Mine has definatley got to be the area south of the Imperial City and west of Bravil. It has such a cool feeling to it, like something out of a storybook or maybe even LoTR.

Do you guys have a place like this? A place that maybe gives you a bit of that sweet nostalgia or you just like the look and feel of?

A few runner-ups of mine were:

-The creepy, swampy area around Leafrot Cave (Lich in the DB quest)
-The path up to the freezing, stormy cliff of Gnoll Mountain

There a beautiful little lake with a waterfall on the left-hand side of the road as you walk from the Imperial City to Cheydinhal. It's my favorite spot in all of Cyrodiil.

Moss Rock Cavern, where the Necromancers' altar is. I just love the lighting effects in there. There's also a cool statue on the altar of what I think is a Daedra. I wish I could take it. :brokencomputer:

Shadeleaf Copse. It's simply beautiful there.

Just outside Dunbarrow Cove. On the small rocky island, I like to watch the sunset over the water. Dated graphics my [censored]. It's still gorgeous and inspiring to look at.

Right now I'm actually standing on a rock just outside of the Roxey Inn. It's sunset, and Lake Rumare and the Imperial City look peaceful. The sky is vast and filling with the beginning of night, and the grass is swaying in the breeze. The mountains to the south are hulking and dark.

And a million other places in this game. :wink_smile:

On top of the Jerall Mountains for sure, I just I could make the distance fog go away so I could see it all

You know?

I have trouble picking favorites, but I really like the area of the Great Forest just where it meets the West Weald. The transition from forest to meadows gets me every time. I could see myself hiking around this area, assuming it weren't packed with enemies.

I finally explored the coastline up north of Anvil the other day, too. Now THAT area is stunning when the sun sets.

Ah, yes Shadeleaf Copse is quite beautiful. No way! I think I'm in the exact same rock at Roxey Inn at sunset too! it's very serendipitous.


Yah! Def. my number two. When I was up there I swear there were no clouds, very cool sight. :vaultboy:


Dude heck yah! like the area north of Skingrad? mmm...
Oh and I was up north of the Gold Coast the other day too! Sadly it was night though so I didn't get to see the sunset.

I hate how people say Oblivion was unoriginal and whatever. It is amazingly beautiful.

Overlooking the falls and pond near Shadow’s Rest.

Wherever you go, there you are. Oblivion works that way.

Standing high on a mountaintop in the snow (I like cold regions always did, did in morrowind as well)
looking to the horizon, able to see the imperial city as well as 4 of the other city's laying below me..
seing the stars on a clear sky and the twin moons..

That would be one of my favorite spots..

The other place would be Aylid ruins..
just like dwemer ruins in morrowind.. they fill me with a mix saddness and curiosity.. and with a desire to see them, and their culture at it's hight..

Climb up the Jeral Mountains. And once I reach the top?

Tada! Turn around and behold the sunlight on Cyrodiil. But occasionally I'll make the half day(in game of course) trip up the mountain paths only spin around to a view of fog and bad viewdistance.

*facepalm*

Triveldyn is still looking for his place. He's more of a wanderer.

There's a little place with about 5 waterfalls near the Abandoned House. It's so wonderful! I like it when it's raining there, it's so peaceful. I was going to put a little cottage there for one of my characters and realised I would have ruined the whole atmosphere of the place.

Also, there was this one place with a waterfall I came across in the Nibenay Basin, with a large waterfall and a large lake. I can't remember where it was, but it was on the way to the first Dead Drop contract. That quest was put on hold.

I'm glad Oblivion was my first TES. I'm glad I didn't start with a game which is weird and stuff (not that I'm knocking Morrowind, which sounds cool in its own way).

I know that one. I was really surprised the first time I saw it.

I also like the area around Anvil, and Lake Rumare. The view from the back of the waterfront shack is one of the reasons I bought that house. Who wouldn't like waking up to that?!

Why hasn't anyone mentioned a town yet? I love the nature and environment of Cyrodiil, but I also really enjoy the warmth of places like Bruma and Skingrad. Just nice, small with good people and a nice atmosphere to surround yourselves with when not out on adventure.

As mentioned before, I do like the beautiful nature of Oblivion, but I feel much more at comfort inside a town. It just makes me feel safe and at peace.

That's a great spot, but there is one that I like better near Chorrol. I'm pretty sure it's at Black Rock Caverns. You should check it out.

Lake Arrius. Though that's with a UL mod installed.

Hmmm. Fyrelight Cavern. I have very fond memories of that cave.

Ok another one of these

Love the Jeralls, always have. Tbh I like all areas in Cyrodiil but if I have to make a choice I′d go with that

+99 Respect to you, Mara!

I Absolutely love Lake Rumare, very beautiful :thumbsup:

That would be the "favorite town" thread, right? But one of my favorite hamlets (if we could call it that) is http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Bleaker%27s_Way. It's really hidden, you have to climb some hills possibly just to find it. All the NPCs are friendly, there's an inn, and I believe some free beds. I don't think the innkeeper even charges for these beds. Oooh! Maybe this can be Lady Saga's home base. Perfect, out of the way

*mumble* Town's still an area.. *mumble* whatevah..

The area that covers everything between Leyawiin and Bravil. It's really crowded with trees and loads of nature. I kinda' like that, except for the Will-'o-Wisps. I loathe Will-'o-Wisp.

I like the area southeast of Lake Rumare, from Pell's Gate to that huge bridge around Fort Alessia.

I like the small pond on the right of The Black Road, west of Chorrol.

Both of my characters adore Skingrad, which is kind of strange since they like water and lush scenery. There is just something about the concrete urban architecture, bridges and overpasses that they find appealing. Also, as Mage/Alchemists they enjoy the lush farmlands that surround the city and the abundance of ingredients available. Whenever they are stressed in the game, they seem to migrate to this area to stroll, pick flowers and collect ingredients. A close second would be the waterfront in the Imperial City. The view of the water from the shack, and the ability to swim close to home is a unique and enjoyable contrast to Skingrad. They always seem to prefer three homes. The Waterfront shack, Skingrad Manor, and Wizard's tower, due to functionality and the diversity of the surrounding environments.
