Vvardenfell or Solstheim

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2009 1:59 pm

My guess is that it's going to depend on the character. My first time through Bloodmoon was with a Dunmer, and I saved it for the end of the game. He went all the way through and had a good enough time, but when he was done, he went back to Vvardenfell. He's still got some furs and weapons and other souvenirs, but Vvardenfell's home.

This most recent time through has been with a Nord, and he hasn't gone to Solstheim yet. I'm already certain what's going to happen though - he's going to see Skaal Village and that's it - I'm not going to be able to pry him out of there.

64 people will get Sanies Lupinus instead :tongue:


Well, it's better to be a werewolf than a mindless deranged and mutated inmortal (time-wise) zombie.

This should be taken with a grain of salt...Vvardenfell is larger and contains a majority of the actual game, but if we're assuming the content and sizes are identical then I'd still have to go with Vvardenfell. I love the mountains. I love the caves. I love volcanoes. I don't like how it's mostly brown, muddy, and just not a nice place to live.

I like a long winter, always have. Plus it really makes springtime more beautiful than it would be without a real winter preceding it :)

Agree 100%

Solstheim all the way!

This is a toughie. I do love the mead, but Solsthiem is too small... :shrug: I'd choose Vvardenfel.

They both have pros and cons.

Solthseim:
Unique enemies and enviroments,
rather dull once you finish all the quests there, not many places you would want to use as a house (except maby Castle Karstaag)

Vvardenfell:
Unique culture and feel to it, populated cities etc, changing enviroments.
After a long time venturing in Vvardenfell it can become tedious.

Overall I would choose Vvardenfell all though Solstheim is a nice place to visit, but its not a place to stay at. :)

Voted for Vvardenfell because I'm about as gloomy as a dunmer in real life most of the time - or I usually feel pretty gloomy anyway. So I'd probably fit right in.

To me the island′s size is no big issue, but there′s not a whole lot to do besides the quests. Vvardenfell offers more exploration, yes, but also more to do like spellmaking, enchanting, sneaking around in houses and more people to talk to. But Solstheim is supposed to be cold and barren with few people so they did get it right.

By the by, next round′s on me ----> :foodndrink:
