I was today years old when I learned the Abandoned House in Markarth was basically a free Player Home.

Gamer Rant article imminent.

I just discovered the storage in the house doesn't respawn, and it's basically a free player house. I have always tried to avoid the Molag Bal quest because I find it annoying, but I also find the dude stopping me every time I walk by annoying. So today I started the quest and just killed the NPC as I walked in. Didn't realize that skipped the whole poltergeist thing and the house stayed pretty clean. I quick looked it up and sure as sh*t, nothing respawns. Only bummer is the cooking pot doesn't work (for survival) but the Silverblood Inn is a short jog across the street. Hopefully the Jarl honors squatters rights, since they kinda did that to the whole Reach.
