Purchasable Homes and Included Upgrades/Extras in Oblivion Remastered
Exploring the Multi-Chambered Mansions of Oblivion Remastered
Step into the enchanting world of Oblivion Remastered, where even the sewers won't exhaust you before finding a cozy refuge. But why settle for a cramped, overcrowded inn when you could own a stunning Oblivion house of your very own?
Player homes in Oblivion Remastered come brimming with more than just a comfortable bed. They're also perfect for decluttering your inventory, with some houses boasting numerous chests, cupboards, and crates to store and organize goodies. Before you splash the cash on a place you've never seen, let's take a sneaky peek at our potential new abodes—Oblivion style.
Acquiring Your Dream Home in Oblivion Remastered
Oblivion Remastered presents 12 delightful dwellings for you to call yours, most of which require a fee for the house itself and additional charges for upgrades. Fortunately, the Remastered edition includes all four DLC houses which were gratis in the original release, ensuring they'll remain services for charity in the revamped package.
Usually, acquiring a property in Oblivion Remastered varies between finding the vendor, building relationships, and making the purchase. Entering the house with the key unlocks further real estate adventures, often directing you to upgrades adding storage space and additional features. Some fine-tuning’s might be more aesthetically pleasing, but they sure do create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Enhancing Your Oblivion Home with Tempting Upgrades
To upgrade most houses in Oblivion Remastered, you'll need to hunt down the specific NPC merchant providing additions to your new property. They won't be shy about showing off a few goodies, but buying every upgrade often concludes the corresponding quest.
One exception to the rule is Benirus Manor, which somehow comes furnished but feels a tad barren compared to some houses' features in the series. Remember, there's no guarantee you'll find the best deals at the cheapest prices, so the prices listed are based on savings gained from a notorious haggler's escapades in the realm of negotiation. Your potential savings may differ based on your Speechcraft and Mercantile skills.
The Top Houses in Oblivion Remastered
All houses provide essentials: a place to rest and de-clutter your inventory. If that's all you need, buy the shack in Imperial City and call it a day. If, however, you're after a recommendation, consider one of these two hidden gems:
The Cheydinhal House
Price: 15,000 GoldSeller: Count Andel Indarys✅ Requires 60 Disposition Upgrades: Borba gra-Uzgash , with each upgrade costing 2,390 Gold
This slightly pricey house in Cheydinhal is a great pick. Score the key from Count Indarys in the southwestern corner of the city, near Willow Bank. Despite a modest number of rooms, the house avoids irritating loading screens and comes with a myriad of storage options on the second floor. A little corner of barrels and crates perfect for keeping inventory categories neat, orderly, and devoid of chaos.
Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad
Price: 25,000 GoldSeller: Shum gro-Yarug✅ Requires 70 Disposition and 15 Fame Upgrades: Gunder, with each upgrade costing 3,020 Gold
Rosethorn Hall, a fan-favorite, tends to cost a pretty penny but requires building fame and a high disposition before the vendor will make a deal. Still, if you've got the grit to ascend fame ranks, Rosethorn Hall offers a mighty immersive experience; with a lengthy list of upgrades and the Servants Quarters renovation even adding a housekeeper! The Bedroom Area upgrade also nets you access to the Long Forgotten Note and the Rosethorn Cache sidequest.
Free Houses in Oblivion Remastered
Four free houses adorn Oblivion Remastered, all of which were DLC add-ons in the original release. These homes are worth seeking, as even the hardest to obtain are manageable if you're prepared to make the journey.
Battlehorn Castle
Price: FreeUpgrades: Nilphas Omellian , with each upgrade costing 2,035 Gold
Battlehorn Castle sits just west of Chorrol. Defend the fortress from marauders to claim it as your own, then visit Nilphas in the Imperial City's Market District at the Merchant's Inn for upgrades.
Deepscorn Hollow
Price: FreeUpgrades: Rowley Eardwulf , with each upgrade costing 2,100 Gold
Find Deepscorn Hollow just south of Leyawiin. Begin the quest by heading underwater and discovering Greywyn's Journal; then traverse the castle ruins to find the entrance. Rowley, the vendor, can be found at Wawnet's Inn on the western edge of the Imperial City; however, he doesn't keep regular hours—catch him just after midnight when he's sitting on the second floor near the fireplace.
Dunbarrow Cove
Price: FreeUpgrades: Dahlia Rackham , with each upgrade costing 550 Gold
Pursue Dunbarrow Cove just to the south of Anvil. The questline sends you beneath the castle and into Smuggler's Cave, where you’ll battle a horde of undead pirates. Dahlia can be found on the Sea Tub Clarabella docked in Anvil harbor. Unlike routine bartering, you won't work out a deal with her—simply select "Dunbarrow Cove Upgrades" after striking up a conversation.
Frostcrag Spire
Price: FreeUpgrades: Aurelinwae , with each upgrade costing 1,150 Gold
Frostcrag's Spire sits just east of Bruma. Begin the questline by approaching the snowy tower and meeting with the entrance's guard—details on upgrades will be provided in the Imperial City, specifically the Magic Emporium.
Further Houses in Oblivion Remastered
The Waterfront Shack in Imperial City
Price: 2,000 GoldSeller: Vinicia MelissaeiaUpgrades: Sergius Verus , with each upgrade costing 275 Gold
Your first Oblivion home will most likely be this shabby shack in Imperial City. In the Market District, head to the Office of Imperial Commerce and speak with Vinicia. You'll need 50 disposition to persuade her to sell it; otherwise, engage in a Persuasion minigame. The Waterfront shack only offers a bed to start; so upgraded by returning to Imperial City's Market District and conversing with Sergius Verus.
The Bravil House
Price: 4,000 GoldSeller: Count Regulus TerentiusUpgrades: Nilawen , with each upgrade costing 575 Gold
Count Regulus in Bravil Castle sells this home for a few thousand more than the Waterfront shack. This house isn't spectacular, but it's worth upgrading by conversing with Nilawen at The Fair Deal.
