...if they actually created a whole map where players could rent or buy grounds and build houses, I wouldn't mind. If they just create 1 tall building, where all the players in the game can access the same house and are just phased off the others, then I don't want it -.-

Nope nope nope nope nope. Towns become ghost towns over time. I prefer the approach they're apparently taking - some places in established cities, others on the outskirts. Keeps them vibrant and in the world - not shoved in a quiet corner somewhere.

As for the phasing, that was always going to be a thing. Even if it was a dedicated town map, there's just not enough room (or dev money) to ensure everyone gets their own unique plot.

1. Skyrim model is good, only open-ended, limited by your achievements, land and cash.
2. Multiple levels (low to high by expense and capabilities):
a. Rented room in town
b. Purchased home in town
c. Guild in town
d. Land grant in a province(available in any province of any alliance where you have completed the main story line). Can be purchased for a significant sum, or awarded if you finish a final optional main line story quest involving all three monarchs. Mandatory personnel provided.
e. Land grant in the wild (requires only finishing all 3 story lines and then lots of cash - starts with a home, evolves to a fort, then a town and possibly a city with major fortifications (note that significant personnel that must be paid and maintained are required, including civil engineers, architects, farmers, physicians teachers and armsmen and their families - all of which need to be fed and paid.
f. Secret lairs. Can be anywhere. Accessible via a unique respawn (e.g. in the city where you first appear) point and a key, which all of your characters possess, or via a normal gate/door (depending on size).
g. By exploring. You can get a charter from a alliance ruler (in which case you owe them allegiance and they provide 50% funding) or you can fund the whole thing yourself and owe the rulers nothing.
3. Your not in play characters can serve as administrators your residence, and one is required to be there if items are to be traded between there and the provinces. Likewise, if attacked in your absence (which can happen, either from local rivals, rival alliances, monsters, bandits or even internal revolts), they server as ultimate boss defenders, directing the defense and the defenders. If your current player character is there when such an event occurs, than they can lead the defense or you can switch to one of your other characters if you wish.
4. Economics are a vitally important component - site selection will determine the arability of the land (having a farmer in your employ, or having expertise with provisions or potions will also be helpful). Same for carpenters and forests, blacksmiths and miners for metals. If you received a royal charter, then you will have to pay 10% of gross income to the charter's underwriter, if in a province, than also 10% to the leader of that province and if in a city, 10% to the local government. If in the wild, you will have to pay for roads to your residence else expect income loss from spoilage, bandits and wild animal attacks.
5. The ability to dig tunnels, add secret doors and chambers and set traps would also be a nice touch.
6. If you are in the wild, and unless you choose the lair option, population growth will naturally occur (a good thing) as will the use of land and an increase of resources and facilities.
