In a sea of differently-styled mansions and vistas, houses big and small as far as the eye can see, I feel that one of ZOS' problems with the houses they've released is that most of them are very much the same, in the sense of "this is a house and it is in X locations". It's predictable and it works, but they have yet to introduce a house that I love enough to actually want to buy for my thief. I'd love my own underground thieves den where I can hoard my stash of goods.
It could be big, it could be small. It could be in the basement of another smaller house, it could be its own cove overlooking the sea. It could be anything, as long as it's not gigantic and 120 dollars. I think making nothing but those kinds of huge houses these days is a mistake, and with Elswyr coming soon, maybe they could tap into the thieving nature of the khajit and include something different to please those of us who want something other than another simple home.
"Hello, Skellington Pal! How are you today? Bone dry, you say? I’d offer you a glass of water, but it’d all fall through! I need more coffee."
