Favorite house?

I LOVED my little cottage in Riften.  I don’t understand how a dismal city can have such a lovely, homey house.  It had a tiny sitting room with a cooking fire, a bedroom with a chest and a wardrobe, and downstairs there were a few small rooms decked out for adventuring purposes.  It was nice to have a storage room to dump all my gear and the mannequins to put extra armor on.  I know it wasn’t nearly as big as some of the other houses, but it really felt like a place I would enjoy living in.

Favorite shout?

My favorite shout is definitely Clear Skies. :D  I wish I’d known about it earlier in the game, or else I’d have been taking screenshots a lot more often!  Skyrim really can look beautiful in all weather types, but the aurora borealis is definitely my favorite scenic aspect.

Favorite City?

Though it started off as Whiterun, I’ve recently become attached to Solitude because of how welcoming and beautiful it can be.  I find myself changing the time to sunset and sunrise often just to see the buildings light up.  It’s always an attractive city, though.
