    In Shadowfoot Sanctum, there is a hidden room which you didn't show.. Right after you enter the living room, on the left is a cabinet. After you open the cabinet you will enter a room full of mannequins, alchemy table, enchantment table and lots of weaponsracks. Also if you are dedicated, there is a shelf for collecting all claws in the game.

    I like how bloodchill manner has a secondary option for the whole Quest. If you are already a vampire when you get the dinner invitation what's written on that note is completely a different instead of being invited to an actual dinner you are instead invited there to eat the guests. The fight is more or less the same the only difference being your fighting Dawnguard and not vampires.

    I wish they would add an ability to teleport between the homes you own, kind of like teleport between Propylon locations in Morrowind. Like, for every home you own, you're able to purchase/craft/get a small altar, that you then activate by placing, say, a great soul gem on it. You then are able to teleport between all the altars you've activated. This doesn't break anything, makes the remote locations homes more feasible, and makes getting new additional homes beneficial, as you're getting a new teleport location.

    • @mike-thegamingdad
      @mike-thegamingdad  Рік тому +5

      @@tomw4955 yeah there are 2 ways (I know of), the normal way is to use a weapon with the soul snare enchantment (the ones that say, if they die in x seconds, fills a soul gem), and carry empty soul gems with you, they fill up as you use that weapon. The second way I am pretty sure you can make black soul gems using the altar in Gallows Hall, after completing the dreams of the dead quest, but I've not actually revisited that place to try yet. If you use the former, then I recommend getting either Azura's Star/Black Star. It acts as a reusable grand/black soul gems you can continually refill and use over and over

    Just as a note, the Dead Man’s Dread home is a direct reference to a little known (nowadays anyway) Elder Scrolls game, Redguard, which is a completely different game to any other TES game, more like Prince of Persia than an RPG. Cyrus is the playable character in that game, and his outfit that you loot is the exact same he wears throughout the game. TES Redguard ends with Cyrus setting off to explore Tamriel from the island of Stros M’kai, meaning he had a very unfortunate end in Skyrim lmao

      Before Elder Scrolls Online came out, Redguard was also unique in that it was a prequel to the other games. It took place while Tiber Septim was still attempting to unite (aka conquer) the various nations of Tamriel, whereas the others all take place during or after Septim's reign as Emperor.

    One of my favorites is Goldenhills. You select a follower to run the farm and complete some easy build quests. After that you can return daily to collect the farms earnings and the harvested crops. Nice for early on when money is tight. For me it's not an ideal home though. Storage space is very limited in my opinion. Absolutely fantastic video. Keep doing what you're doing.

    Golden hills is great when you complete a farmers life, you hire a steward to run the farm and then can go hire two of four "drunkards" to help, you check back in with the steward for the profits and he stores the excess in the cupboard downstairs. I go back every few quests and get ~5000 gold every time, it automatically farms your crops too so you don't have to wrestle with the plant/harvest hitbox overlap. Definitely worth it just to have as a side gig in the game for steady income outside marriage.

      Exactly plus I thought Goldenhills a great place to leave the wife and 2 kids, you know fresh country air. Comes with 2 farmhands and a steward Lydia or maybe I asked her, can't remember. I married Ysolda who has a shop. After you plant all the crops and get animals, the farm and Ysolda bring in good coin without me doing anything except to ask for it. Good perk eh. Plus Ysolda has an agreeable tone of voice calls me 'my love' and likes whatever. I like the workplaces have easy access. It's pretty rustic however and a dragon visits every few days, sometimes Lydia kills it without me being there and it clutters up the front yard for awhile.

    not sure if you knew this but didn't mention it.. but the goldenhills farm has more to it.. it has a bit more quest and building to add all the crafting stations that aren't already inside, plus animals, farmhands and a little house for them, a couple beehives. plus you can actually harvest all the plants AND go inside and collect what your helper already harvested, meaning you get double output of all your plants, i think they also grow faster, so you can harvest more often as well.
    if it had a hatchery for fish it'd certainly be my vote for best house for crafting... but even without that, it still would be for a alchemist or maybe cook.

