What's everyone's favourite questline/zone? I'm just finishing summerset up and I'm not sure where I want to go next, interested to see peoples opinion. My personal favourite zone and quest line is rivenspire!

Murkmire. Enjoyable main questline with a good story and interesting characters. Fun side quests. The Argonian lore is very illuminating. Unique swampy environment that really does feel hostile. I can solo the world bosses.

An all-round little gem of a DLC zone.

Either Wrothgar or Summerset's story. They're both really good, but Summerset requires doing Clockwork City, Daggerfall Covenant, and Morrowind to appreciate it better. Wrothgar stands on its own and is probably the best DLC in this game to this day.

Mine would have to be Imperial City hands down. There are so many cool areas and neat places to explore in the zone. ZOS truly did an outstanding job on this zone. Plus I love the mix of PVX.

I enjoyed the Thieves Guild quest line the most. Lots of interesting characters, each with their own uniques foibles, strengths, and weaknesses.

This would be my second choice.

The Drake of Blades is my favorite character, and the excitement of potential spontaneous PvP while doing the quests makes it more interesting.

It did a good job showing the darker, more desperate side of war. Plus the Drake of Blades is an excellent character. I put off doing it because IC was quite intimidating to me before I started PVPing more, but I’m really glad I finally got around to it.

Same.

I was a mostly PvE player when I first set foot in IC, and needless to say, I got steamrolled a few times. But I think the worst part is not knowing your way around, and it's easy to panic when you aren't sure where safety is. And the districts and sewers can be somewhat maze-like in that regard. But once you know your way around and educate yourself on the intricacies of PvP, it's really the most fun you can have in the game.

There is definitely safety in numbers, too. LFGing in zone chat helps, or just going in with friends or guildmates can make it a lot easier. One of my guilds has regular PvE tour events in Imperial City, and they are a lot of fun. Nothing like a group of 24 rolling through the sewers destroying everything in it's path!

Can't determine the favourite one (perhaps, The Tones of the Deep - the one that is coming up to my mind now), but the one that made me sad is the whole Ebonheart Pact solo campaign quest line.. Well, perhaps, that's because I'm one of the old TES players who plays TES games pensively and sees some things the other way some players do.
I'm a Dunmer in TES games - the choice I've been sticking to for all the recent 20 years, and that was not easy to me to watch the Covenant troops destroying towns and villages, occupying Bleakrock and Bal Foyen, murdering so many innocents in Morrowind and Argonia, causing death to so many good characters like Tanval and his son, to watch people becoming mad of great sorrow and performing bad things (I'm speaking of Tanval again here), to watch families losing their relatives and to be unable to invade the Daggerfall Covenant and the Aldmeri Dominion in retaliation after the invaders were fought off. That all was as sad to me as the knowledge of the destruction of Vvardenfell during the Red Year, the Argonian invasion and the losses suffered by Morrowind during that period, the deaths of so many Dunmer caused by the Armistice, etc.

Before starting the EP solo campaign years ago I was aware of the PvP Alliance War in Cyrodiil and was not planning to participate in it - that war has always been the war of the guilds and various tamrielic feudal entities to me, I saw no reason to kill other player characters and NPC in order to support the interests of those entities. Just like the fact that I've never joined the Dark Brotherhood in any TES game because they tried to kill me in TES III 18 years ago, I had reasons not to join the war. The lore and the quests, the application of my sorcerer skills, the ways to correspond to the image of an Ordinator, a member of the Hands of Almalexia Order whom I became after completing the Seal of Three quest, the rivalry with Molag Bal, Mannimarco and his necromancers, the interaction with the other Daedra and activities to support House Dres (the only Dunmeri Great House a player can be affiliated with after completing the Vengeance for House Dres quest) and to weaken House Hlaalu were my only interests there. But I couldn't imagine that the war would also be the plot of the EP solo campaign, that the Covenant and Dominion would be no better than Molag Bal and the necromancers who come just to kill as many of us as possible and ravage our land before taking it. So, the EP solo campaign quest line was the only reason I finally became one of the leaders, field commanders, of a huge PvP guild, and the only reason I've been PvPing in Cyrodiil for all these years that much, killing everyone there under a rival banner be it a PvPer, a roleplayer or a PvEer, propagating to join the Ebonheart Pact and choosing certain options during the Cadwell's quest lines to harm those two Alliances every way possible (like letting a Telvanni spy to steal the blueprints of the Covenant military ships at it's naval base). The EP solo campaign quest line is the only reason I don't make any in-game deals with anyone playing under the Covenant or Dominion banner except only one player on Nirn who has been a friend of mine for 27 years - he's an honest man, a Redguard still bearing that Covenant rag under his name. He is the only exception. Otherwise I see no good in supporting those murderers who came to kill so many of the Dunmer and our Nord and Argonian allies. Unlike the reasonable and fair Argonian Invasion of the 4th Era that we lost in a fair fight, the invasion of these two Alliances is a pure atrocity that should not be supported by any means.

