Got any Bastion videos or screenshots?

TheImperfect · August 2020

I'd love to see your decorated or partially decorated Bastion Sanguinaris. I'm sure it would help lots of players to see the possibilities with the home. I've been dabbling with homes for vampires on the PTS but unfortunately the Bastion wasn't available to play with yesterday. Below are the homes I furnished up.

I built a robust Louisiana/French Quarter style town (outside) and a opera house (inside). I’m on Xbox NA.

I’ll grab screenshots tomorrow.

Lol @TheValkyn that looks insane!

What a transformation! The balconies are so perfectly N'Orleans style, and the theatre is amazing! Great job

LadySilvie · August 2020

That doesn't even look like the same building lol that is so cool! Great work.

Thank you. I had a lot of things I wanted to do as well but I lost track of furnishings and ran out of space. 700/700. I'm on vacation at the moment so I plan to clean it up and consolidate. It's a process but we all know it.

TheImperfect · August 2020

@TheValkyn That looks amazing, a lot of work and very creative ideas! Thankyou for adding it.

I have noticed a lot of people have complaints about the layout but tend to forget that Bastion Sanguinarisis is a Vampire Castle, not a home for Mortals or even Werewolves for that matter so you need not waste furniture slots on things like a kitchen or even a bedroom for that matter, a coffin area is all they need, I think the Bastion is actually a Cathedral.

Anyway here is a pic of a room i am most proud of, here have my sleeping quarters in the Bastion Aerie, as it turns out the Elsweyr style fits well with the Vampiric Style, I used Elsweyr Stairs to make this room and placed my coffin at the top, there are two chandeliers in this room, one is above the coffin and another is in the center of the room out of camera, rather simple but it looks good.

@TX12001rwb17_ESO Thanks, you are right about not bothering with kitchens unless for illusory purposes to hide your vampiric nature to guests. I love what you did and would like to see more.

I originally posted because I was trying to decide which house to get. There was a lot of pros and cons to many houses. I ended up getting the Bastion in the end.
I am wanting to roleplay that my vampire nature is hidden to any mortal entering my home so any sign of vampirism has to be only on the upper levels of the house behind the fireplace. I wish that area was somewhat bigger for now.
Eventually it won't be a problem because I will save up and buy Daggerfall Overlook for her Breton day lifestyle where she can live as human with mortals and pretend to be human and then the Bastion can just be outright vampire right through.

The problem is the house is so obviously Vampiric that trying to hide your Vampiric nature from any guests would be laughable, it would be like you walking around in Blood Scion form and wearing a pair of sunglasses thinking they would fool anyone into thinking you were a regular person.

I believe the Daggerfall Overlook or the Ebonheart Chateau can get away with pretending a mortal lives here but not the Bastion Sanguinaris, be best to just not waste furniture slots there on things a Vampire would never need or use.

"Hello, fellow bretons! Nothing to see here, don't mind the horns. See my cool sunglasses? I can totally go out in the sun. Vampires definitely can't. Anything you've heard to the contrary is definitely false." xD

I put a little guest kitchen in my Bastion since I figure she may have visitors who aren't vampiric, and my vamp would treat her thralls well. Don't mind the creepy zombielike thrall in the corner, he isn't representative of that haha.

Sounds awesome tbh.

Well, I think that people can make any build work for themselves, so I don't think that mrsrobot's idea is all that impossible or outlandish. There's an example right in this thread in which Bastion looks like a perfectly normal theatre.

Well I figure she will just be taken for a rich eccentric Breton with odd taste for now.
