Cities are one of the many staples of the Elder Scrolls franchise. But which is your favorite city per game, and which is your favorite city in the entire franchise? I've only played Oblivion and Skyrim(Online is on my Christmas list and Morrowind might have to wait until it's selected for backwords compatability for the Xbox 1) so for my choices, I'll have to choose from cities from those games. Note, your favorite city in the entire franchise doesn't neccisarily mean it has to be your favorite city per game, because for favorite per game, judge based on all cities in the game. For favorite in the franchise, judge based on every city in Tamriel that you know.

For Oblivion, you'll find this an odd choice, but my favorite city is Leyawiin. Being a Khajiit player, I feel comfortable around other Khajiit, and this city gives me plenty oppurtunity to be around other Khajiit. I also like it that there are few humans living in Leyawiin, meaning it's the only city in Cyrodil where humans are the minority race, with Khajiit and Argonians making up the majority. I also like how much the city feels like a giant garden, creating a feeling of living with nature. I've found Blackwood to be a pretty rainy and stormy place, but I also like it that the NPC's don't care if it's rain or shine.

For Skyrim, my favorite city is Solitude. It seems the most lifelike of all the Skyrim cities, I like the look and feel, and I like the NPC's. It feels the most comfortable and luxorious of all the Skyrim cities making it feel welcoming to me, even though when you arrive, yous see someone get executed. Solitude is one of the reasons I always side with the Empire in the Civil War, besieging it feels wrong to me. Windhelm is also a fun city, but it needs Imperial Aid to solve it's problems. As for favorite in the entire series, that would have to go to the Imperial City. Sure there are not as many Khajiit here as in Leyawiin, but there's so much to do. Bet at the arena, sleep in luxorious inns, and the main quests set in the city are also a lot of fun. What about your favorite cities?
