Skyrim heavily emphasizes player freedom, letting the Dragonborn protagonist engage in many different questlines and activities - or even simply wander off into the wilderness to explore. The best houses in Skyrim, however, are worth the high price to buy them.
Buying a house is stressful, even in the virtual world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Including DLC, the game has six pre-built houses and three plots of land for customizable homesteads, and most of them are quite expensive.
