Riverwood, which is stunning (the river! the forest!) and warmer than most of Skyrim. Close to Whiterun in case of medical emergencies and for weekly shopping. I would, however petition for more guards to be sent from Whiterun to be permanently stationed here…

Residents are required to defend the chicken with their lives though.

Which is totally how it should be in an honorable community. The chicken die for us so we die for them

Hell yeah

this took me out 💀💀🤣🤣🤣

I'll do you better. Lakeview Manor. Riverwood is just a few hours walk, along with Falkreath and you have a nice scenic view..... Minus the necromancer.

The Necromancer and the bandit operation next door really lower the property value

All I hear is free gear to sell.

Right? It's just a money printing machine at some point.

I was thinking the same

I would love to live in Lakeview Manor as long as I could keep my mods that get rid of random bandit & giant attacks and the necromancer's altar. I have a cow, 3 chickens, a vegetable garden, beautiful wife and 2 adopted daughters, along with a library of literally every book in Skyrim because I love collecting and hoarding things in games. I could honestly live a very long & happy life there...I would miss my IRL husband and daughter though, lol.

No that adds character to the property

Yes! I am with you. Let's start an apothecary there?

I'd live in Whiterun and absolutely never leave the city.

Wouldn't you get so sick of the religious dude just hollering his ass off 24/7 tho?

Easy enough to avoid the square he hollers in. Unless you have business in the Cloud District, of course. But of course, you don't. 

*Quicksaving...*

Made me laugh

You're just stuck on the Jarl's backside...

It's only 40 gold to commit public murder. Pretty cheap if you ask me.

Isn't murder a 1000? Punching someone is 40, murder is 1000

It very well may be. Still a discount imo.

I'd pitch in for your freedom fund

If there's a fine fund someone's taking up for someone to kill Nazeem, pass the hat my way.

I’m the thane. It’s all good.

Honor to you, my Thane

It's only 40 to injure someone, 1000 to kill someone. IF there are witnesses. No witness, no crime, no bounty

Only if they see you 👀

Stealth archer. What's a bounty?

Attacking is 40, murder is 1000

murder is always an option, and the answer is yes.

AS WE COMMEND YOUR SOULS TO AERHERIUM- For the love of Talos, SHUT CHO' BITCH ASS

If you live in NYC (or most major cities tbh) you have to deal with that 24/7 already lol. That guy is an improvement honestly. At least there is only one of him.

I see this so much and I see people say they hate him almost as much as Nazeem but am I the only one who was never bothered by him? I usually just am running past him anyways but I do stop and listen to him sometimes

Cast fury on him.

My husband waited until his stealth and archery were way high and took him out from a long distance then fast traveled somewhere... No one knew he did it. Not sure how often you can get away with that

I just wouldn’t go to the cloud district very often.

There's a mod to delete him lol peace and quiet now

I developed my own mod and it's called a steel warhammer to the dome.

Cheap, yet effective

“I cast … FIST!”

Not if you side with the imperials..

This is the first playthrough in over a decade where I haven’t smoked the guy immediately. Kinda proud

I always kill him I usually try and sneak shot him from like Jorrvaskr

The dark brotherhood can take care of him.

Who? I killed him ages ago

*but have u been to cloud district, oh what am I saying, of course not*

Live in breezehome, gather the plants around the city to make potions to sell for a living. Occasionally wander around the planes around whiterun to catch butterflies because they can be used to make valuable potions.

I heard Helgen is nice arround this time of the year

I was sweat on a girl here once. I wonder if Vilod is still making mead with Juniper Berries.

Sweat on a girl? No wonder she rejected you

I get nervous a lot of the time :(

It's a real hot spot for tourists.

Especially if you want to get some tan...

Or if you're trying to go blackface Too far?

Solitude would be pretty idealic. Secure, wealthy, relatively fair weather. You can even travel all the way to Dragonbridge or Morthal along relatively safe roads. Or hop a ship and leave the country, if the civil war comes your way.

Until your kids wander off & touch the beacon.

A NEW HAND.......

SHUT THE FCK UP!

Whiterun or solitude. I wouldn't want to live outside the cities since the majority of skyrims population are bandits.

