Will Deshaan desh out the pain to Clockwork City? Or will the realm of Sotha Sil be the zone with the big brass balls? YOU DECIDE!

Each of these bouts will last two days, so this one ends around noon CST (5pm UTC) on January 17th. FIIIIGHT!

All Hail Saucy Jack!

Clockwork City

Hmm... Two Dunmer-zones pitted against each other? That both have my favorite Dunmer Raynor and Kireth Vanos?

In that case I'll have to go with Clockwork City's general uniqueness, because the Brass Fortress is pretty awesome. Sotha Sil is really interesting as a character, too, and... well, steampunk. Also Evergloam is kinda incorporated into CC, which is pretty damn nice, as well

Clockwork City

CWC is the best zone in the entire game for me, bar none. The story, the characters, the environment... everything.

Nairinhe · January 15

Deshaan

CWC has this unsettling, apocalyptic, Fallout-y vibe and is generally disturbing.

vestahls · January 15

Clockwork City

Clockwork City is beautifully done, but most importantly the music is really lovely. No other zone in the game matches it yet.

Starlock · January 15

Clockwork City

Yup, no contest. It's among the best content of the game.

Cirantille · January 15

Ugh I pass

Both are ugly

Clockwork City

CWC hands down. lets see a poll with CWC & Wrothgar

SeaGtGruff · January 15

Deshaan

Clockwork City is definitely one of the most-- if not the most-- unique zones in the game.

But Deshaan has 3 times as many delves, plus a public dungeon, and 3 times as many group bosses. In terms of the amount of playable and replayable content, there's no comparison.

Beardimus · January 15

Neither, hate both zones.

Ohtimbar · January 15

Deshaan

Meant to vote CWC, but they’re both fab. It’s a win-win.

Epic. Zone. Battlesoftam-rioohhhhhh

max_only · January 15

Clockwork City

Not even a hesitation in my mind!

Almalexia vs Sotha Sil? She can take her old fashioned high and mighty golden keister to oblivion! Also this:

SPEAK to me before you enter Mournhold “citizen”

Peak rude Dunmer I want to slap their mouth every time.

Clockwork City

Two Dunmer zones? What's a Dunmer-lover to do? My characters hangout a lot in Mournhold but I love CWC! I need time to think about this one.

Edit: The crows told me to pick CWC.

Hapexamendios · January 15

Deshaan

Mournhold is probably my favorite city.

Cloudtrader · January 16

Clockwork City

Clockwork is one of my favorite zones. It's such a unique look! Also, it has the only robot Guild Trader.

Michae · January 16

Clockwork City

I love the mechanical stuff from TES games, be it Dwemer or Sotha Sil's creations. I was disappointed in how Deshaan looks on my first playthrough. Mournhold was really bland and didn't have the unique feel it deserved. The rest of the zone is just typical starter zone stuff, green hills with lakes, boring stuff. DLC zones always win in my book since they are more polished and unique, and using just better quality models.

Aliyavana · January 16

Clockwork City

Cwc has a nice and intended theme of being synthetic and hopeless. A land where many people are trapped there against their will, and with creatures that are designed primarily to be carnivorous since vegetation has difficulty growing there.

FrancisCrawford · January 16

Clockwork City

Close call.

Deshaan is the only zone in all of the EP with generally good quests.
I chose to replay the whole Clockwork City quest line on a second character, which I've never done for Deshaan -- but part of that was about the skill points.
Deshaan has cool Morrowind-like vegetation -- but Vvardenfell is now in the game as well.
The only house I've ever paid crowns for was the Clockwork City one.
But while the look is imaginative, Clockwork City is somewhat ... monochromatic.
Some of the robot jokes are pretty funny. ("How may I detain you today?")
When it's farming time I often choose Deshaan, but that's mainly about the set drops.
As a patriotic American, I love that the villain Chancellor Gascone was modeled on Donald Trump. (Not only does Gascone rant about immigrants, but he insists that his subordinates flatter him lavishly.)
I don't think the poor-oppressed-underclass stuff worked in Clockwork City nearly as well as it did in Daggerfall, but I don't mind that they tried.

Deshaan

Not a fan of either zone, Deshaan I guess.

SidraWillowsky · January 16

Clockwork City

When it came down to it, Almalexia won by killing Sotha Sil, but... details! CWC WINS

mrsrobot · January 17

Sorry its literally 50/50 for me. I really love Deshaan, Clockwork city is very novel and cool and Deshaan is beautiful. Too hard to call.

peacenote · January 17

Clockwork City

Wow. Extremely close. Mournhold is my home, but as an overall zone I have great memories in CWC.

Saucy_Jack · January 17

And Clockwork City turns the clock forward!
