Anvil and Skingrad, I was just love roaming the Colovian highlands but I enjoyed going back to these two cities. But Anvil most of it, it's surrounding lands and coastal design reminded me of where I used to live as a child.

Balmora. Easy to claim a house there, tons of shops, guild halls, trainers, and the silt strider and mages guild teleporter are right there too. It seemed like it was close to everything.

Bruma, it's close to the mountains, and the views over Cyrodiil, and the house is the least ostentatious that meets the needs of an adventurer and collector. Both the house and the city manage to be rugged yet comfortable enough.

Chorrol. Nice and foresty, and also mountainous nearby. Not too urbanized like the IC, but not in the middle of nowhere, either.

Second choice might be Leyawiin, but it's rather dirty and out of the way. Caldera is not on the list.

Least favorite would probably be Ald'Ruhn (confusing layout, monochromatic, and a lot of ash/blight storms), and Vivec (too large, difficult to get around the cantons, and the cantons are difficult to tell apart).

I was just going by those listed as cities on UESP. I guess you can still choose other.

I like the Citys along the Gold road and Anvil in particular, kinda like going at mach 5 down the gold road, made it from Skingrad to Anvil in exactly 2 minutes.
My 2nd choice would have been Ald'Ruhn you just don't see those kinds of buildings everyday.

Tough one...
I like the Almsivi cities, Mournhold, Vivec, and Sotha Sil.
But I'm going to say that Mournhold is my favourite.

I picked New Sheoth, obviously. I'm obsessed with the Shivering Isles, what can I say?

I haven't had much experience with Morrowind, however, so I don't have an opinion as far as those cities go. In Cyrodiil I like Cheydinhal the best because the town is so pretty with all the trees and the brook and those lovely wooden bridges. I have a special affinity for Tudor-style homes, too, as the Cheydinhal buildings are fashioned after. :tes:

Ald'ruhn for obvious reason.

Hint: Giant Enemy Crab... Skar I mean.

I feel obligated to say Balmora. It just feels like a home away from home. So familiar, probably a place that Morrowind players spend their most time in. Many familiar faces, great start to most professions, easy to get around once you catch the hang of it.

I also love Vivec, but getting around the Cantons really gets me down. It's a wonderous city once you get inside, but even with the boat rides, it just feels like a neighborhood full of houses all painted the same with the same car in every driveway, and usually your destination is the last house on the lane. Silly anology, I know, but that's just how it makes me feel. But as I said, once you're inside and get a look around at how all the different cantons function, it's a great place, but it just doesn't have that home-y feeling Balmora always has.

No Seyda Neen? It's where it all started for me, so it has always remained my favorite.

I suppose it is more of town though rather than a city.

Yeah, it's a town really. Only has something like 8 buildings. I added in Caldera even though it's considered a town because it has 19 buildings, which is about as much as some Oblivion cities and I think more than some Morrowind cities.

Yeah, a small swamp/port town I suppose.

I voted Vivec. I've always loved the architecture, and it was the place I spent most of my time when I first started playing Morrowind. I must've explored every nook and cranny of each and every canton.

I don't think 9 buildings is a city. If I included every minor town I wouldn't fit it all in the poll.

Reading the title fail.

I can't decide which town is my favorite, because I've a favorite towns in both games. In Morrowind I choose Ald-ruhn (a lot of merchants) and for Oblivion it's Skingrad (just between Anvil and Imperial City). :)

I picked Ald Ruhn overall, but I also enjoy Chorrol-because of the location of the city in relation to scenery in the game.

I really liked the imperial city. For the time Oblivion was made, this was a really big place considering most npc's were named and had back-stories. I also had a love for the Thieve's Guild, so the waterfront was always interesting to hang out around.

1st is Balmora because I recognise it, and get around, then Bruma, as it's very cosy, New Sheoth, as it differ from the other cities, then Vivec - it looks nice, but no idea how to get around.

Skingrad, it was rich, clean, and just all around nice, and the cheese and wine don't hurt either.