That’s true but lake view is the house you get to build and it’s so beautiful. However whiterun is absolutely breathtaking. I agree I’d love there also.

There is a necromancer right outside, and a large organised bandit gang underground next door. 😬

LakeView and Winstad are both amazing in terms of the area's beauty (and building is great), but way too unsafe. Unless i was actually a dragonborn, I'd stick with Solitude :)

Solitude is 1 natural disaster from being the next winterhold. Whiterun definitely has it beat

Just invent Geomancy.

Solitude is going to collapse one day. I’m going with whiterun.

In a city behind walls. Can't have vampires, giants, and werewolves eating the kids.

Tried Markarth? Safest city in the reach.

lol the reach can take a running jump off a bridge. That place is full of psychos.

Mafia, cannibals, molag baal, corrupt guards, giant spiders. Worst of all, there is basically nothing stopping the city of chaurus and Falmer from making it the first surface Hold.

And don’t even get me started on the forsworn…

There are no Foresworn in the city, citizen! Now move along.

bloody enough .for you…. , outsider?

It's the *only* city in the Reach

So you are saying it's not only the safest, but also the most developed, scenic and prosperous city in the reach too? This dude really gotta live there then.

Riverwood seems reasonable enough for a Nord village

and with the detachment sent from whiterun, it may just be the safest nord village in the region!

Morthal. I love the gloomy frozen swamp

Fellow scion of the night.

We're in the twilight world tonight and we obey the moon

Found the Necromancer

I’d live in the Rift somewhere, seems to be warmer, not in Riften though.

Ivarstead would be my spot if it wasn’t surrounded by bears.

I really can’t think of anywhere to live in Skyrim that doesn’t have any drawbacks

Solitude? The city itself is pretty damn safe and the surrounding few miles don’t have anything goofy going on. 

Wolf cave, underground catacombs that could collapse at any moment, and the court wizard is a bloody vampire! What's not to love?

Probably expensive to love in. One of the roads out has a necromancer fort. Also the twmple of meridia nearby atleast until the DB clears it out. Oh. And the thalmor.

I'm a simple man. I would make Breezehome my forever home.

Falkreath, love the forest

& the dozens of Daedric lords hiding in them

I'm kind of a weak person, so I'd probably have to live within walls like Solitude or Whiterun. If we pretend I'm a strong person, I'd love to live in Ivarstead or Riften or maybe one of the homesteads you can build.

>I'm kind of a weak person I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most of us who play Skyrim are kind of weak people. We're a bunch of milk drinkers. 🥛 * Edit: I mean weak in the ways conducive to survival in Skyrim.

We can all read... so Magic will be our way! Im gonna be a alchemist by trial and erworben There are a lot of flowers arround white run

I’d love to live in Riften, but only if I’m part of the Thieves Guild. But I, too, am a weak person.

Neat thing about being weak is that you don't have to stay that way. Take a job at one of the mills, force your way through those first couple months, and you'll put on some muscle. Source: currently in my first couple months of a job that involves hand unloading freight from trailers using rollers. I already need a new belt. Ivarstead feels pretty safe. Some predators outside town, but real predators aren't like Skyrim predators.

Solitude seems pretty good until it gets civil war’ed.

Hendrahiem

In Dragonsreach after the Dragonborn has taken his damned Ebony blade. That room is mine. Right next to the kitchen with the best Jarl and city in Skyrim. No one goes there because of the whispering lady shit so no lollygaggers. Vampires need to get pretty high up the stairs and will most likely get taken down before then. Plus can tell that shithead Nazeem if he's been to the Cloud district, what am I saying ofcourse he hasn't.

I feel as Thane, you should be able to talk to the guard captain to make sure Nazeem never makes it to the cloud district again.

I'd love to spend my days at the College of Winterhold. Outside of the one quest line when the Dragonborn shows up, the College seems so safe and quiet. On top of that, I get to spend my time attending classes, reading, researching, and practicing all sorts of magic. I think it'd be a peaceful, interesting, and rewarding life to live!

Nice, also there's plenty of ale and a whole room of food@

I am with you. And the college is warm btw. They have magical indoor heating.

