Favourite region

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 7:57 am

Just wandering what region you like to wander about in. I like the West Weald the most. Which region do you like the most?

EDIT: Just added Shivering Isle's aswell. Now you can let your favourite region in the Isles known to the world. :D

The Gold Coast. Nice looking, nicely round region that is a pleasure to ride trough, with lots of easily accessible ruins.

Blackwood and West Weald are equal for me. (Voted Blackwood though). BW because my Argonian is reminded of his native Black Marsh whenever he visits. WW because Skingrad is my Argonain's current residency and favourite town. ^_^

As for SI, Dementia is similar to my idea of Black Marsh so it got my vote. (Even though Haa-Rei frequently collects Unrefined Greenmote from Mania for his Nirnroot experiments.) :read:

Jerall Mountains. Perfect place for my Bosmer Assassin to hide out and hunt bandits in the midst of snow storms to mask his trails.

Good point. Each region has areas which are exceptionally designed. But... Just pick one. I know you have a favorite. :poke:

If I could've, I would've picked them all. Except Blackwood. I clicked on Chorrol, as my mage spends a lot of time there collecting Steel Blue Entoloma.

I like the plains region near Anvil. Good hunting and a great plateau view.

I'll be curious to see how this one comes out. I can't imagine there would be any one solid winner, with all the choices.

My personal favorite is probably the Nibenay Valley-- particularly the parts due north of Bravil and along and above the lesser rivers east of Bravil-- nice, rugged, green, heavily forested country. But my characters tend to have their own favorites, and range across the map. Bogmok doesn't like much of anything, but he finds Blackwood to be most in keeping with his own moods. Kyla loves Bruma and the Jeralls, and actually gave up her life in the IC just to move there (after giving up her life in Cheydinhal to move to the IC). Hale has a native fondness for the Jeralls, but surprised me with a preference for the Gold Coast. Claudia and Vorlin both love the Great Forest, but Claudia just passes through while Vorlin lives there. MIndi doesn't have much of a preference-- she's a city girl. Though she does like Blackwood the least, just because it's dreary and rainy and it messes up her hair.

And so on.....

I'm with gpstr here. My character sees so much beauty in each of the areas. I signed her up in the poll for the Niben Bay area because Bravil is her wonderful, but humble home town. :dance:

But oh my, there's so much to like everywhere. The forests north of Chorrol, the rich ferns of the Black Marsh and moonlight swims in Topal Bay, the yummy wines of Skingrad, shopping in the IC, sunsets on the beach in Anvil, the beautiful tudor houses in Cheydinhal, that gorgeous brave Captain Savlian Matius at Kvatch, the magnificent views of the White Gold Tower from around Bruma.

All that said, the only area she tends to avoid is Bruma because she doesn't handle the cold well and hates wearing ugly furs to keep warm. :cold:

Depending on my mood it's either Mania or Dementia.

I chose The West Weald because it just looks like your generic forest and it is basically an Alchemical paradise, so many different flowers and plants everywhere. Another reason I like ti is because I'm always finding random ponds and things there, it's just a wonderful place for me.

About a crows-fly walk from Skingrad to Bravil, that's my favorite area... and I seem to find myself in dementia more than mania...

For scenery, I prefer the Colovian Highlands. For alchemical ingredients, I like visiting the West Weald. I voted for Dementia, but I haven't ever finished the Shivering Isles, in fact I think I have only had one character ever actually go into the "Strange Door" in Niben Bay, so I am not really sure which one I liked more, but I had to choose one to cast my vote. Maybe one day I will get around to actually finishing the Shivering Isles, so I can see which area I actually prefer.

Jeez, I couldn't vote. I don't have a favorite. :shrug: Some of my characters have preferences, though. Luci Pheria loves the great forest for instance. She's the atypical old crone-type witch living deep in the forest, harboring evil, etc. But me? I can't pick a fave.

Depends on who I'm playing, right now, my mage loves the Colovian Highlands. I always seem to be spending my time in dementia in shivering Isles.

I would say the West Weald, as that looks simple, i guess. Can't cast a vote on Shivering Isles though, as i never tried it...

Just pick one.

I'm torn between Jerall Mountains and the Gold Coast. I love snow and mountains, but on the other hand I love seeing those wonderful seas of yellow grass waving in the breeze. I can't stay on the road long when I enter the Gold Coast. I have to get off and run through all that grass. It has a coastline and ocean vistas too, which I also dearly love.

I guess I'll have to go with the Gold Coast.


::EDIT:: It looks like I still can't vote. It wants me to also vote on Shivering Isles, which I haven't played. *sigh*

I can't really vote, since I like them all pretty much equally. When ever I'm about vote I think "but this other region is great in it's own way too"
