^^I see your point, but it's a tiny trifle overkill for me.

The House D'Orthay is nice for low-level characters (a level 1 character could get there).

You can use Creeper as a pawnbroker, and he'll both buy stuff from you and sell it back to you at what you got for it.

I agree with you in one sense about the fancier dwellings, but generally by the time my character is *that* high-level, I'm already lousy with good stuff.

Plus, most of the best stuff in the game is "found" stuff anyway. I don't need a vendor for it.

I like House D'Orthay because it's good for the beginning of the game, and it doesn't spoil everything for entry-level characters by handing goodies to them on a silver platter.

I have several other plugins I like that I'm not using this game (one for when you're Archmage, and one for when you head up House Telvanni). I like them both, but when I'm playing a mage House D'Orthay is my hands-down favorite.

OTOH, the beauty of this game is that you can make or use more elaborate plugins if that's your taste.
