What’s your favourite base game zone? Here is mine…
My first playthrough was a character in the Ebonheart Pact. I really liked Shadowfen because I thought it was cool that we got to explore some of Black Marsh. Nothing stood out much story wise though, except slowly becoming the champion of the Skald King.
I next played through the Daggerfall Covenant storyline. I really enjoyed the dynamic with High King Emeric. The zones set in Hammerfell were beautiful and Rivenspire ended up taking my number one spot for zone story. It was soooo well done and I had a lot of fun.
However, now that I’m playing through the Aldmeri Dominion, I have to say that Greenshade might be my new favourite zone. Even though it’s “just a bunch of trees and greenery” I do find a lot of the areas are very pretty. But the main zone story involving the Wilderking and Aranias was such a deep story and it made me cry (I’m not afraid to admit it 🥲). And then doing the small quest with the old Bosmer couple, where one of them asks you to retrieve some seeds for the beautiful blue flowers so he can plant them in memory of his husband. I started crying again.
Also the quests at the Shrouded Vale and Shadows Crawl had some very difficult choices to make. And the quest at the Labrynth to help the Hollow Man based there learn about his past.
Wow I love this zone so much and I’m not even halfway through!
I’m curious to know if you agree with me, or if anyone feels so strongly about another zone? :)
