A dwarven home in blackreach died for this.

Great, I might have to get it, being that it's the same name as my hometown.

Thnx @Elara_Northwind nice vid.

Do you think we will get anymore furnishing space with housing?

To me it still seems off quite a bit.

Yep, another swing and a miss from the housing team when it comes to a dwarven house. First the Frostvault house, now this. So much wasted potential. One dwarven room. That's it?! There is even a structure beneath the ice, but can we get to it? NO!

People (myself included) keep asking for one simple thing. A real dwarven house, and they never listen.

There are so many well designed dwarven delves that are (in my opinion) perfect examples of what many of us are asking for. A couple of rooms, a few hallways, maybe a natural cave/tunnel, a cavern with lava or water flowing.

All these features already exist in game. It's obvious that the delves are "modular" in design. There doesn't need to be anything new. Please just give us what we've been asking for, for years. Not one measly room. Not everything covered in ice.

We certainly can 🐙

Great vid, @Elara_Northwind!

Might have to try out some furnishings on PTS ... and see what can be done with the frozen lake and cave.

So I have seen Stillwater retreat as a Dwarven Ruin and I’ve seen it as a house. Which is it?

It's one dwarven room then you go outside to a frozen lake.

The one that is a actual house is called Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery

I can see the ice fortress potential but we have only 4 ice/ snow furnishings available. Please can we have more? Walls, icicles, frozen waterfalls would have made this home amazing.

Having it purchasable by gold instead of just by crowns would have been great. I doubt as many people will be getting it compared to if you could use gold as well.

Katahdin

yea I was pretty disappointed in it.

One room Dwarven home and a flat frozen lake. I too would prefer a nice Dwarven ruin in a cave like many of the cool delves .
A house with the textures of the one in Stillwater Lake with a couple of rooms and opening up into a cave with milder temperatures (not snow and ice) and a vista view out one side, Id be like "Take my money"

This house is such a massive disappointment for me. The dwemer aspects are so minimal, and a proper dwemer home has been one of the most heavily requested things since Homestead's release. As a sandbox for building, the lake feels like a terrible foundation to build anything hefty on, and the ice cave suffers from the same problem. All in all, a very underwhelming home.

There really is nothing more that needs said.

Aptonoth

Welp there is a small blackreach area being added in q4 dlc. With any luck there will be a proper dwarven home. It’s likely the very last chance to ever get one down there. If we don’t rip 2020 proves it’s [Snip] again.

[Edited for profanity bypass]

I'm usually quite positive about houses but this one suffers from a few issues:

1. The Dwemer entrance is big, but not big enough to be a proper dwemer home. So you're left with an awkward decision of what to do with it.

2. There isn't enough solid ground around the lake to build mega structures on. Ice melts seasonally and it would be unrealistic folly to build on it anything more than some fishing huts.

3. The ice cave has no solid floor... again not really realistic to build on it and you hide the sunken dwarven ruin views.

Looking forward to the Alpine house more but don't know why they wouldn't just make that one 700 slots.

This one has purchased the frozen lake property as a little hideaway for Snowstorm Claws. She would purchase almost any plot of land on offer. The dwemer hallway though just does not belong. This one is still working out the best way to disguise it. Give the dwemer dwelling travellers a nice place of their own and in future please let plots be plots - no immovable buildings wanted or required.

I want to build Elsa’s ice palace. 🧊

When I saw the frozen lake I just immediately thought it was going to be the next great location for all crafting stations...

As for the dwarven house, there's the Frostvault Chasm in Eastmarch. That's where I stash my dwarven furniture.

Gythral

Took one look at the lake and saw hundreds of sinking crafting stations come spring ...

Hey, I'm optimistic like that Nord in Coldharbour who took some snow in his pocket to remind him of home :-)

Considering that Markarth is the next update, I see the dwarven home being a thing.

Claws Snowy Village is gradually taking shape. This one today found the small patch of fresh water and has set up fishing cages accordingly.

You know it does have potential in the right eyes - Fishmas grotto, outdoor theatre etc. Just that dwemer hallway, which would be wonderful as a small house by itself, feels so wrong. This one just wishes she could separate them!

Well a few finishing touches still needed here and there - but Claws Snowy Village is mostly open for business.

If you wish to trade in logs or fish then there is no question over your destination!

See you soon
