Just got dawnstar lot... : V - Skyrim

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:27 am

I know, I know. The only thing that is getting my jimmies in a bunch is that Whiterun is literally just down the road at a walking distance. Where my other house is. Just seems like a waste to build only a few miles north of Whiterun.

And as you said, it's basically false advertising. I don't mean that in the sense that Bethesda purposefully mislead us (that's ridiculous), but I mean it's like saying there's a house available in the Reach and then putting it just outside Rorikstead.
They should have sense enough to know that when people hear "the Reach" they think about rocky canyons, just like they should have sense enough to know that when they say "the Pale," people think of miles of snow. They should also have sense enough to know that having a carriage that far north would be THE MOST USEFUL THING EVER.

Then they build it right next to that farm where Cicero's at....

Just got the morthal one, best location out of the three, I can't belive I wasted gold on the dawnstar lot

Y u no share pics. I don't have hearthfire yet.

Y u no share pics. I don't have hearthfire yet.

Watch the vid I linked up above. The guy literally just runs through and previews the lot locations.

And as I said, they're kinda weird. Falkreath's and Dawnstar's are right next to enemies. Morthal looks to be the best, without question. Ironic, considering it's a damned swamp.

LMAO - the Falkreath house is named Lakeview Manor?? That's hilarious to me as my mom works for a nursing home that is called Lakeview Manor.

So is Falkreath or Morthal the best?

I still have yet to buy Hearthfire either. Need me some microsoft points.

But anyway, I just want snow. There is literally plenty of open spots that I have come across in the actual Pale itself, perfect spots. I just want plains full of snow, which is something I expect from reading "build houses in the Pale". I will just wait and see if I can settle with the location when I get Hearthfire. If not, I guess I will be stuck living in the ugly marshes in Hjaalmarch. :dry:

Another thing that's odd is there's plenty of spots devoid of any attackers or the like, ESPECIALLY in the Pale. But no, they stick the Dawnstar house next to two giant camps.

Can't wait to meet the new neighbors, and have them launch me into orbit. Aren't Giants also one of the enemies that attack your house? Well, don't I just feel safe. :nope:

Your right Morthal does look the best. Falkreath looks decent enough though. And why is the dawnstar one located next to a giant camp? Whatever it's only five bucks -_-

Do Falkreath and Morthal get a lot of attacks? I am about to buy plot and i dont know what to get. I want the one with the least amount of attacks.

I think all of them get the same amount of attacks, but still, living next to an evil conjurer or giant camp isn't something I would recommend.

I took a look at that video and the plot in Hjaalmarch isn't as bad as I though, probably the best looking one. It has snow and the marsh isn't so bad either. Falkreath one is okay as well. I'll just try to adapt to the plot in Whiteru- I mean the Pale. If not, well, to Hjaalmarch it is.

Does it have more snow? :ahhh:

Yes, it snows more than the dawnstar lot, it's right next to high gate ruins, In fact It was snowing when I got there

I think he means that it's as far down south towards Whiterun as possible while still -TECHNICALLY- being in the Pale.
Personally when I saw the carriage system, I'd hoped it meant that we now basically had a two-way carriage system to Falkreath, Morthal and Dawnstar now, where instead of only being able to go from Whiterun to Morthal but not Morthal to Whiterun, we effectively could go both ways.

The problem is the Dawnstar home literally looks more like it's in Whiterun hold. They put it incredibly far down south, so no, that ruins the two-way travel system for Dawnstar entirely.

Take the boat.

i got the pale lot and i love it...awesome place.

Awesome name, but that's about it, I wish I could swap the names of the the dawnstar and morthal house names, I don't understand why you can't just name the house yourself?

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:34 pm

I really wanted to name my house, Phillip. :sadvaultboy:

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:53 am

I WANT my house near enemies, so I can get the rested bonus and get better exp fighting and using combat skills.

What's Falkreath's next to?

So there aren't any houses located in really snowy areas ? I'm seriously considering wether to purchase this now. Why didn't we get a plot in Winterhold as well. I agree with OP, just seen pictures of Dawnstar plot, very disappointing indeed.

The Falkreath home is near a snowy area...10 more feet and it would be in it. :bunny:

Right below the cliff the house is on, is some conjurer. A little too close for comfort.

Falkreath were next to a conjurer, The pale were next to a giant's camp. Who in the world came up with those land slots. It's like we got the rejects or something.

I know, I spent all of that $5 to get this crap?

Like, they didnt even add everything I wanted in this DLC. It's BS. I wanted them to add AK47s and Dwemer mansions, but no. what a waste of a DLC.

They should hire everyone one of us to design a DLC tailored to exactly what we want, because this is just dumb. I was expecting weredragons and playable stratego in this DLC, why didnt I get it!?!?!?

ohmahgerd, befersda!

I think you may have summed up every DLC complaint on this site.

At first the Dawnstar lot seemed to be the best to me, but reading this and you guys are starting to convince me about Morthal, which was third on my list. Falkreath is too far from everything, even though the spot is okay (just kill the conjurer, seriously). I do like the central location of Dawnstar though, and walking distance from Whiterun has advantages (merchants!). I'll look at the Morthal one again before deciding...

We're just so lucky that the one in Hjaalmarch isn't next to some Chaurus nest. Those marshes are full of them. :wacko:
