    Falkreath or Riften. I don't like the cold that much. Though the Reach has the best views.

    Morthal or the Rift. i love the creepy atmosphere there!

    but i probably spend the most time in Whiterun because of the city and quests.

    haha ! you can't beat travelling west from winterhold... no firewood... no trees... screen blurry from being freezing, hungry and thirsty then you spot the lighthouse in the distance ! It's like nothing else I've played :)

    My favorite is 1: Dawnstar by far then 2: Windhelm 3 Winterhold (I seem to like the cold and snowy places idk why)

    Markarth. Stone and water are beautiful together.

    Markarth is my favorite City, but I hate the Reach in general.  As for my favorite hold... well, probably the Rift, but honestly Riften bugs me sometimes (though it is one of the cooler cities in terms of aesthetics).  I think I would like Riften more if Maul and Brynjolf weren't so IN YOUR FACE about the Thieves Guild.  Oh, and I hate Maven, she can go DIAF for all I care.

    None of them because not a single one of them has a single khajiit in it. (Probably for the best, the way Bethesda seems to treat them, they would probly be made the lowest of the low like they always seem to do in Skyrim.)

    That point aside I guess it would be Riften, since at least they have a few Argonians in there that aren't practicly slaves (*cough* Windhelm *cough*)

    I think it's clever what they've done. Bethesda have created discrimination in the world, one thing that we can relate to is discrimination, whether we're the subject of it, or we witness it (or you carry some of its ideologys...). This creates a believable world :)

    Whiterun is my favorite. I seem to spend the most time There. It just feels like home for all of my characters. Maybe some day I'll pack up my gear and leave the house to Lydia. Solitude is nice this time of year...

    I RP my Vampire-Mage from Morthal and role played the whole Morvarth thing into a blood-turf-war and then built my Hearthfire house there. It worked out pretty well actually, since the carriage driver, your bard and your steward don't sleep they could be your thralls.

    I actually enjoy Falkreath because it is in the woods and it is the perfect place for my woodsmen/ranger builds I love so much!

    As far as looks Markarth, setting to Riften, and location Whiterun.
