User blog comment:Bilitis/Poll - Questions about your homes/@comment-1746153-20160603104508

I like building homesteads since it levels Smithing and it gives me something to do when I don't feel like doing quests.

For stewards, I mostly use housecarls, though one of my characters has Talvas Fathryon, and he is pretty awesome (one-shots bandits with his Ice Storm). Too bad he has a low level cap.
