Thanks Grits! Furniture crafting will be fun, and some of those houses look pretty cool. Happy to hear that it will be in-game gold rather than crowns (which a lot of people thought might happen) and that it's account based rather than character based. Ciri can't wait to move in with Haa-Rei.

You pointed out everything that sounded great about it to me too!

I wasn't thrilled with what they did to the landscape in making the Stonefalls mansion outside Ebonheart, it was a gorgeous area on the fringes of Red Mountain but lush from all the nitrates in the air and had an Awesome fishing spot (which is gone now). What they did was make it an evil looking black castle and put an extension of the Red Mountain there instead of that gorgeous lush spot.

I'd rather buy the Ponderosa one up in Reapers March, that one is much smaller, but Awesome!

Yeah, I'll probably have to build up my woodworking skills to make decent furniture; or send Buffy orders for my wood furnishings, lol. But I am hugely excited over being able to craft it!

And like you = really glad the houses will be for game gold and not crowns! I have been deliberately saving crowns just in case.

Also love that all my girls can be in there too. I am hoping we can park them in there for the night like I have been doing with the bank, but don't want some glitch to cost me one of my characters like the day Coldharbour wouldn't load, lol.

I am very pleased that the houses will be an in-game gold thing. I would much rather purchase the DLC and play with it forever than be nickel-and-dimed to death in the Crown store. This was my biggest concern. Having your own dwelling (or in Jerric's case, someone else's dwelling) where you can go is going to be a huge shift in mindset for me. I could not be happier about what MF (lol) said.

Also awesome that dwellings will be account-wide. Playing house can be a game in itself. I wonder if making the furnishings will be its own new skill line.

Bold: Agreed 100%

I don't know, but I LOVE the idea of crafting the furniture! I think I'll have to raise my woodworking or live in stick chairs, though;

I don't know, but I hope they just use the already in place crafting skill lines so we don't have to shuffle skill points around just to make the furniture for our houses. (I'm out of skill points to gather, there are no more skyshards in my game except the two behind the Aldmeri gates in Cyrodiil.)

Crown Packs on sale today! No idea how long, but the discount is pretty hefty . . .

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, haute!!

Yes, thank you!

I stocked up and also got the adornment pack, then discovered that makeup is not an adornment. I suppose that like tattoos, the makeup is facial/body markings. So I will "need" to buy those packs when they hit the stores.

Yeah, the adornments are the tiaras or flowers, earrings, etc. The Facial markings is where you find the makeup.

That braided hairstyle with the beads is the one I've been watching for. I'm curious to see it in game. Also I love that Argonian feather style! Stays is going to try that on as soon as I log in on the 17th. He loves his purple feathers!

This is what I have been waiting for! Orsinium, here I come !!!! (on Monday)

Nice, I'm glad they put it on sale for the anniversary! I absolutely love Wrothgar. Maybe Jerric will finally get some motif chapters during the anniversary event. He admires the orcish styles.

Thanks, hazmick!

Stop mentioning bear mounts! I've having enough difficultly resisting already.

There's no modding, there's no modding, ...

Phew! that was close.
