Hey hey guys!

Better later than never, you will find here the review of Tel Galen , the Notable Telvanni Tower, sold for limited time.
@Nicky_W and I waited for the release on the Live server before to make our Review, as last details are often changed from the PTS. Our first opinion didn't changed though from our first impression when we discovered the Tower few weeks ago.

Anyway, here is the video, with our detailed review: description, decorating possibilities and our opinion. Our relaxed commentary illustrated with view of the house, furnished and unfurnished at different time of the day. You can find the screenshot gallery and related article on our website if you are interested: here

    Well, i'm pretty much agree with you.

    My first impression when i saw the announcement with the picture was: "Wow, so nice, insta-buy"
    But then i take a look and its disappointing, specially the tower. Even without talking about window, its too small.
    There is no basement, and the floor is very very small.

    And idk but, a second floor would be so appreciated. I like the déco, but zenimax is not ambition this time.

    "Decorating challenge" is right! You guys were spot on: this is a "Buy it if you know you want it, otherwise skip it" sort of home.

    That said, the vertical building space is pretty good, and the views are gorgeous. I had a lot of fun building mushroom-and-plank walkways all the way to the top, where I have a skydeck. It helps make up for the dark, cramped interiors.

    The tower itself is never going to be "pretty," but I think it's a fun challenge to shoot for "imposing" or at least "interesting."
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    Like I said in the video, I'd have almost wished to purchase myself as my personal challenge home. I've quite some ideas for it, and I think the exterior volume of the house is quite interesting. I even think the house is relatively cheap. But in all honesty I can't justify the money for a mere "curiosity" so I'm just going to skip it.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    For those still considering purchasing it, your time is almost up.

    Some of my comments were in jest, but I find the textures on this home are left wanting.
