I just started my first playthrough of Skyrim this month. I'm bad at following story/progression and basically freely wandered around and ended up in Solitude as my first 'city'. Came to like it a lot (Having tons of water nearby for my Argonian is a plus). Had been getting curious about houses since Proudspire is here and, of the handful of videos I've watched on houses, you by far were my favorite. Pacing was nice, good mic quality, showcased everything well, and it isn't unnecessarily long. 10mins was a perfect length for the houses instead of some that were like 30+ imo.

A big negative to Severin manor is that your family can't live there. While a positive to honeyside is the equipable fork and knife.

Just a friendly feedback: you should "sync" the video with the commentary. If you're talking about the mannequins of the second floor, we shouldn't still be looking at the alchemy table in the first floor. You will probably need to have a few cuts in the footage, but if the transactions are done well, it won't detract your cinematic style of video. Great video nevertheless :)

Vlindrel Hall is my favorite. From the first time I walked in. Loved it immediately. My least favorite is Severin Manor. Not having to spend money on furnishings was nice, but it's too poorly lit. I didn't like that. The problem with Hjerim is it's creepy as fuck living in a house that you know was the scene of multiple brutal murders, and you have to play through a bunch of the civil war storyline to get it, which is just...ugh. But the house itself is indeed baller.

[@thedenmen4176]

Yeah for me I could look past all that just from how the inside of the house is

[@LightDragonite]

@@thedenmen4176 I understand but to me it is a turn-off. It doesn't matter how wonderful the house is inside. The fact that you know what happened in that house kind of is a factor. If someone was selling these house like a realtor, the minute that they mention the murders, many buyers would turn it down unless you like that a murder squatted in the house you are about to buy. Now, if nothing happened to the house, it would probably be a big seller. But with the fact there was someone doing murders in the house would probably cause it be unsold for a long time. The house is awesome though and you did a good job describing how great it is. Plus a secret room is awesome. The only other place with a secret room is in the inn where Delphine resides.

[@allanwong3447]

Proudspire Manor hands down. Perfect place to settle a family. Think about my retired life as the Dragonborn and an adventurer: my son joins the legion and becomes a hero of the empire, my daughter goes to the bards’ college pursuing her dreams, my wife goes to Radiant Raiment and haggles with the elven sisters everyday, Jordis Sword maiden becomes the sword maid, and me, I go the blue palace everyday just to have pointless squabbles with Erikur, so I can get my pay checks as a thane. In the evening I go the Winking Skeever, order some roasted lamb leg, then hangover with 3 bottles of Surilie wine. When my wife finds out that I’m drunk and causing troubles, she asks one or two Solitude guards to help her dragging me back home. Then that’s a day when I gets old in Skyrim. Breeze home is probably just a secret place for me to date Ysolda and Lydia, probably Serana too. The underground bunker in Raven Rock is just for Black Book reading party. The Markarth house? Nah I never triggered the Cidhna mine quest. Every time I go to Markarth I kill all the guards. Plus stone bed isn’t my thing. Riften house? Better not store any item there, or you’ll find it for sale at one of the merchants in Ragged Flagon. Windhelm house? Probably consider it in my next if not next after next necromancer playthrough.

I really love the hearthfire houses due to their customization options, plus you can easily just make 1 of everything so that each house has it's own value, especially if you add cooking mods for the kitchen. My second favorite house and the first mentioned in the video is Breezehome. People often forget there is a complete fully workable forge right outside, the option to have an alchemy lab in the back room, and fairly easy access to an enchanter up in dragons reach and multiple shops. Not perfect, but a very nice blend of skilling options

Just an FYI, those “ unusable” rooms in honeyside and proudspire are the housecarl’s rooms. You would think that poor Jordis would have a bed that is at least off the floor, like the other four housecarls have, considering how much proudspire costs...and I like Hjerim house, too, but you have to pick sides in the war and get past destroying Whiterun before Olfric offers the house to buy.

Honeyside is one of the best homes. It has direct access to the outside world, and its compactness is a benefit. You want to move quickly between your storage and your stations not be running in-between rooms or between floors. It's not like you're going to be sitting around for 2 or 3 hours in your home just taking in the view. You drop some stuff off, do a few enhancements / alchemy things, maybe rest and then you're out of there.

I love the Hearthfire houses. There's just something fun about fiddling with it between quests while dropping off gear. I enjoy the Greenhouse add on to the house especially. As someone who always dabbles in Alchemy it is a great spinning point for bees, butterflies, glow bugs and Luna moths which all spawn near plants. It's also very pretty once you plant the right items. The Trophy room is also cool. I love having towering statues of bears, wolves and Sprigins. The basement is also convenient because you conveniently get shrines for all 9 gods in case you want the added bonus of one of their blessings. Plus free horse. I actually killed all the horses one play through accidentally and was saved by the horse after buying it from my steward.

As an alchemist I definitely need a chest for all my ingredients, and usually an extra storage for excess potions that I intend to sell.

