Beautify it? That just makes it another ethereal structure... what about the power of ugliness in art, that contrast can add something that all the gold and shinyness in the world of art can't add. Mossy walls, pot holes, cracks to the outside, eroded stone as if the magnificent structure simply 'rose' out of the depths of the sea one day and began floating in the sky for no apparent reason. Gives it character, adding the flaws n all. I'd make it more... detailed. Not in an fps lagging way, just to give it an archaeological story and a historical context somewhere somehow. Oh, but that's just me. :-) out with the new, in with the old!
That's why I left a Varla stone inside the castle. I figure if someone is creative enough to get in without one then they should be rewarded with full access to the home.
I love the view this home and it looks awesome floating there.
It does it's job as a place to store stuff but does seem rather smallish once inside.
But on a side note... 5 bottles of skooma, carrying no weight (expert heavy/light armor or nude!) and 100 athletics/speed/acrobatics = No Varla stone needed. ">
I checked that site already, and they are all great houses. However, I just don't like them enough to move over 150 hours of collecting everything EXCEPT weapons (except uniques, and arrows), armour (except uniques), and lower and middle class clothes and clutter...I probably should move though... "> Well, I should at least dowload them and look...but that means having to load up Oblivion, and I'm kind of mad at it right now...
I really had not considered a hovering home and even as I looked at the screenshots I was not terribly interested, but it grew on me. I just have to see it for myself now. It looks as if I can visit Imperial Furniture and fluff it out a little. I reserve my vote until I get a first hand look, but on the outside, looking in so to speak, I hope you did well in the competition. It seems to be a nicely done place.
Well what do you expect for one varla stone? Yeah, I balanced it to be nice but not oversized or give too much to the player. It's designed for a low to mid level player who's willing to make the trip all the way up into the Colovian Highlands for a home. I would consider this a mid-sized home with moderate storage and display space. If that doesn't suit you then you can try some of the other hovering homes recently released at http://oblivionsrealestate.com/index.htm. All are excellent homes and I'm certain some of them are large enough for what you need.