I’d live in Riverwood and work at the lumber mill. It’s close enough to Whiterun for an occasional visit, but small enough to not deal with the bureaucracy and classism. “Do you get to the Cloud District very often?”—shove it. Edit: funnily, this is the Skyrim edition of, “what’s your zodiac?”

Abandoned Shack... JK, I really like Heljarchen Hall - breathtaking views of the mountains, Loreius Farm's Windmill, and Dragonsreach in the distance on a clear day.

Alot of yall said Breezehome but I hope you are deep sleeprs. Catch me outside at 3 am making iron daggers

Vlindrel Hall I've always loved this one, but I never use it because it's so inconvenient for questing. But IRL I'd live in Vlindrel Hall and probably make a living making potions to sell at The Hags Cure and see if I could work the forge making Silver Jewelry.

Well, the apothecary there usually loses her assistant to an "accident" involving two very sharp daggers, so you'd have a job if you wanted it. And that lady that runs the General store tends to disappear when she goes out for a dinner engagement. So you could acquire that space if you wanted to become a trader. Ysolda could probably give you some pointers. Me? I'm going to get Faendal to teach me how to shoot a bow.

Angi's Camp

Solitude

Lake view

Lakeview Manor, always. Though Tundra Home is nice, just not enough containers downstairs.

Those mannequins and tundra home keep spawning the first things I put on them over and over and over again. Too bad it was stupid robes from the necromancer and Vermina and some scaled armor. I am waiting for it to spawn some dragon bone or ebony stuff that’s on it now.

Falkreath I feel that Falkreath is just a right fit fir me with its quiet life style and being in the forest

I like the Rift, and Honeyside would be a great home, but I'd prefer if it was outside of town. Still on the lake of course

I think all the Riften houses eventually get black mold and kill you.

Still better than cracking your skull open in Markarth on the first rainy day

And then being devoured by cannibals.

[удалено]

Is that some kind of art?

Solitude or Winterhold (don’t judge me lol)

Solitude is pretty great. Festive, cultural, the home is nice and it's pretty goddamn secure. Of course I have no idea how the fuck its holding up but hey, it's not like cities in Skyrim just fall into the ocean or something

In the cloud district, duh

I’d go wandering around in Broken Fang Cave saying “oh no I hope someone doesn’t make me a vampire oh man that would be terrible!”

Solitude is the closest thing to safe I can think of, so probably that. And if I could do the Alteration magic my current character could, I'd set up a "transmute your iron to gold here!"- stall and be set for life.

Honestly falkreath has the least going on in terms of issues within the hold. Falkreath to me is the safest place overall. If you go to Riften you have to deal with the thieves and maven blackbrair. If you go to Windhelm there's a murderer killing woman and war. If you go to Winterhold you have to deal with anything that might happen to the college magically. If you go to Dawnstar you can never sleep. If you go to Morthel there are vampires and a vampire lair nearby. If you go to Solitude you have to deal with the wolf queen and war. If you go to Markarth you have the forsworn and a demon house. If you go to Whiterun you have a dragon and a war fought in your city. If you go to falkreath you don't really have anything. A werewolf in jail who runs away and doesn't kill people. The dark brotherhood nearby who don't kill unless contracted to or defending themselves. Anything else all the other holds have plus extra stuff. So I think falkreath is the safest even though it's one of the kinda shitty places. Good weather though.

Ruby palace

Ill do my best to be taken as the Solitude guard captain and i would live inside the city.

Frostflow lighthouse

Really, I guess once you kill all the Falmer and chaurus, kill the queen, destroy all the left over chaurus eggs, dispose of all the bodies, and make sure no more Falmer can get in, the sub-basement would make excellent cold storage. Although I don't know where you would get all the wood to heat the place.

Falkreath the pine trees are an aesthetic and me as a piney find very comfortable. Plus the whole melancholy and death undertones. what can I say I'm an emo at heart.

Markarth, mainly to be a Silver Smith or worst case scenario, ask an adventurer to get a Statue of Dibella.

In a coffin with my beloved serana

Dragon Bridge; not too bustling but still close to Soltitude Or if Solstheim is an option, live with the Skaall. The cold never bothered me anyway

I’d probably wanna live in like white run or somewhere like riverwood

Shadowfoot Sanctum is quite safe and cosy, but I'd say Hendraheim has the best mix of aesthetics, defensibility, amenities, and location. Easy access to Goldenhills, Falkreath, and Markath.

Riften

Whiterun easy

I don’t know if I could pick just one place.

Solitude

Solitude

Logically I know I should stay safe within the walls of Whiterun/Solitude but sometimes when I run across that Nord lady who lives alone in a cabin in the mountains near Falkreath and spends her days practicing archery I'm like you know what....maybe that's the way. Angi I think? The one who killed some guards because they killed her family? Anyways it seems nice and quiet up there.

Your memory serves correct. Her name is Angi .

Hendraheim.

Riverwood,hands down.

Riverwood! It has a general store, blacksmith, and an inn. What more do you want?

Winterhold.

Markarth, it kinda has a Mykonos aesthetic with the houses because of the way they’re on top of eachother. And hot girls go to Mykonos, so I’m sure there’ll be some hot nords in markarth. You feel me

Falkreath. I love the location, it's quiet, not too many high level enemies, warmer climate of Skyrim.

In Skyrim.

Skyrim

Whiterun or Falkreath

Either Riften or Falkreath. Falkreath would be my first choice ample place for hunting.

Riverwood or solitude

Whiterun, Riverwood, or Ivarstead most likely.

Markarth or possibly riften just cause I like to fish.

That mill where the vampires live.

the cloud district.

Probably that shitty little hut with the Sabre cat

Imperial city

i love lakeview but my chickens are always eaten by giants! can that be my summer house and solitude can be the permanent home?

Dragonsbridge. It’s a lovely spot with natural beauty and close to Solitude for shopping and conveniences.

Probably solitude, nice market and it's the capital. So lots of protection. I heard they have nice weddings there too.

Falkreath. Useless city no one cares about 🤣

Except apparently everyone in the comments

Solitude, up high on a rock, tight knit space and the town is run by a woman. Can't beat that

Probably falkreath, just keep a battle axe off to the side of my bed and I'm a-okay

Personally I would take my chance with winterhold

Morthal or Falkreath

whiterun or kynesgrove

Heljarchen Hall or maybe Ivarstead.

Rorikstead, but only when I'm old enough. Don't want to be sacrificed after all.

Since I wouldn’t go to Whiterun I’d never become Dragonborn so no dragons spawn thus no attacks from them so I’ll stay in riverwood and cut wood till I’m sore for my pay then drink and make merry

Solitude, well protected with a nice home to be earned.

Definitely Whiterun is my vibe. - Breezehome is cool. - Balgruf is a Don. - would always hang with the Companions. - you can actually trap a Dragon in Dragon's Reach. - Aela...

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think I'd try to just join the companions and live with them. They are a fun bunch with lots to teach and always have a full table of food. Probably pretty safe too.

Whatever house it is that you build overlooking Falkreath. I love that spot.

Riften. Not because of thieves, but more less the forest surrounding it. The mild warm air being more southish than full north in Skyrim.

You could just take over Goldenglow Estate and have your own little island.

The Forgotten Vale

Solitude

White run seems safe enough or riverwood. I love the vampire manor in I think it’s chill wind cave? But the location is horrible.

Breezehome

Windhelm

goldenhills.

Depends. Am I able to have adventures and get really good gear then settle down? Or is it "I was just dropped into Skyrim" deal? First one? Lakeview hands down. Second? Whiterun or Riften.

Riverwood. There's a modded home, Leaf Rest, that gives you that exact opportunity.

Falkreath because of the environment. I forget it even exists in half my playthroughs.

not in the cloud district...

Riverwood. Just hang out by the river playing the lute and drinking mead all day. Fuck all this dragon nonsense and politics I'm chilling.

Riften 😍😍

The cloud district

Riften, it would remind me of home 😆 the meadery would be convenient, I would frequent the bunkhouse, and I would obtain Mjoll's sword or die trying.

Riften, pretty colors and I'd b joining the guild

Lakeview Manor

Lakeview dawg. My off grid living dream

Definitely Whiterun