[@Trephining]

I just got Honeyside recently, and I use one of the barrels at the top of hte basement steps for my alchemy ingredients. Then the tall wardrobe to the right of the bed is where I put all my hundreds of extra potions that I can't even begin to use or sell.

[@skyrimdude86]

Proudspire manor has always been my favorite

[@vineousvondrake2456]

Helpful lil tip when buying any of the houses make sure that you are close to something that you can store stuff in once you buy quickly exit and store all your gold if you're fast enough you can get the house for free you'll only have to pay for the decorations works for homesteads too

[@shiftyshady25]

Honeyside is my fav. Also the basement room is for your housecarl Iola when you are thane of the rift

[@JillWouters]

I prefer the selfbuild houses. At least they have a smithy like the one in Solsteim.

[@20tetsuo77]

The extra room in honeyside I’m pretty sure is reserved for Iona, I’m not sure why it isn’t furnished in your game.

[@AS34N]

[@thedenmen4176]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I appreciate it very much!

[@thevikingmusketeer9696]

Something i really wished honeyside had, is an escape route to the Ratway like Mercer has in Riftweald Manor

[@grantmartinez6972]

The falkreath home is the best imo, especially with that garden. Makes getting 100 alchemy super ez

[@thedenmen4176]

Great home, really enjoyable for a lot of playthroughs!

[@sudafederall6179]

My favorite is the Lakeside Manor location I love that area for it's stunning visuals when you add a few graphics mods.

[@AbG-pk4ti]

the house in solstheim in my opinion is the best. it has everything.

[@windhelmguard5295]

i would put honeyside up WAY higher on the list because, with the other houses, you have to leave your house and then the city to get places, you can leave riften straight from honeyside, you also get the garden outside the house, which is also unique to honeyside.

[@thomaslheureux3846]

Honey side is functionally the best outside the DLC. Enchanting and alchemy tables and right next to the Smith.

[@haryosoo]

But no smelting station, in case you need to smelt some ores (Shor's Town os Stone CMIIW is the closest place to do so).

[@ariana6006]

Solitude and Whiterun will always be my favourite. The sunlight that shines through gives the nice sunny day vibes I love. Lots of the other houses have no windows or very little and that bothered me a lot.

[@thedenmen4176]

I enjoy all of houses in their own way, but for me the ones I put above Breezehome and Proudspire have a great theme behind them.

[@greencreekranch]

May be an unpopular opinion, but i dislike large video game houses. For me i always end up going to the same two rooms, so i never start to feel at home in most of them. This is especially true for skyrim, where you don't have see through Windows, so because of long hallways and stuff feel tighter to me, than the small ones with just two or three rooms

[@flabbergasted6231]

My favorite house will always be Severin Manor. My only issue with it is you can't have a family there. If you marry one of the very few options on solsthiem you can have them live there but you can't have kids there. Which honestly feels like such a missed opportunity since Raven rock is such a cute and homey town to live in. I honestly love Solsthiem.

[@thedenmen4176]

I agree I really enjoy Severin Manor as a home, but I think they can still fix a little bit of it to make it even better

[@krispynuggets8069]

is no one gonna talk about how hjerim was the butchers hideout and the secret room had a altar with body parts in it?😂😂

[@owoberon4947]

@@someguy2594 I can't believe you have to pay for the steward to get the mess cleaned up. Like it's your fault for not fixing this correctly

[@auntvivienne8669]

Severin Manor is by far my favourite home. It’s super cozy, and it feels really good to get it as a reward. The dunmer people are culturally... unwelcoming, I guess, so it really gives me the warm and fuzzies to be welcomed in Raven Rock like this. The only problem I have with it is that my family can’t live there. There are two marriage candidates already living on Solstheim who can move in with you there, but that’s it.

[@ThatguyyBri]

Honeyside got done dirty

[@canisjay]

Vilindrel Hall is my most remarkable house. It was the first house i bought by myself (not seeing any guides or videos) and the one I remember the most when thinking about my good old days playing Skyrim. Nowdays I rather build Falkreath Manor or buy Hjarim, but VH will always be my characther 'headcanon' house in Skyrim.

[@dartagnanleonard4962]

Thanks for the list! I'm gonna sub Edit: my favorite house is in markarth it just looks cool.

[@thedenmen4176]

Yeah I really like the aesthetic of it

[@TheMissileHappy]

I love Honeyside :D I always like to use it for my thief characters and it has a nice balcony to the outside of Rifton.

[@kylehearnsberger9883]

My favorite house is the house in Solitude. It’s got good space in it, and it’s in the home base of the Imperials of Solitude led by General Tullius and Legate Rikka. ❤️ Love that area.

[@kylehearnsberger9883]

Even though that said house is freakin expensive !!!!!!

[@Pit2708]

You just wrote everything. totally agree

[@TheRealRedAce]

I believe the spare rooms in Proudspire and Honeyside were originally meant to be rooms for the housecarls, but for some reason fail to decorate as such. All the other houses have rooms for the housecarl that furnish when you upgrade.