Even though I rarely play thieves, I usually buy Shadowfoot, justifying it as a bolt hole in case I need to go to ground. The Dwemer home is TOO big and seriously remote if you're playing without fast travel. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the comprehensive review. I do have one note. Shadowfoot Sanctum is available even if you do not join the thieves guild. You can enter the Ratway at any time and Vekel can sell you the home. Most do not realize this because they join the guild first. But, being an Eagle Scout, I never join the thieves Guild. I just ignore Brynjolf.

Someone did an upgrade to the mod so you can give it the Hearthfire touch and build the lodge from scratch. They made some changes to give it a different look, I need to try it out and see if I like it over the original mod.

    This has made me incredibly happy and I’m beyond amazed with how much detail Bethesda puts into their games.
    Skyrim was always a fond fave of mine, so to have new life breathed into it makes me go crazy for it all over again! - even though I’ve barely finished the og quests :’)
    And after 11 years, someone only just maxed out all the skills which is nuts!

      No problem at all glad you enjoyed it 😁. If you are a long time player of Skyrim and have owned it more than a couple of years, have you purchased the anniversary edition upgrade? These homes are all new additions in that version. It's not a lot to upgrade it, think I paid about £15 for it last year. Once downloaded and installed you'll have the homes and a load of other new stuff. Just wanted to mention that in case you don't as I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "this isn't in my game", and it's all due to them owning an older version.

    When I bought Shadowfoot Sanctum I was like "wtf, no enchanter, no alchemy table?". So I started looking more closely and, of course, there is a secret room that you apparently missed on your first visit. The local minimap reveals where the "missing" room is - one just has to find how to get there. The secret entrance is nice - when you fast-travel to the Riften Docks you can hop into the water and enter your home this way - quite fast. Only downside is that is has no garden to grow stuff.

    This was really helpful. The only house I hadn't discovered, because I wanted to be surprised, was the dwemer home. I think they're all great, but my experience with the enemy spawn/despawning issue made me take a pass. The only exception is Shadowfoot Sanctum because it's inside Riften. I had a warrior character that moved into Hendraheim. I got attacked by a dragon. The bones lay on the property forever. As did a second dragon corpse. They then followed me to drop in the middle of Whiterun. I scrapped the playthrough. I had something similar happen at Myrwatch. The Dawnguard will spawn inside Bloodchill manor as well, which is different from the Hearthfire homes. So they are temporary homes until I start the main quest line.

    • @mike-thegamingdad

    We really needed a co-op mode in this game. It makes decorating the homes quite pointless. They also could have expanded on the cooking and bars here. I remember in Monster Hunter we’d all gather at the bar before going out on a hunt, eat food that boosted our stat of choice and then head out on an adventure. We’re getting fairly close to owning our own store, with spouses, too. We should be able to go out, collect items and armour, then bring them back to sell them at our shop in town. Can have a spouse operate it, or hire an employee (where you then see the results of them working and earning money). I’ve been saying it since Morrowind.
    Hoping someone at Bethesda sees these comments one of these days and implements these things.

    Hendraheim has, unfortunately, an issue with some terrain modicifation mods as half the forge area and the garden can be below the ground, making the garden unusable. The smelter and forge are still uable but some of the containers in that area are not accessible on account of being "underground" as well. A very cool and statley home otherwise and one not prone to sudden bursts of Skyrim physics that sends half the objects in the room flying across the latter and ending up on the floor (looking at you, Myrwatch).

    I use Myrwatch, Goldenhills and Tundra home. I believe they are designed by Elianora but don’t quote me on that. I don’t have the anniversary edition because it costs E20 on Playstation and I already have most of the homes, armour, weapons, spells, factions etc that have been for sale on creation club as well as quite a few mods. Thanks for the thorough showcase, it helped me to decide not to spend an additional E20.

      Yeah that is true on the creator. No problem glad you found it useful. You do get a lot more with AE (quests, new armor, weapons etc) that wasn't previously on Creation Club but if you already own a good chunk of it I get that. I wouldn't buy it twice 😅

    Goldenhills is the best house in this game, since you can get a passive income from this location. I wish that more houses would have this kind of feature. For example id could be cool for Dead Man's Dread house if you could hire and then send out pirates to plunder other ships in the background like we could do in Oblivion.

    I personally like myrwatch the most because it has everything you need but I like that it's smaller so you don't have to take too much time to get around inside.

