I like Bruma the most. The snowy climate along with all the drunk nords, just sets up a great atmosphere. Though nn terms of selling and buying, it's got to be the Imperial City.

Bravil By a long Shot i just love diving from the walkways down into the canal, and its got some of the most intriguing characters,

Aleron Lochce and Henanteir

Chorrol, definitely Chorrol.

Mainly because of the site, but also because my pet project Grey Knight is set mostly there.

Chaydinhal must be my favorite town. Who doesn´t like orc thugs?

Flyyyyyying flyying in the skyyyyyy, cliffracer flys so hiiigh... flyyyying
Sorry couldn't resist when you were talking about Cheydinhal.

Hehe, now I remember that drunk dark elf.

Hmm I'd have to say either Bruma, because I like the way your feet crunch in the snow (and me statue's there ), Skingrad, cos' it looks so cool and neat, or even Bravil because I love jumping rooftops while hopeless guards try to shoot me down .

I know its not on the list but Borderwatch is by far my fav town. Theres 5 houses ,an inn ,a farm and the town is 100% khajiits with heavy duty weapons!
Its also funny to see flaming dogs fly down from the sky and land on the town and the fact that you can cook some rare cheese and basically every rat in the wilderness will be plaguing the town.

I really do wish that you could actually cross the border into Esweyer, how great would that be.

by the way, for those peoples that dont know where border watch is, its north-west of leijawiin.

Actually, you CAN cross the borders, but it requires either an alteration of the ini, or the use of a mod to do so. Borderless Cyrodiil is the name of the most commonly used mod for this. If you;re on a platform however, mods, other than the official ones, won't work. They're PC only.

Its a tie between Cheydinhal and Anvil, I like the docks at anvil at sunset its really pretty but i like the architecture of cheydinhal alot and the rivers that run through it cant really decide

Bruma. Loved it the moment I approached it and I didn´t even need to enter the town first

Both Anvil and Skingrad are close seconds btw.

Chorrol and Anvil. Soooo pretty...

Chorrol! Love the forest it's in, love the nearby mountains, love the little unmarked paths to the northwest, love the Mage's Guild hall there.

Skingrad. The land around it is quite stunning. Besides, skingrad has salmo the baker

I really can't decide here. I enjoy every town in its own way and find something good in all of them.

But if I really had to decide, I'd probably choose Skingrad or Bruma. Skingrad because it resembles some similarities with my hometown (we have the oldest vineyard on Earth & some architectural similarities are evident as well) or Bruma because I love the atmoshpere.

One thing about Skingrad that I miss is that streets are so empty. IMO the most alive city (not counting the IC) is Bravil, there are always a lot of NPCs wandering outside.

Lately I've really enjoyed Skingrad and Bravil. They're polar opposites really but both have their charms.

Bravil.
Niamh feels at home there, if she feels at home anywhere.

Skingrad. Home of a paranoid Bosmer, a house of undead, lorded over by a vampiric count with an equally vampiric woman who is comatose who has a vampire doing periodic prison maintanance and of course, our dear necropheliac Dunmer woman!

Straight up my favorite town.

I voted for Bruma. But I also love Cheydinhal and Skingrad. I'm pretty fond of Chorrol too. And I'm not impartial to the charms of Anvil either.

The Imperial City is actually the only town I really dislike.

Because of lack of people or the layout?

It's the art design and layout of the city that I can't stand. It's my second-least favorite city in all the Elder Scrolls games (Mournhold is my all-time least favorite). I can't stand the place. I hate high walls in real life and I hate them in video games as well.

I think there are enough NPCs in the IC to make the place feel plausibly populated. In fact, the few times I've tried to use mods that add NPCs to the IC I've had to uninstall them. Too many NPCs all simultaneously chattering away about the same three or four topics gets on my nerves real fast.

In my head, I've been in the habit of seeing the I.C. populated with a lot of peasants and workers, keeping the streets clean, cobbling shoes, repairing abberations in the walls and street, and stuff like this. The NPCs we actually see in-game (the ones who mosey about talking all the time) are mostly higher classes. The lower classes don't stop to chit chat and conversate, they mostly just work.

If any of you have seen the way Assassin's Creed does it: the town is packed with NPCs of all classes, kinda/sorta, to the point that people occasionally have to squeeze to get by one another. This is what I mean.
