Just how personalized can your house get?

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:04 am

In the trailer I couldn't help but notice that there was a room with mannequins in it, I cannot recall how many there were in the room but since you are building this house from scratch, do you think that you can have many more mannequins than any other house offers? Perhaps as many as you can fit in the room (8-10)? Is there limits as to how many of one item you can have in one house (like display cases, trophies)? If each room is preset for you when purchasing it (enchanting tower, etc) is there a limit as to how many of that tower you can have attached to the house?

i don't think you can have a set number, that would require big coding.


Dovahkiin: Can i have 6 mannequins, 2 weapon racks and 2 chests in here.
not going to happen in hearthfire.

Basically, nobody has any idea about anything not in the trailer/official website, until tomorrow. Everything else is pure speculation. I doubt though, we can have that many mannequins (I am hoping for at least four).

From what I hear and see it looks like they did pretty good with how much stuff you can have in your house.

I hope I have the option of placing individual items, all I want is a small house with the crafting stations and a few other misc things like a horse stable.

I don't want to have to dedicate a whole new room to enchanting, which is what the video suggests.

I'd also like a way of improving my horse, so it can take a hit or two. Shadowmere is perfect, except you have to be generic 'evil' to get her. Arvak just doesn't look right for 'good' characters.

I have been dreaming of personal home construction since Morrowind and its great that they have finally decided to come up with the Hearthfire DLC. However Skyrim still has alot of issues with proper item placement and the choice of items that can be interacted with in the environment. Customization of a personal home can only go so far if we can not place objects in our house that we have found on our travels. Putting items on shelves, cupboards, tables..etc is meticulous and time consuming. Hopefully Bethesda will do something about this before PC release date.

Well since your house is customizable i would say if you wanted nothing but mannequins in your living room you could add until you've run out of room. I would imagine each piece of 'furniture' has a predestined location... and you cannot just place it how you please.

As Ironbound said above me, I have high hopes that they somehow fixed this problem of placing something in a house, leaving, and finding it all over the floor when I come back. I know there is a workaround but it would be nice not having to do that.

Okay. Today's the big day! I don't have time to play around on Skyrim but I'm sure many of you will if not already have. Does anyone have an answer for my questions? Can I just put mannequins in every room? Is there a max amount of mannequins you can have in one house? And can you have more than one of the same structures added to you house (two enchanting towers)?