So, since you're not sure where to go next, OP, you can go to Bleakrock Isle and start the EP campaign (if you haven't done it yet) to form your own opinion on the story of great tragedy, suffers and losses the scriptwriters created as if the Dunmeri folk has not suffered enough throughout it's history.

I liked the summerset story
Zone visual aesthetic wise I like elswyer. Granted I hate the open spaces, but I guess rimmen
My fav quest is probably the one where we get the lightning mother's sorrow staff because yeah. I need that .
My go to space where I feel.happy and content though for some reason is grahtwood..it's like a weird home to me .
Auridon makes me sentimental..that's where it started for me . The music makes me sigh in melancholy

Summerset til I die! It’s my home in ESO.

Rivenspire in the basegame. Extremely underrated.

Starlight_Whisper

Elsweyr

Dragons, nercomancers and cats plus Cadwell.

Raideen

Clockwork City. It's the only one I have done multiple times, and take the time to read it.

Aznarb

I'll go in 3 points if you don't mind ^^

- Area : Elsweyr hand down, I was so amazed to travel in North and South for the 1st Time and still, 1 year later, amazed by how beautiful this zone look like, kudo to the artist, even the music is amazing, 100% my style of design.

But somehow Alinor is the only town where I feel I'm at home, it's weird, can't explain it ^^'

- Quest : Hard one, I often don't like any main quest but find than some side quest are absolutely gemme and I'm sur many people never do them sadly.
I don't know the name of it but will try to explain : The one in summerset that made you travel accros time, by far my favorite quest, truly loved it.
The second was in greymoor, despite the horribly boring main quest, 2 side quest (who are related) warmed my heart with the love between a necro girl and the girl of a thane (iirc) of mortal, really good one.
And many other across Tamriel (got memory of good feeling about South Elsweyr side too).
Very hard to choose ^^

For main quest, now than I think a bit more about them, I would said Thief Guild was pretty good in fact.

Oh a last couple of them !
Crow's quest ! Both of them are fun !
1 in clockwork city and 1 in stonefall starting town !

Ok.. ok.. I stop I swear.. Put that gun down :x

Far and away the best executed zone in the game was Orsinium with the exception of the ambient music. That would be a tossup between Summerset and Vvardenfell. But I digress.

Apart from the art direction, which is uniformly outstanding in ESO, what set Orsinium apart was the writing. They had an outstanding writing team that took the Orc theme and just ran with it.

Even the most casual conversations with random NPCs were fun.



And there was plenty of humor. Who can forget the Deechee-Noo quest that too the whole lusty Argonian theme to a hilarious extreme. You need to fetch items for that Argonian mage and everyone you encounter – man, woman, Altmer, Bosmer, Redguard – has a weekly date to *** Deechee.



But it was the core story that was remarkable for a game. First, you had some outstandingly realized characters with vivid dialog.



And these characters developed over time.



Yes, yes, Eveli's reaction to the moral ambiguity is far from deep or profound. But it's still good writing because the character's integrity, as a character, is maintained throughout. She experiences it at her level. Each character reacts consistently with their level of thought and awareness.

And she’s right. There is no good or evil in this story. No Daedra, no undead, none of this they’re-just-evil-that’s-why juvenile pablum. It’s not a fantasy story at all. Kurok has the right idea. He just takes it too far and in ways your character cannot abide. That’s the glaring weakness of ESO in every zone – you have little say in any outcome.

Rather, it’s more like reading a story where you have to kill something to turn the page.

Elsweyr. Beautiful landscape and full of kitties

The Elsweyr Prelude

Tharn is the greatest companion dialogs ever !

" Your sister wants you dead !"
"I have that effect on people, especially my relatives "

IMHO

Jaimeh

My favourites story-wise were Rivenspire and Clockwork City.

Eiregirl

I love doing the quests and have enjoyed all the main quests and a lot of the side quests have been fun. My top 3 main quest lines would be Summerset, Morrowind and Elsweyr but like I said I have enjoyed them all.

Grianasteri

Aesthetically my favorite zone is Summerset. I also love the aesthetics in places like Rivenspire, Eastmarch and W Skyrim. Theyve done a great job.

Story wise, Summerset is also strong. I also liked Wrothgar and Gold Coast.

Ysbriel

Wrothgar and Vvanderfell, actually completed all of wrothgars achievements except the fishing ones and the motifs and i think im still missing the teachings of Vicec from Morrowind.

Nairinhe

My favourite zone is Murkmire, but Wrothgar has absolutely best story. Imagine Greymoor with that level of writing!
