From the outside, they look like they'll have interesting-to-decorate smaller rooms, a staircase, some landings, etc. Then once in you're inside, they're just big boring rooms! Meh. My crowns are safe.

But I think they both look nice from the outside, and I can't wait to see what people do with the grounds.

I don't like the Imperial one, it's kind of boring imo(to each their own though), but they really dropped the ball on the Nord one's interior. I understand it's the dungeon boss room but c'mon...was it really so hard to copy Fallowstone Hall in Rift(also used in first TG quest and I believe a few other places)? It has (pretty much) the same outside and absolutely gorgeous insides including a few small cozy rooms, gorgeous second floor with wall-size window pretty much, a nice cozy hall etc...who the heck thought that people wanna pay 4 million gold for a house with ONE ROOM?>.<

I'm sure it makes for an interesting boss fight in a limited space, but this is not the recipe for a good house. Disappointment at its finest.

The Hakkvild's High Hall is a joke. I entered the "house", looked at the price(3m gold) and then proceeded to laugh my butt off.

Well, if I had to choose just between the two, I would pick Hakkvild's High Hall. I love the privacy and view.

None of the above

Definitely waiting for that Surreal estate.

The put that Colovian Manor up on that cliff I'd been trying to climb to get out of bounds this entire time. xD

They really should let us buy the Imperial manor in game with gold tbh, and price it at 10m instead cause it looks like all 3 manors combined.

I agree. It is very disappointing that this is not an option. Not only will I not pay cash for the house, the fact it is unavailable for gold makes it less likely I will buy Zenimax products in the future.

Disgusting that ZOS prioritise pumping out houses for Crowns, but I can live with it, it's business no less. However past Crown Store houses were at least original and therefore production time etc all contributing to its price tag.

Linchal Manor however disappoints me that it is CS only. They're just branding assets already in game and slapping price tags on them, likewise with CS exclusive furnishings all whilst not even addressing the housing system as a whole:

- Item Slots are horrendous still no feedback on improving them
- The terrible restrictions on Collectibles (Let me build a damn zoo! Let me place ALL my in game achievements!) and visitors
- The absurdly designed housing editor that completely destroys any hope of decorating homes/guild halls together
- Storage

Heck just do the last two simultaneously make a storage like feature WITHIN the house itself where multiple people have access to withdraw and place items from said storage like how any guild bank would perform, but make it in editor only. Make it so the owner is the only one allowed to physically take the items out the editor as items, but allow those with permissions to decorate have full access with those banked items within the editor including Crown Store furnishings.

Then make it so those who 'put away' do so into storage and that those who are into housing do not have to store their furnishings into other houses.

If some things are not possible or would involve a lot of time investment then communicate with us let us know what's up with housing beyond pushing CS sales with the system by making in game furnishing recipes bloody impossible to find!

They are all very nice, but I like Hakkvild's High Hall the best. The house interior is neither here nor there for me, it's the surrounding courtyard that I love, Very Skyrim'ish. I would actually buy this from the crown store IF we had a decent increase in the number of furnishing items we could place. The current limit is just too frustrating. Even if the increase in housing space was a crown store item (like increased bank space), I would be happy and spend a good chunk of change for crowns to spend at the crown store (for Hakkvid's High Hall, furnishing space upgrade, furnishings ....).

I want both!

Hakkvild's High Hall is clearly meant to be a guild hall. Guilds that post pictures of their work tended to create two things. A crafting station mecca and test skelly/dueling coliseums. Hakk's is ready made to do both without having to build structures.

I, too, am underwhelmed by Hakkvild's. Huge multi-story structure, most of which is inaccessible "empty" space.

It does seem likely that it is intended purely as a guild resource. Can't see any value in it beyond that.

I, too, will be saving my crowns/gold/whatever.
