Falkreath hall is a better guild house than this one

I was gonna get Pariahs Pinnacle - spent quite some time testing different ideas for it on the PTS. But ultimately decided not to. The place has it's share of small issues, like the uneven floors and overly huge stairs compared to the over all floor space. But it also offered ton of cool ideas, and building opportunities.

Was going to create a crystal cave in there, and to make the entrance of the main hall opening in the outside space more cavern like. Was going to build a path up to the top of the water fall and then build a large mediation and arcane experiments type of workshop there. (There is a rather large amount of space up there.)

But then two things happened... One was the fact that it became evident that it's a Crowns only place. I was still sortta tempted, and it would've given me a good new long term project and a reason to keep on playing. But 13k Crowns is way too much. Way, way too much. Maybe if there had been a crown sale on Black Friday...

However, the really big issue I have with the place, is that there really aren't that many furnishings one can use with it. I can decorate the interior, but anything I place in the outside area will stick out as a sore thumb, since they wont have snow on them. There are plenty of art assets in the game that would fit the snowy look of the place, - just walk around Orsinimum to see some of them. Most orc pieces have a frosted versions available, and there are iced over dwemer pieces in the game too. But there are not frosted pieces available for crafting. And that makes the place unappealing to me.

If it was available for gold, I might buy it as a really really long term project The kind were I would wait and hope for winter themed luxury items appearing for sale, so that I could eventually furnish the place with properly icy pieces of decor. But there is no way I am going to drop 13k crowns worth of real life currency to get a place that I might never be able to furnish properly.

It's actually not that bad tbh. I blocked off the main big chamber, because I figured with 3 halls leading off it, it would get hella draughty. So it's now a shared bedchamber. The corridor leading to the lower terrace is now a forge/armourcrafting area, while the other corridor (leading to the lake) is a food and drink storage/treasure area.

Where the broken pillars sit, you can join them up with planks or something else and make little sheltered cubby holes. Outside on the back terrace (overlooking the lake) I blocked off two of the exits and left just the middle one, to make a kitchen area inside one of them and a dining area in the other. On the terrace itself, I have some reachman and orcish tents set up for visiting traders.

With regards to not having enough snowy furniture, remember that things are only going to be snow covered if they're not in use. If it's something that gets used, it doesn't need to be a snowy version of that something to make it make sense in the setting. Snow-covered trees quickly dump their snow on the ground as soon as the load becomes too heavy, so it's perfectly normal to have regular looking fir and spruce type trees without snow on them, in a snowy setting. Homes in snowy places often have steep roofs so that the snow falls off them. Things you can easily carry, like buckets and so on, won't have snow on them because you'd knock the snow off before you use it.

I'll agree the floors are a bit of a problem, but only in the sense that they look untidy. If you really don't like them, you can get some of those giant rocks from (e.g.) coldharbour, flip them upside down and place them around the floor to even it out. A lot of the newer rock/boulder items are flat on one side, which makes it easier to use them for floor coverings. I haven't done that myself, I just used rugs and enjoy the geometric patterns that the middle squares make. I know the feet sink into the floor, but sometimes if you get a really, really nice rug your feet will do that anyway.

The uneven floor is stupid. Makes it very hard to place furniture and not have it tilted funny or have chairs be not usable.

It needs to be fixed!
