I would get Tel Galen, but it has too many problems.

First of all, the interior layout is awkward, and difficult to arrange furnishings in comfortably.
Second, it's surprisingly small, given the size and cost.
Third, there's NO BALCONY. A universal feature of all the Telvanni towers in ES3 was that they had balconies.
Fourth, it's absurdly expensive. There's no way I would pay $150 for that.

where'd you pull that amount from? For $150 you can buy 21k crowns....tel galen costs 8k crowns

They must have changed the price. Last time I saw it, it was 15k crowns, which equates to roughly $150 Canadian.

I agree with this, too. Honestly, what I wish they would do is repurpose one or two of the houses in Sadrith Mora into small homes. You know, the ones off to the south side of the town, like where the Argonian you help out lives.

I'd love one of those IN Sadrith Mora, preferably one with an upstairs and a downstairs.

A balcony upstairs would be awesome too, as long as it opens into the actual game world, like Grymharth's Woe's "balcony" does.

No. It has been 8k crowns unfurnished since at least 2017.

That's a beautiful house but I bet it's expensive. Also I'm not crazy about the arid desert area.

Tal Galen has and always will look like globs of Flesh Antronach flesh. If it didn't look like that, I would get it.

Yes. YES. I went to look at it yesterday because I adore the idea of a mushroom house, but it does look like it's made of lumps of low resolution flesh. It's like everything in Dunmer Land has to be rough and unpleasant.

Then I went inside. More lumps of flesh present, and the walls trigger my trypophobia. Nope. NOPE.

I'll just have to build my own mushroom house.

I made a mushroom roof in my Exorcised Coven Cottage,did work out pretty good.
Not a full mushroom house but sort of.

Catch me sticking mushrooms on top of mine later to see how it looks. 🤔👍

Absolutely agreed. They talked about respecting the original source material and so gave us an update of Seyda Neen that is almost identical, that is sublime in its utterly pedestrian aesthetic that can be still be seen in half of Europe...

... but when confronted by something that was actually interesting, iconic and linked to its inhabitants, they decided that this was the time to get creative and change things.

No. Just no.

Sadrith Mora went from being a place that I loved in ME3 to being a place that, even though I own Tel Galen, I hardly visit because of the changes they made.

The Ald Velothi Harbor House and the Lake Amaya Lodge are both superior as they actually embody the design aesthetics of the Great Houses to which they are attributed.

I think Hew's Bane has the best looking landscape in the game.

Patiently waiting for Pariah's Pinnacle, please

Jode's Embrace

*If* I get one it would likely be Jode's Embrace. I love all things cat and Khajiit

Would make a nice training ground\dojo, has lots of possibilities.

Tel Galen has amazing views tho, would be perfect for my witch, now I'm torn LOL.

The first couple months I'd played I *thought* I wanted the Grand Psijic Villa. It looked so amazing on the outside.
But once I earned the Hall of the Lunar Champion, I kinda fell out of love with the Psijic Villa, so when it finally came back to the store earlier this year I toured it, then passed.
It looked nice on the outside, but inside it just felt incredibly huge, too huge and sterile. Kinda off-putting.

Anyway, that "If" answer is part *if* I can afford it (them?) and also *if* I reeeeally feel like taking on more homes.

I am STILL decorating HotLC but love the heck out of and I don't even have the 4th area unlocked, requires Sunspire completion iirc.
Also have the Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery which I have plans for but is largely storage atm.
I have a few of the starter flats to but mostly use them for fast travel jumps right now lol.
So while it seems like a lot to me I also know housing is a love of mine and it's becoming my endgame, so more is better right? haha

Like others have said it would be very nice if there were a crown sale around the same time, the prices always seem so steep.

You actually don't need Sunspire. Just need to complete Lair of Maarselok and Moongrave Fane on normal (or Vet, if you like hurting yourself, lol).

Ah cool, TY.
I'll prolly try to solo those two which on normal equates to me hurting myself anyway lol

It's possible to solo them but they are both very long specially Lair of Maarselok.
I would suggest to run them with guild mates.

I have to admit I'm tempted by Tel Galen. Yes, it's ugly on the outside, but I really like the inside. Problem is that even 8k is expensive if I don't really see much use for the house. I already have 3 others in the zone, and it's not located next to anything I'd like to visit regularly, so I can't even fool myself that it'll be useful for free teleports...

This. I want to like it. But 10k crowns??!??!!? Nope.

Is that for the furnished version? Unfurnished was only 8k.

Yeah, furnished version was 10k. Even 8k is too much. That's over $60. For a house.

I usually well... usually save crowns I buy on sales for houses.
As that requires a larger amount of crowns and I don't really want to spend so much gold as the exchange rates just are going up and up.
With discounted crowns I love buying houses.

PS: Please ZOS bring a crown sale soon ^^
