These furnishings are bought at one of the vendors in the city where the house is (they don't show up until you buy the house). The furnishings come in about eight sets (stuff for the bedroom, stuff for a storage area, wall hangings for the bedroom, etc), and the total of the eight sets is approximately equal to the house purchase price. Once you buy a house, you also have to buy furnishings for the house. You can come back and grab the stuff from the floor, and the body will typically be gone.Īnyhow. And they'll get cleaned up pretty aggressively within dungeons, so you want to loot the body and drop it on the floor if you're encumbered.

Note that bodies count as containers, too.

I haven't run a lengthy experiment, however. That seems to work well I don't think it has ever been cleaned up on me. I've also left stuff sitting on the floor in rooms in the guilds. After a lengthy excursion, when I returned. It was there when I came back a short time later. As an experiment, I threw some stuff into a chest one of the Fighter's Guilds. The manual says that you shouldn't put stuff into a container you don't own, or it might not be there when you come back.

The main reason that I own a house is for storage. He wondered if it was worthwhile to go broke in the process. On one of the mailing lists I subscribe to, a fellow Oblivion player noted that he had built up just enough gold to buy a house.
