What makes exploring fun?

Do you enjoy the scences, The music or maybe over atmosphere?

I love all the tiny little details left by the design team. Those places not marked by anything, with no more story except for what the disposition of the items tells you. Or when the game rewards you for speaking with a specific NPC with some extra info or a quest item found in a dead NPC that attacked you. I also love the funny moments, like when there is a troll under a bridge. Or when, after following a harsh trail, you find an unmarked location, which to top it up, has a giant on top!






I love unmarked places and paths. They often lead to the best experiences

I will say though that it also works the opposite. Like when an NPC tells you about this cool location, you go there, and it's simply closed up, not possible to enter, like Timberscar hollow.

Also, yes, all of the moments I've chosen to depict are from Cyrodill. And that's because I love exploring in Cyrodill. The area hides some amazing stuff for those happy to take the risk. I wish more people took the time to explore Cyrodill (and no, I do not use any addons to tell me where stuff is)