      Yeah its quite compact isn't it. Literally the opposite of that dwarven monolith 🤣

    I tell you what, man, it's straight up jarring to fall asleep with your VR headset on and wake up sitting in your Breezehome next to that crackling fire.

    I like homes with a library where you can put books on display, not hidden behind a door. So far the best I've seen is the Hearthfire library addition and a couple of housing mods people have created. It looks good when you have complete sets of books stored on your shelves lining a large main hall or something like that.

      Yeah I did that on my first playthrough with hearthfire, I ended up with all of them filled with unique titles and I tried to get them all in alphabetical order 🤣. It was a pain when I found a new book beginning with A, B, C etc and I had to move the entire collection 🤣

    The dwarves home is absolutely huge and dark. I ended up leaving most of my pets in that house.
    All the enemies that you have to fight before getting some of the anniversary houses, reset if you don't go back for a long time. So, you have to keep fighting them when you return to the home.

    Shadowfoot sanctum is by far the best home in the game. For blacksmith and enchanting, you can buy all the comps you need from the riften blacksmith and the mage vendor in the keep has a good supply of soul gems.
    There's also an alchemy vendor in riften.

    On shadowfoot sanctum you missed the hidden false door behind which are your crafting tables, a dozen or so manikins for your armor sets and everything else you need to collect. Jars, masks, swords and shields. Too bad you didn’t find it. Would have been a great addition to the piece. This is my go to house because if all the money making treasure associated with Riften, plus the two entrances. I can leave my horse on the docks, use my water walking boots and enter by the water entrance! Heads up!

      Thank you yeah a previous commentor had pointed this little secret room out as well 😅. I'm glad it does have this room as I was wondering why this one didn't have any mannequins and it was bugging me 🤣

    Shadowfoot Sanctum I was able to obtain without being a member of the thieves guild with my current play through. I am an assassin, not a thief. Still just go to the bartender, as you can speak to him for finding Esburn, and still able to purchase it in the process.

    Tundra Home is my fave. I use a mod to improve it so it adds a guest house. Whiterun region in general is my favourite in the game.

    • @mike-thegamingdad

      Same here it's the one that feels closest to the nordic theme for me..plus it's central location means it's easily accessible

    Thanks for posting this as im a returning player after years away and now in my retirement with gaming time to spare.
    I imagine a time when, due to Ai , interesting dialog, in various voices can include what ever you fancy in humor, poetry, music to actually carry on a conversation with mates, children, hunting and quest partners.
    I say this because I get so tired of the loop sentences currently offered by shop keepers, guards, inn owners. Otherwise its a big facinatinng beautiful world Bethesda has created for us.
    Thanks again✌️💚

    most of these locations leave very little to desire after imo, i mean some of them start with something kind of cool, but after it's done, well it's done and nothing amazing ever happens after in that location ever again, it's just a place to put all of your junk and to look pretty cool, because i'm on PC, i didn't like going to my house very often, so i downloaded mods like haven bag which allowed you a magical home that had all the resources you needed on the go, and it essentially teleported you to a small cell that you could either equip as a ring or use a power to get there.
    it was my favorite mods because it was very simple and very creative without needing to be some location on the map, all it needed was some kind of quest in order to get your hands on it and some cool lore story in how it might have been created by Shalidor or something like this tied into obtaining it.
    like maybe that quest that shalidor created within that arena location could be something he created based on his research of Oblivion as well as the wooden mask.
    that's how i would have written it i anyways, just to give it some kind of quest ad also the reward.
    the mod is quite simple, it's just a magic bag that the player can access anytime when they are out of conflict so it's not going to be used as a cheat during combat situations, but it's connivant because you don't really have to travel anywhere to use it, yes it does have a load door to get into the bag, but because the cell is so small and compact, it's a very short load screen and barely noticeable because of how quick it works.
    and the bag has everything you need within it, it has all the work benches and things you need.
    another cool mod is called power workstation, where you don't need to travel anywhere to use a work bench of any kind and you can just do everything without going anywhere and use it on the spot same restrictions on combat, but it's super connivant because it just works without other issues.
    it two needs some kind of quest or some lore behind it, but it is great in early game when the player isn't near anything else.
