Housing: Please give us modular building pieces

Ruj · June 19

I'd spend real money on an empty housing plot so I can build my own castle.

The game assets are almost all there:
The towers with interior staircases from Panterfang Chapel.
Every exterior piece used for Castle Skingrad (high walls, square towers with windows, etc) simply need interiors or double sides to make it a furniture building structure piece.

We have many alpine homes, but none of them are empty plots. We need alpine biome empty plot houses please.
I'd buy Forgemaster Falls, Antiquarian, Merryvine Estate, Pantherfang Chapel, etc if they had NO buildings. Give us the option to buy homes without the buildings and make all the empty plot homes 700 slots.

I haven't played ESO in months since I don't have anywhere to build and all the castle pieces I want to build with aren't available. It's such a missed opportunity to cater to players who love building.

ESO building right now is bare bones. We have very few building pieces that are part of the same style. Ask Zenimax employees to build a whole castle with interiors with the in-game pieces you provide players. Watch them struggle to figure out how to create round towers with interior stairs. How to make appropriate castle roofs. Ramparts.
If your employees struggle, players struggle.

Make ESO into a true building game. Right now, the only people who are building have to really think outside the box, and we are too limited in the simplest of things.

If this is being done on purpose so we buy homes instead of building our dream home, it's not working. People are simply not playing the game instead. That's the #1 thing I hear in every RP community now that I'm playing other MMOs. That they would play ESO if building (cottages, cabins, castles, etc ) was streamlined, easier, and had all the appropriate pieces.

Can't disagree.

I have made modular pieces for video games for players to build one off creations. Its often what draws me back to No Man's Sky or Valheim or Enshrouded or any other game you can build in.

The amount of cobbling players do in ESO to create homes from the foundation is insane. Having actual pieces to build with would actually lower the amount of "furnishings" we need to create a home.

100% agree to this. I want walls, floors, doorways, windows, roofs and tons more.

If they create a base model for all parts they only need to change the texture later on.

But looking at No Mans Sky, there are still problems with having parts like this.
Missing pieces, things that wont fit, alignment problems and other fun things.
So it's not just to add 3D parts into the game..
But I still want it

But they could also just sell whole homes if they want to go that route.

Tbh I would buy a whole house building. There's already two (albeit small ones) in the druid hut and the dawnwood hut, but a step in the right direction to giving us more home buildings.

Yes! Please!
This would be a lot of fun.
