So I haven't bought a plot of land yet because I've been hoping location pics would show up on the internet fairly quickly, but from those of you who have custom houses now which do you think is the best location (view, distance to nearest market, etc)?
I really like the Breezeway Home, even if its kinda small, because its centrally located and has a good amount of merchants nearby to include 3 smithing vendors! I'd like a bigger home where I can do all my crafting in house instead of running around town but I'm seeing things like 'this home has an alchemist tower, this one an enchanting tower', can you not have all the crafting tables in one house? I don't care for adopting kids at this time, or a wife for that matter, but are they needed to defend your home?
What happens if giants attack and you're not there? From what I've seen giants kill pretty much anyone and I've even watched one beat a dragon to death when it was dumb enough to land near the giant. It would suck to return home to find your steward/wife dead from a random event that took place without your knowledge.