[@andrewmccarty8563]

Keep up the great videos!

[@F.S92]

My mind says Windhelm. My heart says Breezehome.

[@thedenmen4176]

Both great homes!

[@natemitten5787]

Breezehome is my favorite. It just has that cozy feeling to me

[@thedenmen4176]

I agree Breezehome is a very cozy home

[@darrennew8211]

The empty room in Riften is where your house carl sleeps, if you go back to the Jarl and tell her you bought the house.

[@TaurusTrio]

Breeze home is still my favourite partly due to the fact it is the cheapest to buy, it was the first home I got, it is in Whiterun which is my favourite and it is located near enough in the middle of the map so is more easily accessible. As for the Hearthfire lots the Hiljamarch one is my favourite because it is close to Whiterun.

[@thedenmen4176]

The view from Heljarchen is next to none in my opinion

[@MachetesAreFun]

@@thedenmen4176 That's my favorite homestead in terms of location, but I am liking winstead manor or whatever it's called more overall with my current character. I don't have to deal with giants showing up and killing my cow and chickens lol. Also the fish enclosure is helpful for alchemy.

[@christiestephen1312]

I like Proud Spire because it feels the most light and airy

[@meepyricky6820]

when i got my markarth house. I thought they had stone beds

[@smooth395]

My favorite home is Proudspire Manor with a mod that makes it so much better (more armor and weapon displays among other improvements) and allows for 6 children with the multiple adoption mod. Solitude is my favorite city so of course Proudspire has to be my main home. I feel it's important to have the children in a good city with other nice children.

[@thedenmen4176]

I'm glad there's a mod out there that upgrades Proudspire, still a very good home but needs more within it

[@jakewalker5522]

You sound like mordecai from regular show.

[@a_reelskitface]

[@dimitriusvoldun8031]

I've never even acquired a house in Windhelm. I'm gonna have to make sure I do that. I agree that it looks fantabulous!

[@thedenmen4176]

Definitely one of the best houses in Skyrim, highly recommend it!

[@dartagnanleonard4962]

I use honeysides basment room that has nothing as a storage for all my gems and gold I just drop it on the ground lol

[@thedenmen4176]

That's one way to do it lol

[@gamergunn7139]

On this list, I prefer the house on Solstheim the most cuz it doesn't require further upgrades, and Proudspire is a good second. Personally though my favorite home is Heljarchen Hall cuz it's centrally located and has the ability to have all sorts of attachments that you can get elsewhere, but it's easier at it. Most times though I have my family living at the Falkreath home.

[@thedenmen4176]

I agree, severin manor is a really great home

[@andrewmccarty5994]

A daedric artifact ranking would be cool or something to do with the daedra

[@thedenmen4176]

I will continue to do these so no doubt get to that

[@SF91]

If you ever get tired living in one of your houses, check this place out: Harmugstahl, a nice small fort in the reach, near a dragon lair. Kill the wizard and his magical spiders first. Broken Oar grotto, a large pirate cave. There are several sunken boats and containers, the living quarter is made off of a ship's cabin. The Katariah. The ship that was used by The Emperor. These three locations are non-respawning places, meaning you can safely store your items in their containers. Just make sure you clear the place first and finish their related quests. There are many non respawning places in Skyrim, but these three are the only ones that come to mind.

[@thedenmen4176]

I never even thought of using them as player homes I gotta give it a try now

[@SF91]

@@thedenmen4176 yes, i've tried it once, but i got homesick 😂

[@haryosoo]

Ideally, Proudspire Manor should've been the "best" since it fits the "Skyrim nobleman's/richman's house". But because I'm roleplaying as a simple Dragonborn, Breezehome is my fav.

[@thedenmen4176]

I can see how different builds will affect which one you choose and Breezehome fits that simple lifestyle

[@Postpar]

I would almost put these in a very different order. Honeyside is my favorite followed up by breeze home, then proud spire, Hjerim, Vlindrel hall and Severin in last. The problem with the bigger houses is it takes longer to navigate them. Vlindrel would be great if you didn't need to hike up a mountain every time you want to go to it and Severin being in the dragonborn area just puts it too far away. there is also what is near by to take into account with all homes making the big ones ever worse since it is a jog to the stores while honey side and breeze home are right next to the markets.

[@Bobzilla_Returns]

Personally Heljarchen Hall is my favourite it’s location is really good as it is sort of in the middle of Skyrim so really wherever you are you are near enough to it to walk. Obviously you can fast travel to places but I like walking everywhere and that makes heljarchen hall a good location. I also like it cos u can modify it to your preferences.

[@thedenmen4176]

Really enjoy that house, the view from the plains of Whiterun is unmatched.

[@77Amnita]

My first house was Honeyside Manor, and for me, it's big enough, but not too big. Plus, I enjoy the private entrance into the house. It's my favorite one.

[@thedenmen4176]

Very good home, enjoy it as more of a vacation type living space.
