    Houses. Followed very closely with in-lore arena's. And the everything else.
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    This was a really tough question to answer. I'm up for all of those things, but I have always been a huge fan of the Dark Brotherhood. I'm just hoping that they will give us the option to do the quest line at the veteran level difficulty :)

    I honesty do not get why playing housing in any game seems to popular? Where adventurers we wander the real im search of adventure! We dont settle down! even in Skyrim your house was just for your wife and children that you would leave for months at a time.

    And that people is the key to a successful marriage.

    I've spent more time in my houses than adventuring, to be honest.

    For some, it's that extra bit of immersion. With a house, your character actually LIVES there. Of course, if a player doesn't care about immersion and names their characters ixfvljes or 'IPwnNoobs', this is all lost on them.

    For others, it's about ownership. Sure, it's digital, but if you live in a big city or some crappy apartment, you don't always have the ability to make your home as you want it. The video game gives them that option. For rich kids and people who look like they belong on 'Packrats', this is usually a moot point.

    Some players are OCD, and must collect every trophy and piece of armor. But limited storage systems makes this impossible without also giving up the ability to play. Housing can help alleviate that. For players who skip looting things cause they just want to be max rank, this usually goes over their head.

    Finally, there's players who just think that a game that gives your character's a house, is offering that much more in character customization and detail. Digital barbies, like myself. If a player is fine with 'random' character gen and just puts on best-in-slot items no matter how they look, well, you get the idea.

    Sure, some just don't like housing. And some just love it. It's kinda one of those things that players just naturally polarize on. Seems a lot of players of Elder Scrolls games would want housing, though, since housing is a common feature in prior games.

    It's like making a game based on Star Wars, but they conveniently left out all mention of smuggling and spice. Not as iconic as Jedi's and Stormtroopers, but still integral to the series.

    Housing is a must.

    I'm sure I'm in a minority here, but I'd rather join the Morag Tong than the Dark Brotherhood. (Of course, the Morag Tong wouldn't make sense outside the EP, but I can dream, can't I? I also want to join the Tribunal Temple. Dream big.)

    Several of the other choices don't make sense, TBH.

    I would be happy if the game simply had Veteran Rank content that didn't just regurgitate the same thing you had done from 1-50 except without an interesting main quest. They should not have launched with veteran ranks. They should have left it 1-50 and then Craglorn should have been Vr1-2. They just screwed everything up and it leaves the end-game grind laborious and tiresome, especially considering every other quest and dungeon is bugged.

    If you don't like RP or RPG features in RolePlayingGames (Elder Scrolls Games are RPGs...) such as housing then that's your preference, I love housing and housing is what makes the elder scrolls games much more fun and enjoyable and really adds to the immersion.

    Just being able to collect books, place them on shelves, have my armor sitting on display, having extra storage, just the thought of having my own home in a MMO or Single player game...the little things like that matter to me, some people just like the pew pew pew but others love the RP in an RPG me being one of them and there are many others like me.

    MMORPGs are starting to catch up...housing is more popular than you think, hech even SWTOR is adding housing soon AND the giant called WoW is finally adding housing after so many years.

    It's ok to not like housing though, it's a good thing in most MMORPGs that have housing at the moment make them optional, people can play the game and never have to buy a house if they don't want too, that's the beauty of having options in video games.

    I played SWG from launch till it was closed. Was it that good of a game? No. Know what I miss most about it?

    My Mustafarian bunker that I stacked every inventory booster and had each armor type displayed in. Even had a little life-day ewok being eaten by a portable sarlaac disposal unit.

    Screw the game. I want my house back.

    I am not against having housing I just find it strange that people want them more than DB and TG. I would have guessed that people want more stuff to do , quests ,dungeons,skills, crafting and more reasons for exploration. Apparently they just want to chill in their homes. :)

    I don't see why player housing couldn't work. Why not have a standard house set up in a specific location, and use phasing so that when you enter the house, you are entering your house that contains all of your things. We already know phasing separates you from others, so, why wouldn't it be able to be utilized in this manner?

    For me it is housing. At least guild houses.
    But it is visionary to expect that before the second aniversary and I still don't believe Zenimax, that I will come at all.
    There might be a lot of players who will switch to another game, that offers them housing.

    Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood won't come before the end of the year. Why? Because Paul said, that there will be the justice system first and that this won't be part of the first four updates. So that would be at least September for the justice system and november for the two missing guilds.

    I can't decide, I want them all!

    But knowing that most of them are already in development, I want housing to be prioritised after the release of Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild and PVE Arena.

    Venturing and questing can takes its toll. It would be nice to have some place to rest and share sweet rolls.

    My choice wasn't in there.

    Whatever expansion Zenimax is doing, because they doing a fantastic job, creating the game, fixing it, planning, and this week adding a new zone among other things.

    I think Zenimax has the perfect "speed" for when to implement new stuff.
    I enjoy this game way to much, hehe.

    Housing,

    I was very upset that they didn't include it already at release. The recent MMO´s all either shipped with housing or added it in some way or another, which shows the popular demand for such systems.

    In my opinion it should be on top priority right after the multi core threading issue.

    I think houseing was in the first of their ideas, but then...how to implement it? Difficulty? Zoning? Everyone could build a house everyone could see, or one zone where just your house is? What can be stored in the house? (Pretty much makes bank useless). Add tradeskills or like you suggested a while ago, add skills on tradeskills already to build things for your house?

    Not an easy thing to perfect. Sure, housing is cool, question is, how......
