of some items.

    Perhaps it is because we already have the finest upholstery built in to ourselves yes?

    That does not mean you can take it for your own no!

    So, we can only have one upholstered sofa, in one size and colour, for the rest of time?

    ...and which colour?

    Red, of course, like the other two sofas (one of which doesn't have end pieces, but I will be generous and include it).

    ...and that is supposed to be enough?

    ...forever?

    Do you even furnish?

    They don't (or wouldn't) though.

    Even quite sleek cats have notoriously boney butts. xD

    Which is probably why the Khajiits had the upholstered sofa, in the first place.

    Sorry, but I cannot be happy furnishing in a game with so few comfortable-looking seating options.

    If the Khajiit sofa hadn't existed, I would have given up on furnishing, right from the start.

    As it would have been hell trying to use only bright red (and pretty ugly, in the case of the only genuine one), Redguard sofas, in every situation.

    The Khajiit sofa has the advantage of being a soft/faded red, at least - but, it's still incredibly boring being stuck with only one viable option, all the time.

    Same, pretty underwhelmed with the new furniture. I think the colour scheme is holding them back a lot too, if some of those items would have increased contrasting colours they wouldn't be so bad... but right now they are some of the blandest most boring brown single-tone furniture in the game. Perhaps Imperial is the only other style that has a more underwhelming colour scheme.

    And upholstery would have helped that a lot. Where is the vibrancy we grew used to from the Khajiit, where are the warm colours of Elsweyr, where are the luxurious fabrics and patterns? The most elaborate items are often just some pale gold carving on a pale brown chair. :neutral: Some items have a decent colour scheme and are distinct enough (and some are really good to be fair), but a lot of these are a bit too monotonous imo, especially the comfort-oriented items like the sofas and benches and chairs.

    Finally we have handmirrors and brushes!

    Also all the additions to my market setup.

    Food looks much better than what we have available.

    Lantern festival deco! Makes me excited to see festival in game too!

    And those epic hookas!

    And in general I like furniture style. All those carvings and details! Irl would be a nightmare to dust, but no such problem in the game XD

    Sleek Creek house will be completely redecorated with all those pretty shelves etc.

    Overall I am pleased.

    Kinda hoped for some khajiit-themed crating station though. Like we have with CWC. Maybe some nice grill thingie that doubles as cooking station. Or maybe alchemy station styled as skooma lab. Oh well.

    This one is planning ahead for poor droprates and not expecting to have all that she wishes in the short term. Perhaps the next anniversary festival may be bountiful? Otherwise Khajiit is saving all her master writ vouchers for the day they end up in a very expensive envelope with the crafting elf.

    This one wonders though about the envelopes.

    As we have not yet seen blue or purple envelopes for Summerset might it be because there are a lower number of one or both of these kinds of recipes out there - making a random envelope system not so good if you get one of the same few items every time?

    I like that they have some filled objects - bookcases, plates with food on them, etc. More of this please, in ALL styles.

    But I'm certain finding the patterns and whatever new special material required to make them will be a tedious grind. Assuming they're not in a crown store pack.

    Probably this is the most detailed and rich furnishing style they have released. I like they added many building blocks which can be used to build a house from scratch in the Coldharbour "house". Also I like how there are several variants for some pieces. Some furnishings seem to be available at vendors like the white items, which is great.

    (to the devs "lurking" in this thread ;) ) I wish you would add so many quality furnishings for the existing styles.

    I'm kind of sad that there are no new golden blueprints at the writ vendor when Elsweyr launches.

    After each patch I went there to check - but no. Has anyone heard anything that they will have new ones and only release them later, perhaps? I mean, they had some when Morrowind and Summerset went live, even Murkmire got some, and they were shown in eso live. No nothing this time.

    They know that people are unhappy with the housing system as it is, stagnant and all.
    And now they even don't follow their own release patterns anymore.

    I was really looking forward to some new things to spend my writ vouchers on. :/
