If you lived in Cyrodil, what city would you live in

I would live in Cheydinhal or Bruma.
Cheydinhal mainly because it was the first city i was in other than the IC. I like the architecture, and of cours, the Dark Brotherhood.

Bruma cuz' i love the cold.

I went for Bruma, mostly because my Nordic characters would inflict injury if I didn't.

But it's a tough one, I always kinda like Chorrol (spelling, people!

) not so much for the people but because the town is exceptionally well laid-out, and the great Oak is just unique.

But Bruma's folk are on the whole much more fun. My characters usually spend a good deal of time kitting the town out (Talkie Toaster's mod) in clothes and suitable weapons & armour. Knowing how many Gates are going to open around them makes me feel they ought to at least have a Fighting Chance (hah).

Usually, my characters live in the wilderness (a couple of caves & an abandoned tower); but a pint of ale on a wintry night in the Tap & Tack always goes down well.

You could always have them live in Anvil for a bit. Nords like it there, because of all the sailing opportunties, apparently.

I'd live in Bravil for the waterfront property

. I wouldn't mind a shack like home, as long as it has 2 floors. I just love living by the water so it wouldn't matter.

....except around Bravil it seems to be abit more Sewer than clean running water....

True. But the salty air seems to turn Nords green. See here if you don't believe me

Wow. Even in alternate dimmensions 3000 years ago they didn't care about the environment. Crap the entire universe is fu**** up.

You don't exactly see hippies everywhere carrying protest signs "Save the Mountain Lions!" But then again, they have magic, which makes everything different.

Ya, they all start protesting in front of that hunter dude in Anvil's house while getting high on skooma

I chose Bravil, it's on Niben Bay and close to The Strange Door...easy access to the Shivering Isles...my favorite Plane of Oblivion.

I'd go for Skingrad, Anvil or Chorrol.
Skingrad is a cozy little town with a beautiful castle and tall houses stretching down narrow streets. Nothing like taking a stroll down the lanes. And the vineyards... <3

Anvil is a wonderful coast town with beautiful architecture and a big lighthouse. It's just awesome!

I love Chorrol! Why, I can't explain. The atmosphere is just awesome and the Great Oak...

I don't know, maybe he just ended up that way after all those years married to a Bosmer.

And there was me thinking he was just sea-sick.

You'll have to excuse me - it's my character you see, she's a Dunmer, they can be so xenophobic sometimes. Maybe there's somewhere in Cyrodiil I can send her for inter-elven diversity awareness training.

What was it the Dunmer smith in Anvil said about Heinrich Oaken-Hull's wife - "I'd rather sleep with my horse!"

You wouldn't! Xenophobia is one of the Dunmers' most charming characteristics.

My Nords would often fail miserably in InterSpecies relations. They get on well with Khajiti & Argonians. Elves & Humans, not so much. Don't even mention Orcs.

I suspect he knows what his apprentice gets up to with Heinrich's wife behind the stables every afternoon

I was quite shocked meself.

Most NPCs can't even identify the race of their comrades.

"Tun-zeeus runs the Dividing Line. He's the genuine orc of Leyawiin."

I get there and POW. Tun-Zeeus is an argonian. How do you muck that up? Besides the devs overlooking it.

I'd have to say Chorrol - nice little friendly town, nice house for sale, nice people (so far), and the Grand Tree is a nice touch. When I'm not researching, training, or adventuring, I like to lounge under the Grand Tree and read a few books.

That's why he's a "genuine orc of Leyawiin"!!! Argonians are the Orcs of Leyawiin! DUH! I mean, get a clue, Vesna.

Spoiler alert!

I thought it was odd that when my character fought Maglir towards the end of the Fighters' Guild questline, he shouted "You're a traitor to your own race!", even though he's a Bosmer and she's a Dunmer.

I would probably live in such a little town in the woods.
Love to walk around the woods exploring..

I would live in Skingrad, nice place, nice people and there's local nut-job

I like Skingrad, but Leyawin probably has a better climate.

tinyclouds · Post by **tinyclouds** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:40 pm

Leyawin's ok but i wouldn't like the count (big-Headed [Literally]) and looks kinda swampy

True. Blackwood is like that. Too many Argonians.
