I used to lke Anvil but I've actually changed my mind. with Better Cities bravil gets alot more detail and seems alot bigger, with all sorts of details and stuff added to a detailed dirty city. It just seems a bit more realistic. Compared to some cuddely happy rainbow monkey city.

I must confess that I just simply had a love affair with Morrowind. All the cities had something going on with them, inside the very works and foundations of them. It was even better when you stumbled in to the city without ever before having any knowledge of its existence.

Boy, I can remember the majesty of wandering into Vivec, and the surprise of Mourunhold. It was beautiful.

Fav is Bruma. I love the way it was integrating Skyrim with Nibenean, made for interesting dialogue. Also, I like the architecture.

Balmora, though I voted Cheydinhal I changed my mind when I thought about the Hlaalu council and Caius Cosades house.

I have to go with Balmora. It was the first city I ever went to in an elder scrolls game, and now I love the series in general. However I'm disappionted that Suran and Peliagiad weren't on this list. :nope:

In Oblivion, I like Bruma, Anvil and Leyawiin. They all just feel so unique and different.

Seyda Neen for me, being my first foray into the alien land of Vvardenfell. The first time I heard that Silt Strider... it sent shivers up my spine. :)

Oh, and the Crucible side of New Sheoth. Mania? BAH! Who needs it?

I'd have to say Pelagiad. It was just natural for me. Like calling a place 'home.'

I loved all the main cities in Daggerfall, but Sentinel Palace appearing out of the mist was a total "WOAH" moment for my impressionable young mind. Hands up; who levitated right to the spike at the top, and then jumped all the way down again? I killed about six characters doing that.

In Morrowind, I know it was rather small, but Pelagiad felt very nostalgic to me. I'm not sure why.

Skingrad is my favourite Oblivion city. I like the narrow lanes and tall houses.

I forgot all about Suran.

And I definitely agree about Pelegaid feeling homely

QFT. Though, with the better cities mod I fell in love with the IC, which is kinda amazing since that place looked like crap before.

In Morrowind, I'd clearly go with Balmora. It had enough of a market district to be "useful", enough other districts to be "credible", and enough transport options to keep my character going through it constantly for most of the game. For most of my characters, it wasn't "home", but it was the hub for most of their activities. Many of the other cities in Morrowind were awkwardly and nonsensically laid out: you don't wall off 3/4 of a town and then leave gaping holes on the sides most likely to be attacked, and you don't situate a fort in a bowl so the walls are higher inside than out unless it's main purpose is as a prison.

Vivec was impressive at first sight, and included a full range of services, but was far too empty of people to feel like a "city". Mournhold was a fabulous start, but we never actually got to see the "city", just the inner stronghold.

In Oblivion, Skingrad had the best "feel" to it, with the closest things to "industry" in the game and actual tilled fields surrounding it, although my characters probably spent twice as much time in the IC. The other cities in the game all felt "lifeless" and "purposeless" in general, in spite of the scheduled NPCs and voiced greetings.

I have yet to fire up Daggerfall, which I definitely intend to do at some point, but the idea behind a totally "procedually generated" city doesn't sound very appealing to me; perhaps interesting to see for the first time, though.

It was the loving care and attention that the developers put into Balmora which made it unquestionably my top choice.

anyway, i voted for Skingrad, i really like this town made out of stone and its narrow streets.
Got Balmora second and Suran third.

Skingrad and Chorrol looks like real medieval cities.....they are most beautiful cities in Cyrodiil (dont know for other provinces never been there)....but i prefer Chorrol more then SkingrAd.
