Hard to point ONE fav... mainly cause I don't have the game at this moment (borrowed it)

But I'd probably point out:
  1. tomato soul gem
    facing a copy of me during the MQ
    the amazing dark seducers
I mean, Shiv rules... I'm so regret I don't have the game myself... I might actually buy it instead of asking for it borrowed each time :!: :roll:

Syl's the sexy one. I can see why he jumped at the chance to get with her in the questline. :D
Are you kidding me? Thadon's a coke-head and Syl looks like some old woman! :D
Ummm.....Syl actually looks like she's maybe only around her mid to late thirties in the face.

You don't find thirty-ish women attractive?? :shock:

The atmosphere of the isles have to be my favorite thing. Beautiful foliage, views, architecture, the night sky, interesting weather and interesting people.

I honestly think why some people find Syl so Attractive is because of the dress.
It leaves very little to the imagination in the chest area and its unique. :D

It is a great dress.I was so mad when I found out it couldn't be looted :x My character woould've looked perfect in it.

Oh, also, my favourite thing about the Isles is probably all the perks you get after finishing the MQ.

Exactly. I mean usually the Armor is obsolete by the time you recieve it.

And the title just does a minor boost to your Fame.

ANother thing that ticks me off.

Afterwards, it always, "Martin did this...." & "Martin did that..."
These people just suddenly forget who did all the leg work and defeating countless Daedra and shutting down countless Gates and killing Camoran. :Angry:

Yeah, all those Oblivion Gates, extra quests and losing one of your artifacts, for a pat on the shoulders and a suit of armor. SI's rewards:much much better.

I disagree. Cyrodiil's wilderness is very beautiful, but the Isles have so much more uniqueness, thereby making it more beautiful.

Cyrodiil's wilderness looks like any other beautiful landscape that you could find in our world.
The Isles don't resemble anything in our world. To me, that makes it more beautiful.....when its different and one of a kind. :D
Yes and no, Like the sky in Cyrodiil is much better than our real life one lol and SI's sky is just funky and cool looking along with everything else (Being the views).. both places look nice and are a good spot to get some screen shots for Xfire or any other program you have...

I think the boob layer still exists on the PS3 version of SI. I only tried it with a dark seducer, but I think it works with others.

You have to look at them from just the right angle underwater.

Ever jumped off the Imperial Palace tower? Or used the console (tcl, toggle collision) to go even higher?

I like Shivering Isles because it feels like a holiday and it reminds me of Morrowind. I can escape Cyrodiil for a while and spend some time in the Shivering Isles :D.

Yeah I agree. At first it's like "OMG COOOOL" but you get tired of it. The realistic landscape on the other hand is something you can't get tired of. Maybe because the realistic landscape has more variation. In just Cyrodiil there are several different kind of nature, in SI there are only two. But SI's great, I couldn't ask for more. It's only an expansion after all...

What I like about the wilderness is that there are huge craters every here and there. It's fun to run around the edges and look down at everything. The giant waterfalls are pretty great too.

I like how every NPC is interesting in some way. In Cyrodiil, I found that there were too many NPCs who had regular, boring names and were all calm and collected. As soon as I entered the Shivering Isles, I wanted to meet all of the crazy and dark people who lived there :wink:

I love the landscape in SI. The island split in 2 different sides, dark and colorful. Manic and Demented. Wonderful! I also like how peoples personalities are very...odd.
