...Where would you live? For me, Chorrol is where it's at. Anvil coming in a close second.

Skingrad has always been my prefered choice of residence; a great little city with ample shops, interesting people and a good mixture of common folk and higher classes. The Count is probably the best of the patriarchs too.

Anvil comes a close second. You can't beat the Anvil sunsets at the docks. <3

I've always found Chorrol to be my home. Even though my Skingrad house is the one I decorate, Chorrol just feels like a good match.

Other than that, I'd probably live in Kvatch. They have the coolest history, the (surviving) people are determined and strong, and the shield emblem is awesome :)

Hard to say. I live in northern Sweden, so Bruma is very cosy for me. Though the Nord scares me.

I think Cheydinhal or Anvil. Kvatch is cool, too.

I would prefeer Cheydinhal. Nice buildings, and I love the surrounding area. But def not The Imperial City. But as I am the Count of Kvatch :D , I belive this is where I belong.

Cheydinhal. Although I would be a little tensed, knowing that a group of assassins have their headquarter nearby.

I don't like the mock-Tudor housing in Cheydinhal. They make it look like the most middle-class place in the world.

Yeah, Chedinhal is no good for me what with the corrupted count and assassins guild...

I mean, sure, as the leader of it I'm not too worried, but still.

I have a mod installed that makes snow in all Cyrodiil possible. It has some glitches though. Sometimes the weather changes from sunshine, to snow, to rain in only a few seconds. I think I will remove this mod.

Anvil is the cosiest, but I love the layout of Cheydinhal. The whole rivers and bridges right through the city thing destroys any monotony.

In Cyrodiil definitely Leyawin (spelling?) or Cheydinhall, and in the upcoming expansion Shivering Isles definitely Mania. (From what I've seen in pictures and trailers it must be a beautiful place to wander around in! :D )

You know, I really can't decide.

Living in a nice bit of IC, like Elven Gardens, would be cool, but I really like the achitecture of Cheydinhal (reminds me of rural English vilages) and surrounding countyside, but Skingrad has best shops and one cool Count. But Anvil is beautiful too, by the sea, sunsets and buxom maides tilling the soil...

Ahhh! decisions decisions...

I DO know it would NOT be Bravil or Leyawiin. I've lived in Moss Side, and they're worse!

Bravil is pretty bad, but you should look over Leyawiin one more time. Its not that mossy and the achitecture there is prolly the most homey in the game.

I agree, Leyawiin is actually really nice, though just a tad isolated.

The thought of Bravil's "noisome sewers" really puts me off, and I bet there'd be loads of sand flies biting too!

I think if I lived there for real, I would just go for the same kind of options as I do in game, as in get mega rich and have houses all over the place!! :D

I prefer Anvil because of the sun and the beautiful surroundings. That city feels warm in some way. And not like sun warm, just.. cozy warm :) Besides, let's take Skingrad for example. It feels as if the city has tried to put as many houses possible inte that city. Really, it feels like New York or something, with alley sized streets. Almost makes me claustrophobic. Anvil has lots of space and people seem to be relaxed and stressless. Besides, I just love the docks. I am going to buy the house there very soon, since I hate my house in Skingrad. Even fully furnished and with a maid I hate it :(

Watch out for the spelling, it may bite you.
