💡 Tips for Homeowners in Oblivion Remastered
- Buy early, save often: Even the cheapest home offers safe storage—super useful when you’re juggling rare loot.
- Disposition matters: Most counts and vendors won’t sell unless their Disposition is 50–70+, so raise it with persuasion or bribery.
- Upgrades vary: Most homes can be customized with decor, containers, beds, and even extra perks (like a maid or pirate crew).
- Own them all: There’s no limit to how many houses you can buy, so go full real estate mogul if you want.
Buying a home in Oblivion Remastered is more than just a flex—it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re storing daedric gear, crafting in your mage tower, or plotting from your vampire lair, there’s a home out there for every kind of hero (or villain).
