I think some people need to tone down their expectations.

 What I want in my ideal castle (the full laundry list- not a realistic set of demands by any stretch. XD):

Ability to display cool armor/weapons in racks a la Skyrim.

Kitchen where I can craft food.

Bathing and toilet facilities- not necessarily to use, but I want to know if Thedas uses garderobes that open onto a moat, or whether they have outdoor privies, or dwarven plumbing.  Hawke's room had a giant chamberpot, and the Circle tower mages had buckets (seriously???  In a tall tower overlooking a lake that you pour magical potion remnants into, you don't have garderobes???) but in reality many chamberpots were small, handheld, and stored under the bed for night use only.  During the day you used the privy.  In any case I want the rooms for verisimillitude.

Library where I can store book collections/codex entries and see how many I have left to find for the achievement that will no doubt be paired with it.

Alchemy room/stillroom for potions and/or poisons.

Rush mats on the floors.

Grand hall where I can receive petitioners and choose to help them (or not.)

Training yard where I can play a sparring minigame with my guards to improve their martial skills.

Small, cozy common room where I can play a Wicked Grace or Diamondback minigame with my companions.

Smithy and living quarters for Wade and Herren.

Living quarters for ALL of my companions, servants' quarters for servants (maybe I have a spy or a thief in my servant population, and I have to go rifle through their belongings to find the culprit!)  I also want my companion's rooms to reflect the gifts I give them and the choices I make regarding their story- if I give them a necklace or a mirror or a key or ???  I want to see it on their dresser.

My own bedroom with a bed my character can actually sleep in, with a save utility built in.  Also I want my LI to move into my room with me when we hook up, bringing their belongings with them.    And I want the ability to bed them as many times as I want, unless story requires that it not be possible (i.e. Zevran's refusal.)  If my LI dies I want to sob over their possessions.

Graveyard- if my family or companions (or my companions' families) die, I want to visit their graves.  And I want to be able to put flowers on their graves, too.

Weather!  Snow on the ramparts!

Bandit incursions, hire-able guards that can die (permanently) if not trained, a siege where people starve if I haven't stockpiled enough in the way of provisions.

I want to be able to buy decorations as a gold sink and be able to rearrange some furniture into slots intended for a variety of furnishings.

Servants hanging laundry and beating the dust out of rugs outside on nice days.

Either a 24 hour clock or changes between night and day a la DA2.  Candlelight at night, sun streaming through the windows during the day.

Curtains (or no curtains. XD)

A chapel where my devout party members/guards can hang out and where I can trigger discussions about religion.

An infirmary where my Healer hangs out, actually healing people.  Maybe even delivering babies, if such a thing actually exists in Thedas.  I have yet to see any, but have hope.

For my party members that live in my castle to move around, maybe even have a schedule (as in Skyrim) where they sleep, eat, occupy the privy (no matter how much I bang on the door and demand that they get out!), practice their skills, relax, hang out with each other, etc.

Snowball fights and forts minigames in winter- a river or lake where my companions and I can sun themselves and swim in summer.  Flowers in spring and leaves falling in autumn.

Random disastrous events- giant rats in the pantry, a mudslide due to heavy rains, scaffolding collapsing during upgrades.

Dogs and cats roaming around- dog kennels where I can train my hounds for war, or take them with me hunting.

HOLIDAYS with appropriate swag and decorations.

A sexy steward like Seneschal Varel.

Treasure room where I can store my gold- the more I put in, the more visually full the room appears- chests overflowing with coin, gem-encrusted goblets and plates, super-fancy dress armor.

A sock blind.

A warded room for my mages to practice without blowing up the place.  Magical accidents result in a random event of demons coming from the Fade, and which requires my attention.  Maybe Sandal hangs out here, too, making shinies.

Unearth a tunnel with access to the Deep Roads.

Stables, with haystacks where I can invite my LI for a fade-to-black moment.

I want to be able to buy clothes, set outfits, and store them in dressers or wardrobes.  Then I can pull out my fancy dress for the masked ball I'm holding in the ballroom!

Ballroom for parties.  Also a moment of dancing with my LI, instructing them if they're clumsy, or having them instruct me if my PC is clumsy.

I want to be able to interact with stuff.  I want to be able to go into every room, even if I can't do anything.  I want the layout to be practical and to reflect actual, livable design so that I can more fully immerse myself in the game.  I want minigames, events, customization and personalization for both myself and my companions.

Seconded, with a dungeon where you can store those who annoy you. And occasionally have a talk with them (also a possibility to ridicule them, or free if you like. *causes storychanges*).

We will eventually, but not just yet. Let's have some fun first!

What do you want to do with your castle?

All I wanna do is a zoom, zoom, zoom and a-boom, boom.

Just shake your rump.

No romance scenes unless you buy the $5 love suite for your castle. 

Mmmmmm... I can feel the delicious rage already...

[happy_daiz]

I'd love it if you could add art, trophies, and other items, ala the Auditore Villa in Monteriggioni in Assassin's Creed II.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Hah! Now that they have the CoD crowd on board, it sounds like they're going after the 10 million who play the Sims!

Actually, a castle could be cool, but I have a feeling that what they have in mind would be something very static.  Kind of like that statue in DA2 in act 3 that I didn't even realize was supposed to be of Hawke seeing as my Hawke was female until I read a post here referring to it.  I hope it's a bit better done than that.

What would be nice is it be a home base for Hawke, and as you progress in the game, it changes in ways that make sense.  I don't think I'd like to have to worry about seiges and such, though.

I want to develop my castle into such a national treasure that not only do I not have to pay annual taxes on it and the surrounding lands, but I receive a yearly stipend from the crown to defray operating costs.

Look forward to all this being made into $15 DLC a piece.

Since it seems we're going to have horses, we're going to need stables. As Toby and Willie once sang " and beer for my horses ".

[LOLandStuff]

Put party members to mop the corridors and shovel the snow. That castle ain't gonna clean itself.
If some stay behind, they might as well make themselves useful.

[LTD]

Dynamic chain o quests having to do with ensuring it stays stockpiled and manned. No grassroot level BS like gathering wood; rather more lordly business of grander scale. Couple of juicy big fights. It could also act as an inventory  and trophy room of sorts; why not have all significant weapons, books, lore entirs etc to show up in armory/library(etc of the castle.

And cooking!

Isabela looks like she could cook a mean spicy sea food!

Varric would probably do nug stew

We need a place for miniature giant space hamsters please.

[Nole]

Have a Harem.

[Riverdaleswhiteflash]

I want the cells in the dungeons to have three walls. The fourth wall is instead a hundred foot vertical drop, from which you land onto a steep cliff face that you roll down another few hundred feet. Also, I want a drunken dwarf. Not as a party member, but as a librarian.

(Bioware probably isn't going to let us do this, but it would be awesome if they did.)

All the hot women sleep in my bed. No questions about it!

[Renmiri1]

Drunken dwarf librarian FTW!

And Tranquil housekeeper so you get those "you've got mail" announcements in the most emotionless deadpan manner possible

Oh and an ADD hyper cook always asking if you want some more nug stew... Or saying "guess who made waffles"

^^

It's amazing how the most consistent demands are "harem" and "dungeon"/"torture chamber".

[Riverdaleswhiteflash]

Yeah, but at least I think I'm the first person to ask for one like that.

[lil yonce]

I want a castle on a cloud...

[Zack_Nero]

Well I plan on being a warrior in my first playthough, so an armory, a ballista or two, after that it depends on what the game offers

[jack253]

protect my castle with a fleet of mabari chariots
