Do we have to buy all the houses, or we can settle with one or two?

The video should be up in about 15 minutes.
You have to buy them, in order to become Thane of the hold in question.

Civil War Quest's = 1000 point's each
Thane Quests = 250 points each
Becoming a Thane = 500 point bonus ( once you buy the house )
Bounties = 100 points each

Technically You are made Thane, then can buy the house.. but for the 500 bonus points, you have to buy the house. For the Hearthfire, you don't have to build the house, just buy, if that is what you want.

Personally I will probably wait til last to by the Solitude house.. as it's the most expensive..

I never have the gold for proudspire. Initial purchase is OK, but kitting it out is like a ton.

Annnd Arija is dead.

Two 2h bandits.

Bane of my existence. Can't do anything without being sent after bandits, and can't survive 2h bandits at low level.

I'm out. Given my recent restartitis, I can't stomach the idea of doing 1-5 again.

ouch.. sorry to hear that!

2h'ders are hard... though For A'Riya a dual wielder has been her closest call.. then a Mage, that she could not hit..with her vanilla iron greatsword .. thankfully most of her stamina and health potions later, the Western Watchtower guards got him!

I had a video of it.. you can see the sword go right through him.. and no damage at all.. more than once.

Looks like most of us are going "simple warrior." Good choice.

Ella Menthri has cleared Bleak Falls Barrow, but has not yet returned the Dragonstone. She has taken a side trip to Windhelm (visiting the Atronach Stone on the way; while there, she overheard a couple of conversations that raised her Dunmer hackles, and is becoming more convinced to join the Empire in the war. She will be visiting the College of Winterhold soon, and has agreed to pick up some sort of white flask or phial on the way.

A'Riya had quiet the day... BFB while not a breeze.. was a non-issue... Sneaking past the Sleeping draugr... waltzing through the swinging blades ( ie never got hit) ... The Draugr Overlord wasn't a pushover... but her hardest fight of the day... spider's... many many spiders..

Have you every seen something in the distance and decided to go see what it was? Well so did A'Riya, she ran as hard as she could, but could not manage to catch up to the spectral man on his horse. She was almost mowed down by a rampaging Chicken when she got to Riverwood.. and saw some spell's glowing red in the distance, she cautiously made her way to the center of town and used her bow to shoot the Vampire Thrall that Stump and two of the towns horses were attacking.. Sven got in a couple hit's on the man, before he fell beneath hard hooves. Sven then ran back to his house, A'Riya, heard running hooves and looked up the mountain road and the ghostly rider came through town, to the astonishment of all.

Two Master Vampires stood aside and the Guard barely got out of the way.. when the horse was but a distant clatter over the bridge out of town, the guard again went after one of the Master Vampires, Stump was attacking another and the horses where helping them, A'Riya helped the Guard, but had to stop shooting her bow when Stump and one of the horses got in the way.

When the light of dawn finally shown down on the town, Stump and one of the horses were the only casualties, Two Master Vampires, Two human Thralls ( one Chicken Thrall :ugh: ), two Death Hounds.. and one Thief.. I don't think he was actually part of the attack, just happened to be there... laid their lives in the dust of the town.

Short update:

Next on the agenda.. ingredient gathering and heading to Windhelm to do Blood on the Ice...Then back to Whiterun to give Farengar the Dragonstone. ( I'd rather do it early to try and prevent any glitches!

Really? I could have sworn for some of the cities, the Jarl says you can't be Thane unless you own property in the hold, too...

Whiterun is unique for Thanedom. From the UESPwiki:

This is a radiant quest; however, unlike most of the other thane quests, you can only receive it from Vignar Gray-Mane, and only if he is Jarl of Whiterun. If Balgruuf is the jarl, you can only become Thane of Whiterun by completing Dragon Rising.

The Wiki Page Reference

huH... your right...
UESP wiki Thane
The general process for becoming a thane comes down to a relatively general formula with the exception of Whiterun, where it is initially achieved by completing the quest Dragon Rising, and does not require the steps below to complete, unless you have joined the Stormcloaks and completed Battle for Whiterun.
You befriend the jarl through a quest or favors.
The jarl asks you to demonstrate your value to the hold by assisting the people (five people in holds with major cities, three people in the other holds; in the Rift the conversation with the jarl is skipped, but you still have to help the people).
The jarl asks you to purchase a house in the city (if the hold has a major city).
The jarl grants the title of Thane and all that comes with it.

I love how if you do things in one order the game does it "that way", but if you do them in a different order it does them "this way". Really gives us more stories which is always a plus!
