Well, I'm glad to see that this game ain't getting dust in our shelves.

Morrowind have this sense of wonder that is so hard to duplicate... this overhelming feel that you're a strange land, among strange people, caught in a damn fine mess, and that you're not welcome at all. Everything there is alien, strange, and marvelous. The fact is, once you've get used to it, and it gets used to you... there's nowhere else where you'd rather be.

Tell us where you're settled, and why. C'mon, there are plenty of house mods avaliable, and I'm pretty sure you picked a place to call home.

EDIT: I was going to add a poll, but there are too many damn options.

i just started again after a long long time and i'm currently living in seyda neen :hubbahubba:

My favorite city :ermm: that's a hard one.

I do like Vivec a lot because it looks so unique but I also enjoy hanging around in Dagon Fel because of its location.

I use a mod called Mori's Mountainside Estate. It sets in Balmora. I like Balmora as it has several fast travels (silt strider and mages guild) and many vendors so sell my loot. Plus no dust storms.

The home itself is essentially a cave/built into the mountainside right next to Nalcarya. It has a bed room, dining room/bar area, pool with a waterfall and with a hidden storage room at the bottom, Another secert area that contains a room with manniquins (great way to display the various armor types of MW) and tons of storage containers, another room that is alchemy oriented and has Zippy the alchemy rat (he sorts and deposits all ingredients into separate labeled containers), and a library (which you have to stock). On a side note I have enticed Muddy (mudcrab merchant) to take up residence in my home. But there are planty of display cases and shelves and boxes to store all of your oddities and things. One wall with several bookshelves I have a collection of 'named' soulgems and other filled soulgems. Another bookshelf is pretty much filled up with skulls. And a couple of fire places to keep your feet warm.

Khuul, or Suran. I prefer to live a little bit desolate so a Telvanni Tower would be nice

Skaal

But on Vvardenfell, Seyda Neen. Nice little port town

My favorite character was raised in Vivec. But she didn't enjoy it. Nor is she allowed back there O_o;;;

Her favorite city would probably be Sadrith Mora. Because there she could find many like minded people, and the same could not be said for Vivec

On Vvardenfell, I prefer Balmora even though I like House Redoran more.
My old characters used to live in Dura gra-Bol's house but now my base of operations is Caius Cosades' little 'bed and basket'. Not much of a storage, so my artifacts are stacked on the ground, surrounded by Caius' moon sugar and skooma pipe. <_<

On Solstheim, Raven Rock is a very nice place after you help in the construction.

However, my favorite house mods are actually a trio: Ravenloft, Secret Hideout and the Trading Halls. The only way to get there is by using their respective amulets so they don't conflict with the outside world. You can even train there. My characters have to 'earn' these amulets so I have to raise them hard to live comfortably after that.

The mod I feel integrates best with the game world is "Houses to let" - you can rent a house that's not intrusive at all in any major place, and it blends very well.

Balmora have this warm, homecoming feel - maybe because it's the 1st real town you get to know once you're out of that dump (Seyda Neen). Maybe because you have to come back once in a while. I also love Suran for its slightly middle-eastern feel, and I still "wow" over Vivec every time I go there. Ald-ruhn and Sadrith Mora have that exotique, outwordly atmosphere... I find it really hard to pick one.

Since the Shivering Isles expansion I noticed Beth is on the right track of designing the world again - and I must say, so far Skyrim looks pretty much reminiscent of MW artistic direction.

I need a shirt that says 'I <3 Balmora' like the ones that say 'I <3 NY' as a joke.

Hahaha, I camp out in Caius' place too. Small, but I like it! I like arranging unique swords on the bench by the door, and artifacts on the shelf over the chest; books get stacked on the table. Towards the end of the main quest it really starts getting cluttered in there. If Caius ever comes back to Morrowind he's gonna be like, where the hell is my floor.

