The doors absolutely make sense, but they should open and close without load screens; or be left open for flow of space.

ESO has released a lot of "Open Plot' homes (e.g. Earthtear Cavern, Moon-Sugar Meadow) that have no internal load screens and are relatively massive. So I am confused to why such small rooms in 'The Fair Winds' home, such as the Captain's Quarters, would be required.

I'm not sure it is done to save on system resources, as they are not independent little zones within a home. Usually its layers separated by a few hundred meters of vertical distance. I have fallen through the floor of many homes and can see the various areas dedicated for the 'rooms'. If its all one zone, why do we need these load screens anyway?

My biggest request for this home would be to not have the Captain's quarters behind a loading screen. There is glass windows and placed items can be seen on both sides, it would make the home feel much more natural if it was simply a normal door.

While I'm amazed by how good the house looks, the one thing that really could bring it together would be if you could change the masthead and the color of the sails. It feels too Covenant-themed. I know it's moored and in Galen and was likely made in High Isle, but I'd love for there to be the option to fly Dominion or Pact colors.

This is also interesting because the flavor text said you can sail it to Davon’s Watch/Daggerfall/Vulkhel Guard, unless I’m mistaken…?

So yea it’d be cool to theme it like that.

WOW, what a ship!!! Instant buy, no questions asked!!! (well, just a couple of questions...)

Love the 'see through' windows in the captain's quarters, ginormous immersion, really have the feeling that the ship is moving, but stable so you wont get motion sick. HOWEVER, the windows in the Crew's Quarters are not 'see through' windows or they are too dirty to look at anything. I think they are not 'see-through', anyway to change this?? This is the only drawback about the ship. Really love the steering wheel, you can chart your course to one of three destinations!!! Very cool, but please have a re-entry point so we can enter the ship from all three destinations.

I'm disappointed. There is no entrance overlook nest on a mast, no real surroundings and no even High Isle destination. It's a VERY stange ship that can go only in 3 ports

if you're referring to the crows nests you can in fact go to all three by interacting with the rope ladders at the sides of the ship

I'm a bit disappointed it is so Daggerfall Covenant themed, instead of being more neutral.

Sure, DC aren't the only ones that uses blue or lions as their symbol, but in ESO it's hard to look at something that is both blue and has a lion on it and don't think DC.

Heck, even if they just made the sails white instead of blue. It's easy enough to ignore the lion head on the front of the ship.

it's a daggerfall covenant ship because last year's dlc was breton themed.
the ship's model is used more than once in High isle.

Could you put Spare Pact/Dominion Ballista Figurehead furnishings on the Lion prow to cover it up? Not sure if that part of the ship could be furnished....

Biggest turn offs: loading screens, only one weather type (sunny), size (far too big), daggerfall theme and no rocking for distant views, makes it slightly less immersive.

Overall it's fantastic, but could have been perfect.

@ZOS_Kevin hoping for more weather types to be added, at least..

Can the ship (house) be "re-boarded" from the three ports of call? I've looked all over the maps and only see a way to enter the house (except for directly porting, of course) from Galen.

Initially, I was filled with regret about buying The Fair Winds. A huge issue for me was that the scenery in the distance is blurry, I've played about with the settings to no avail. Other things, (many already mentioned) disappointed me too, still, it's early days, I'm in no hurry to furnish it and will take my time. So far, I've used the Chronometer of the Tribunal to set the time to midnight, it looks beautiful at night, rather peaceful, with the sounds of creaking wood adding to the immersion of being on board a wooden hulled 'ship of the line'. I've added navigation lights port (red) and starboard (green) in the form of Hlaalu Salt lamps set to red and green. The gun deck, or rather Ballista deck, after a quick visit to Cyrodill furnishing vendor, is now equipped with a selection of (Covenent) Surplus Ballista, and Surplus Lightning Ballista at each gun port. The crew so far, Bastian at the helm, Ember navigating and Sharps prowling the Ballista deck. It's going to take a lot of time to furnish this vessel. and no doubt will prove challenging. Uniquely, this vessel will form part of the All Flags/Three Thrones Navy, being free to navigate all waters, regardless of faction. Ahoj!
Cheers!

I love it, beautiful ship. Big TES2 Daggerfall vibes (you can get a ship as a house in that game), so it was a no-brainer for me.

I wish that I could sail to/disembark in more locations. Wayrest would have been great. I don't know how viable that would have been to implement, though.

Overall, fantastic. Thanks so much.

However, one of my biggest turn offs from a home is internal loading screens (doors) as it completely breaks immersion and flow of the home.

This is good to know so I don't waste my time touring it, because multiple loading screens in a house is a major deal breaker for me. I've passed by houses I otherwise would have enjoyed because of this and hope they take this into consideration when designing new homes.

Exactly. They've given us doors, the tech is there, why not just put those, why does it HAVE to have a loading screen? I simply don't get it.

Background is blurry and a little bit of immersion breaking. I would be much more happy if we could change it or the ship was just in the middle of nowhere. So only water in background.

This is why I'm not buying it though I really wanted a ship house. The misty/blurry island and horizon view, and visible circle around the ship, ruins everything about it for me.
