*out of character*
Haha oh dear. Just to appease the curious, I find it difficult to bring myself to kill an in-game deer. This is rp at it's most challenging and my first evil character I've played. From oblivion, fallout 3, nv and Skyrim, it's always good guys. Even when I'm a thief I'm more of a lovable rogue. Got bored, thought I'd try something different. Wow though, some of you think I'm being serious... now THAT'S worrying! I take it none of you kill animals in this game (or is this something you do in real life?) and I surely hope none of you are vampires or warewolves in reality. Scary stuff! I created this character mainly for dawnguard. After all, who else would choose to become a vampire lord other than a totally evil character? Anything other than a murderer makes no sense, rp-wise. And such a person (one who would choose to become a vl) would surely have no empathy and consider humans to be animals, rather than equals. Pretty sure I'm not the only person playing this game to roleplays.
*back in character*
Ah yes, the house of 'horrors', as you call it. I call it a playhouse, myself. That is the domain in which my great Lord spoke to me. To live in His domain would be to defile the sacred. No, there is something inviting about my guests coming for dinner, and explaining to them that the screams from the basemant are just the cries of a wounded fox (it is amazing how much of an animal one sounds with no tongue). The 'kindly' guests of mine who want to see the 'creature', to help it, I am perfectly happy to escort down to the cellar... it is messy, but far better than taking a life (and using their soul to enchant the axe that will kill their family) in my dining room. Mops and buckets are rare in Skyrim and cost a fortune!
It is important that my main home has hidden secrets. Intestesting to hear that it was previously possible to choose from multiple furnishings - it would be a nice feature to have.
heheh.. all in good fun. Your character would LOVE the Namirian Feast my sweet Freya Warchild held just last night.. Luring that sweet trusting priest to the dinner table, summoning a pair of wolves to rip him open as Namira's chosen ooo'd and ahh'd... The shreeks of horror at the sight of Glory before them as Hircine's Champion shed her frail human form and tore into them with fang and claw like so many rabbits. Mmm... that sweet sticky red heat wich needs no sauce nor garnish..
But yes I'd LOVE the option building small daedric shrines in the cellar. or mabey a single large statue. It's rather unfair that the only 'bust' to decorate my home is that of golden Dibella. Far more fitting would be statues of Nocturna and Azura, the ladies of luck and secrect lit soley by the fires of my forge were both bone and hearts blood are mingled with ebony into wonders not seen in an age or more.
