No.
The smaller houses are more fun. I've still got my Twin-Arches which is unfinished and I have no idea what to do with it. In comparison having way less space and a smaller item limit force me to be creative in how I reflect the character, I have to get the point across while using as few items as possible.

Is that the entrance to the secret passages leading from the Temple of Ire to Scarp Keep? Confession: I always get that puzzle wrong. There's something about the layout of it that I find confusing as hell.

Small houses are fun, true that. More fun than inn rooms, which, while fun, are a bit frustrating. I totally get the desire to express who and what a character is, but look around you. I'm willing to bet the items in your bedroom that reflect who you are couldn't fit in an inn room.
For me, a house the size of the Coven Cottage is the perfect size, although I remember we had great fun decorating the Black Vine Villa. So I'm just saying just buy more of those. Like, you may have hit a wall with Twin Arches but you didn't with the Jungle House. It happens, so just leave Twin Arches unfinished until you are inspired. Meanwhile, Autumn's Gate or Humblemud or Black Vine or Snugpod offer new ways to reflect your characters and inspire you without the limit imposed by inn rooms and without the need to hit the item limit at all. You can keep it minimalist yet still double or triple the number of itmes you can place, and do so with less than 100k in expenses.

Yes! That's the one, took me a while to get that as well

What is it with the inn rooms? Rose Lion is okay, but Mara's Kiss? Awful, put a bed and chest in there and that's all there is room for. Dorcas picked up Hammerdeath, which will get sectioned into rooms, Ji'sari is still early days so need to see what type of home she would prefer

Sure Mara's Kiss is the smallest player house available, but you're underestimating what you can do with it. The ceiling is surprisingly high, making it possible to build a second floor that you can stand on (although the camera forces you into first person).

Here's another example of making a second floor.
Now back to the original topic. After thinking about it some more I realised that one of my Khajiit will stop in the middle of what she's doing to clean herself like a cat, quite possibly to confuse people. I don't necessarily have control over it because I'm using an addon to play certain emotes as idol animations, so she will literally just start licking herself.

Paws said: Speaking of, when it comes to rp I've noticed that I tend to be a bit anal. Like, I don't meta and can only do a quest out of its correct sequence if my character already knows about it. For instance, I know I need to go to Camlorn for the next main zone quest but my toon doesn't. So I will make sure he jumps the hoops so as to get the dialogue telling him to go to Camlorn. Not sure why that is, but it seems to be important to me.
Simple answer, you're roleplaying. You have a firm understanding of what your character knows and how they would act based on that knowledge, so unless you can come up with another reason that they would be wandering Camlorn where they can "overhear" people talking about the events of the quest, it makes sense that your character would need someone to mention it to them. You or I wouldn't instinctively know about some interesting event happening in the next town/suburb/city over so we'd have no real reason to go looking for it, but if someone told us about it or we had another reason to be there and happened to notice it we might get involved.
