Best Houses to Get in Oblivion Remastered
While all the houses have their charm, the ones that come with the DLC are often the best! They are free after completing quests and have some really cool features. Here are our favorites:
-
Frostcrag Spire (Wizard’s Tower): Perfect for mages! You can add a magical lab and enchant items to your heart’s content.
-
Deepscorn Hollow (Vile Lair): If you love the spooky gothic vibe, this lair is for you. It comes with a Blood Fountain and dark minions!
-
Battlehorn Castle (Fighter’s Stronghold): This castle is ideal for knights and warriors. It has grand halls, a forge for weapon repairs, and even servants to help.
- Dunbarrow Cove (Thieves Den): A pirate’s dream! This hideout lets you explore creepy ship compartments and hidden chambers.
How to Upgrade Your House
Most houses come empty, so you’ll need to fill them with furniture and decorations! Here’s how to upgrade:
- Visit different vendors around the game to buy furnishings.
- Note that Benirus Manor has a special quest called “Where Spirits Have Lease” to make it livable, instead of regular upgrades.