I like Balmora as well; it's probably my favourite city to operate out of. There's a Fighter's Guild nearby, a handy Mage's Guild that I tend to hang out a lot in, some good bars and businesses for supplies or training, etc. It can be very pretty too; I like the river and the park-like plaza by the Hlaalu residences. If I were to pick a favourite city for pure atmosphere though, I've gotta go with Ald'ruhn. I love that place! The dust storms, the architecture, the thorny plants that intrude everywhere... and then there's Under-Skar, the giant hollowed out Emperor Crab shell that seems home to so much secretive Redoran intrigue. I've got a lot of fond memories of tramping all over Under-Skar on missions for House Redoran. Ald'ruhn just feels very strange, very much a living, breathing city. Love it!

Vivec would be a close second. That place is huge! I always feel overwhelmed by the size of the cantons. It's my favourite city to be a tourist in, because there always seems to be so much happening there, much of which you might not even be aware of .

I guess Balmora overall and for Hlaalu, Ald'Ruhn for Redoran and Sadrith Mora for Telvanni. Best locations and most happenings. Balmora was the first town ever where I really settled with my first ever character, a Bosmer archer. I spent months and months both game time and real time in an unlocked room in Lucky Lockup. Then that base was getting very small at the end and I had to move. I think I went to my Hlaalu stronghold at that point, although it took me forever to ever get myself that first ever great house stronghold. So, most time spent in Balmora and its surroundings. It's the most nostalgic for me of all the Morrowind's towns. I also feel I have biggest ties there. That is, it seems that many quests happen in Balmora compared to similar cities such as Ald'Ruhn (Redoran council excluded) and maybe even Vivec... There are many active NPCs and everyone have their own Hlaalu-like atmosphere of always weighing the scale to your own direction a bit.

Tel Mora. A town where I'm the only man; now that's just heaven.

Oh, and Dagon Fel.

I always end up in Balmora, it always had that Robert E. Howard feel to it. But to say which one is favorite is a hard one for me, if not impossible.
I think that all Morrowind city's add to each other, its diversity is what makes them so unique by bounding them as different reality's of culture in the same space and time, what i mean is i find all of them as one place.

I prefer Sadrith Mora, since I struggle to be The Archmagister of House Telvanni. I spend most of the time there except when go on the main quest

I love to fly around that big tower, its incredible. The Council hall was so stunning!

Hmm. I guess I'll have to split it :

On Vvardenfell its Pelagiad. I dunno why, but I've always liked that place, its small and cozy for me...

But by far my favourite home is in Mournhold. I tend to use the Sadri manor, for obvious reasons, which I had modded to accomodate most of my tastes in aesthetics

Lol, really too many awesome places to pick one!

Mournhold makes me feel a bit too much of a outlander, if you take what I mean. In Vvanderfell, it's like "this is not your place". Mournhold is like "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE"???

I know what you mean, but I can't help but not love that place. Like they say Mournhold, city of light, city of magic!

Thirsk on the land of solthsthiem

Ald-Ruhn usually since my spellsword was in House Redoran.

The question for a favorite city in MW is hard to decide for me. I like many of them.

Aside from using a stronghold, I liked most my house in Balmora. It was a relatively simple mod that you can see http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/Turjan/Balmora.jpg on the left in the back. Nothing fancy, with the most extravagant aspect being some wacky lighting. Of course, it was very close to the guild guide and the silt strider. I liked Balmora in general.

Yeah, I know how it is. Every distinct architeture style have a rather unique flavor, and it's hard to pick a fav over the middle-eastern Hlalau style, the high-fantasy Telvanni style, or the uther alien, tusken-esque style of the Redoran. Then you throw in the mix places like Pelagiad, Ebonheart, Caldera...

... speaking about houses and strongholds, which one do you guys favor? I must say, though I svck for Hlaalu cities, I find the Telvanni Stronghold pure awesomeness.

[edited to fix bad capital letters and other nonsense from my bad english]

Caldera.

Beautiful stone architecture with all the shops needed for trading and selling with homes available to be used for residence completed with a stone fence and a castle, AND a talking/bartering scamp!

Balmora. Great look and feel. Very cozy and home-like.
I have yet to find a place in Cyrodiil or Skyrim as nice as Balmora.

I really like Dagon Fel. It's so backwoods and run down and...believable. haha
