Here's a fun thing to think about:
What is your favorite ruin name out of all of vanilla Oblivion's ruins? This just includes Ayleid Ruins and the Ruins associated with the Shivering Isles (not caves or camps), not forts, caves, mines, cities, or camps.

My personal favorite is Lipsand Tarn. It just flows so well and sounds cool. I'm considering making my next character a vampire with a name based off of that ruin

Vindasel is cool.
It's small so I won't get lost.
Has a chest I can repeatably loot.
I have some serious bad ass company in Umbra

So yeah that's a ruin I like.

You know what? I actually used Vindasel as my character's home for a while because it was so small and convenient! And that non-respawning container was nice for storage.

This is all without mentioning the fact that the trophy of one of my greatest kills is there for a while

I like Nenyond Twyll, the name and the quest associated. I really don't do enough dungeon delving, though, so I am not familiar with too many Ayleid ruin names out there.

Malada, AKA "The High Fane". It's one of the names I always remember.

...and Vindasel always makes me think of Vin Diesel.

Lindai (is that how you spell it?)

I think that's included in the Easter Eggs of the UESP. I noticed that too

Usually, me too, but I've recently been trying to squeeze the most out of my game and visit as many places as I can

Lindai (is that how you spell it?)

Yeah, spelling is correct. Gotta love Umbacano's quests, even after his betrayal.

* Sercen, because it reminds of "serene." Though the Bandits ruin the peace...
* Anutwyll, because it sounds weird, and I have a character named Twyll.

What about Nenyond Twyll? I actually kind of like that name too.

Seren? Do you mean serene?

Serene as in peaceful :]

There's also Siren's which are female beauties that seduce men with their voice (Or other things)...

Not to be annoying or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's "serene" that means "peaceful". (off-topic, sorry)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Shivering Isles ruins. No one here is a fan of X's?

EDIT: LOL. Female woman.

I still think plain old Vilverin is the best ruin. It's got a cool mini-storyline.

But Wenyandawik, Mackamentain, Fanacasecul, Vahtacen, Sardavar Leed, Garlas Malatar and Ceyatatar have the coolest sounding names. 'Ceyatatar'. Say it. Say it right now.

I like Culotte. I mean, seriously, the French name for a type of female underwear? Kekekekeke. Also, unless you approach the statue's room, it's completely empty, which makes it a perfect place to live in, and it's small too, which is a plus.

Alternatively, Bawn. I just find the name funny.

I fixed it, but if OB had gays, it'd be accurate :]

Nord female = Male woman

To redirect the offtopicness...I think the ruin is Silorn/Cinathar. Which is of no interest to me rather than the loot :]

now that i think about it that one has a kool name

-Sonix

my fave 2 are Lindai and Nenalata. I've got 2 ayleid crowns and a full set of elven armour on my high elf, so it looks like i'm an ayleid conqueror!

EDIT: Trumbe is a good one, it sounds like your trying very hard to fart.
EDIT 2:Lindai=Lin die!

there is a cave that has a wooden door behind a waterfall and inside there are ghost pirates and a secret room with a boat and stuff, the name of it eludes me though...

That would be the Dunbarrow Cove DLC, I think. Which we PS3 users don't have, grrrr... I hate you, Microsoft.

lol. come to the dark side(microsoft).....we have cookies!

I know the one your talking about but it's a different one, i think if i remember right, it is east of chorrol and the door is hidden by a waterfall, and you find 2 switches i think and when you activate them ghosts appear and there's a secret passage to a pirate ship and other ghost-like pirates. It's not dumbarrowcove though...

The only other dilapidated ghost ship I can think of (besides the obvious one in Anvil) is east of Bravil, in the Mouth of the Panther. It's connected to the Forlorn Watchman quest. Hm, I should check the caves near Chorrol, but I think you're just confusing cities...

You also have the Red Ring of Death. I'll pass.

My favorite is Vindasel. Vindasel, Vin Diesel... I think you see the connection. If only they made a Chuck Norris ruin.

Probably ninendava. I think I spelled that wrong though

I love Underpall cave, and Rockmilk...I guess I like those since I associate the good loot I've gotten from them.
