    Don't expect them to be affordable. I predict 5,000 Crowns each.

    3000 more likely if they will not have any special use (only aesthetic use).

    Why so, if Merchants or Bankers which you can actually use and have some purpose are 5K, it would be ridiculous that furniture ones cost the same.

    Than again... :#

    They were data-mined awhile ago.
    5,000 is far too conservative. Zos will milk it. 400 crown gems for each.
    Google "crown store guests" and it'll be the model viewer link:

    Houseguest: Drunk Alfiq Sereyne
    Houseguest: Nord Bar Maiden Keldora
    Houseguest: Nord Guard Jorn
    Houseguest: Khajiit Scholar Biro-dar
    Houseguest: Icereach Witch Sister Galenna
    Houseguest: Dunmer Acolyte Deras Arelas

    Can I have Sereyne walk on an path of empty bottles?
    Can Keldora remove all the empty bear cans next to my computer?

    I am eagerly awaiting this too. I was hoping that at least the first three from the PTS would be added to the store when Update 27 went live. I really want Biro-dar and Sereyne. If they are not stupidly expensive, I will probably get more. At least the barmaid.

    Life is short. If you have not made love recently, please, put down this book, and take care of that with all haste. Find a wanton lass or a frisky lad, or several, in whatever combination your wise loins direct, and do not under any circumstances play hard to get. Our struggle against the colossal forces of oppression can wait.
    Good. Welcome back.
    We Khajiit live and fight together, and our struggles will not end very soon, likely not in our lifetimes. In the time we have, we do not want our closest comrades to be dour, dull, colorless, sober, and virginal. If we did, we would have joined the Thalmor.
    Do not begrudge us our lewd jokes, our bawdy, drunken nights, our moonsugar. They are the pleasures often denied to us, and so we take our good humor very seriously.
    Outfit slots are disgustingly expensive.

    Lol this is actually a really good point - this huge new system for housing is introduced and people immediately assume they'll have to purchase everything from the crown store.

    I think you will be able to have your pets/mounts/assistants walk around too. But they're also introducing houseguest npcs that serve a certain purpose, e.g. there's a guard or a waitress. They also have dialogue options afaik.

    That is much better but they can't sell you alts.

    Also to be honest, it is a probably a bit to complicated to add to game that your alts load as NPC, only way that I can think of is that game loads empty Npc object that clones armour/motif and body data and then render it to NPC object.
    Meh, they will not do that :#

    I'd like to have a few guards for my mansion. But if every single one costs several thousand crowns (or even "just" 500), it probably will never happen. Also, I would like them to be locals and they should have fitting clothing. Which would be the next problem as you can't change their appearance.

    Other than that, I'd care more for known npcs from different quests. So far - no one interesting for me. But we'll see what the future brings. I'm sure they'll release more, if the house guest system is well-received generally.

    If there were nice one would be behind the daily login rewards, one behind a quest, one an event reward, one could be crafted, one in crown crates and then a few more for crowns (I would hope for 1,000 crowns for a purely cosmetic decoration but I guess I am dreaming).

    I rather have some general "guards" of various themes I can place several of, than single individuals like "Solitude Guard Jorn".

    Hope we will actually get generic npcs to place aswell.

    My feedback in the PTS thread was that these should be priced around the same as pets.

    That seems reasonable to me. Yes, they have a little bit of voice acting to cover costs for but they offer no actually utility and, beyond people whose homes double as a guild hall, they're not going to be seen by others all that often, unlike pets which follow me even into dungeons.

    If they cost any more than that then, meh, I might buy the barmaid as one of my homes is themed as a tavern, and the Sereyne one as she's one of my favourite characters in the game but that would be it if they do charge more for guests than pets.

    I'd much rather have a way of our other characters who are walking around so we can control the look completely. Like in GW1 you can purchase mercenary slots to turn your other characters into members of your party. Sort of stamping them onto a template so at that moment they look like your other characters at least and their names. I'd find that pretty cool and fun to play around with as opposed to some rando NPC. And what the hell goes on at ZOS that they find drunks so amusing?

    But I suspect pricing to really make this like a feature they never added. Typically they want to suck all the money up they can they also swallow the fun. Housing prices took my excitement the feature was coming and threw it out the window. Or making furniture so grindy. They really need to get in touch with what's fun because that whole company has been off of late.

    Definitively! I'm fine with them adding popular quest npcs like Sereyne as guests, but why would I care for some Jorn I never came across before? For "jobs" like guard, cook or maid generic and customizable npcs would make more sense. They wouldn't even need much dialogue.

    I'd love that too. A way to take a 'snapshot' copy of your character however they look at that time (armour, outfit, costume, whatever is showing when you copy them) and with any personalities they're using and then put that model into your house.

    Admittedly it would be a bit weird if you then went to the house on that character and there were two of them, but I'd say it's up to the player to decide if that's a problem or not. I know a lot of people have different houses for different characters, so one option is just to have the ones who don't 'live' there placed as if they're visitors.
