What is your favourite other-worldly environment?

Post » Sat Nov 09, 2013 1:38 am

Where is your favourite realm or other worldly place in TES? I've included all the options I can think of, let me know if you can think of more!

And let me know why you made that choice below!

Oblivion refers specifically to the Deadlands...I figured people may not realize what the deadlands were.

How about Hircine's hunting ground? Or does that not count?

Anyway, I vote Apocrypha. Shivering Isles is a close second, but I really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere of Herma-Mora's realm.

I pretty much dislike all otherworldly environments but the Clockwork City is the one I dislike the least. So I voted for that.

I haven't seen Apocrypha yet, so my opinion is subject to change in the future.

Um, I don't think you go there at any point but let me know if I'm wrong on that one.

This poll is only about places the PC can go in game.

Shivering Isles for me.
Although, Apocrypha would be second.

Sotha Sil's Clockwork City could have been bigger/better, but it wasn't the main focus of that expansion, so I understand why it wasn't as big as it could be.
Luckily there are mods that add to it.

It should also be noted that the Clockwork City is a real place, existing in the real world... It's not a Daedric Realm or dream world, but an actual city buried underground.

Spoiler
At the end of Bloodmoon, you briefly go there to fight Hircine.

But I don't think it's enough to be included in the poll.

I happen to feel the same way about Henantier's Dream World. By that definition, we should probably also omit Mankar Cameron's Paradise and Azura's Star (which you spend the least time in out of all these settings).

Apocrypha was done pretty well, could have been better, but it felt the least "pressing"/urgent one to be in. In all others I felt like I had to go in quickly, do what I came for and go back out, I felt like I could actually stay there and explore and study Mora's large library.

Secondly I'd say Shivering Isles, but it didn't appeal to me in the long run.

Clockwork city was nice, but not enough time to explore it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Though, my favorite "otherworldly environment" that's not a daedric realm, or dream or otherwise some sort of parallel or pocket dimension is definitely Telvanni's mushroom cities, it seemed so surreal to be there but it was fully palpable, you could walk, sleep and even live inside giant magical mushrooms along with weird semi-senile undying wizards, that was fantastic.

Shivering Isles is my favorite.

Mehrune's Plain of Oblivion is second.
