Alright, so there is no where to post ideas, but I really want to discuss housing.
Furniture crafting in my opinion should work very much like it did in Skyrim, components combine into furniture that you need to create across different skills, woodworking, smithing and clothier.
What I dont want to see is prefabricated layouts. I like to design and place things on my own. Heck, why not give us our own small plane? Shalidor created Eyevea, the magic exists for the creation of small planes. We could shape the way the sky looks, place some trees and plants, build in racial styles (new motif books for architecture!)
The sky could be done with color selected and a few slides for time of day and clouds. The water color and turbulence. The ground texture would be selected from a list such as desert, rocky, volcanic, mossy, plains, etc.
Housing wouldn't be created by a player but through a quest obtain an artifact that transports the player to a plane and gives them the power to shape it.
The ability to invest in resource nodes for your island, starting at flax or iron and then increasing in tier with a purchase or spending some kind of housing point.
~ anyways, time for me to leave for work. More feedback and Ideas welcome!
