Madman97, is there a reason you didn't mention Windhelm at all in this blog? I mean it is the oldest of the cities(i believe) and i though it looked pretty cool. I jst think Windhelm looks so tall and makes me feel a bit claustrophobic when i'm in it. Plus it has a big bridge so that was neat. But yeah it could have been better like the rest of Skyrim, they were going to add an Arena to Windhelm, sucks that they didn't.

Also Riften is an ok City, it feels very much like a port city(with the outside port) and the rataway gives the city 2 lvls even though the bottom doesn't have much, i wish they added something down there that made you go there once an a while, onlything interesting there was the alchemy shop. Also the architecture of Riften is diferent from all the other cities, i'm not saying its good, because it isn't its ok at best, but atleast it is different.

For me the Minor Holds are the most useless cities, if it wasn't for a few side quests i wouldn't even go to them. Falkreath is supposed to have a HUGE graveyard filled with hundreds of Nord Heros, it has like what? 2 dozen graves at most, disapointing. Morthal is just meh incarnate, nothing there stands out, coolest thing in that craphole was the fact it was in a swamp so it had a neat lawout, super disapointing. Dawnstar is supposed to be a major port of the Empire, it barely qualifies as a port at all, i kind of like the various mines that are in the city i think its interesting, other than that its just lost potential, disapointing. Winterhold, was a major hold and it was all destroyed, if not for the college no one would even go there, they could have atleast made the building there have the same architecture from the college, to make the "city" stand out, disapointing.

So all in all the Minor holds are just huge disapointments, luckly there are mods that fix some of the minor holds and make them stand out. Immersive Settlements fixes Dawnstar, Falkreath, Morthal. Dawnstar looks really cool with this mod, Falkreath too.
