I was in Chorral near the fighters guild and I walked into Rimalus Bruiant's house just to see if there was anything good in there. I realize I trespassed but he immediately started fighting me. I got him into a corner and 5 hits later he's dead. I go outside, talk to a guard to make sure I'm cool and it's no problem. Go back in, loot his body and he has a key to the house on him.

Question is do you think it's safe to keep things in here? Also the house is unlocked but I do have a key. Any way to lock it? Oh yeah and the dead body in the corner! :p And it won't let me use his bed either.
 
No, you can't store in any of the containers or they'll eventually go back to default, losing you all your items. You can throw stuff on the floor, on top of chests, etc. The house isn't yours because you obtained it illegally... ;)
 
i killed the guy at the white stallion lodge and got the key ,been keeping my stuff there for a wile now and everything is still there able to use chest and other containers with no problems

Not the thread hijack, but I bought a house and stored a bunch of crap in a cupboard. Will those things still be there later?
 
As I understand it, the only safe place to store items is in furniture you own (i.e., in your own, purchased house) or within the confines of that house. Thus, placing items in the game world at large, in chests that are not yours, or in houses that you don't own are at risk of being recycled and replaced.

I keep all of my weapons, armour, and magicka items in three different cabinets in my house in Skingrad, and routinely go check on them to add, sell, or generally make sure everything is still there (I have tens of thousands of gold tied up in those baubles).

I suggest completing the Anvil house quest (a bargain at only 5000 gold, for what you get) and storing your loot there. It's not far from an arms merchant either so you can sell stuff quickly and easily.

Actually, I consider that house my "I've Made It!" house. The servant is a nice bonus too.

Me too and i'm using it as my main storage house... The maid is a nice bonus indeed :D
 
maids? storage upgrades?

obviously I haven't been paying close enough attention to all of this housing stuff....
where can you get these things?

Buy all the stuff that you possibly can for your Skingrad house from whatever merchant it is in town. It'll probably set you back about the same as the house, around 15k-20k gold. Then go to the castle and you'll find a gal in there who desperately wants to be your servant.

EDIT: I think she was in the merchant's place for me, though, but I seem to recall reading in the strategy guide that the trigger can also be the castle.
 
you can prolly keep stuff in the white stallion lodge cos you get given it as a reward for the knights of the white stallion quest. its kinda shabby and out of the way though...

no you cant store stuff there unless its on the ground all the containers reset in WSL
 
its been there ever sence i started.. i just drop all my extra stuff infront of the stores. that way if i decide to sell stuff liek making potions ect. i dont have to walk :)
 
My favorite house is the one at the docks in the imperial city. 2000 gold and near all the action. Not huge, but gets the job done.
 
Haha, I do the same exact thing. I drop loot that I hardly need but might use later on or something in front of the store.
