I got this game when it first came out and started a character with the Ebonheart pact, I hated Stonefalls with a passion, I mean the game was terrible back then and I can't really remember why but I remember this area just being tedious to explore and horrible to look at.
Fast forward a year and a bit and I decided to play again with a new character as I'd heard good things and went with the Daggerfall covenant and I absolutely loved Glenumbra. I liked that it had a constant forest theme through out, Rivinspire has a really nice area with windmills which was fairly breathtaking when I first saw it. On max sometimes with the lighting effects and the setting everything just comes together perfectly.
I've just started Caldwells silver in Auridon and again it is such a pleasure to explore, everything about it just works, colours, geography and architectuse just all go together really well. I really like Abdahs landing as well.
I guesstimate I've only been to about a third of the games areas so what else do I have to look forward to or which areas do you really like?

    Wrothgar for me has some really cool set pieces to explore and find but as a complete area it doesn't work for me, it feels more of a chore trying to get from one point to another.

    Glenumbra

    Always wanted to see what Daggerfall and the surrounding areas looked like (TES 2 player)

    Still disappointed that there's no Gothway Garden

    I can't really say what my favorite was, but I know how much I hate when I cannot climb a cliff or tree >.< It especially sucks in zones that block you off constantly with cliff walls you cannot scale... Yeah that's right I'm looking at you Valenwood >.> Also parts of Auridon.

    I really like Craglorn and the Alik'r desert in terms of design and landscape, they're very pretty.

    Also love the Daggerfall areas mainly because I did Auridon too many times and I also hated Stonefalls OP I played Beta in EP and hated the lava and all the insectoid creeps...

    I love Glenumbra, but recently i was fishing in Hew's Bane along the beach. It was where the clusters of foul water spots are and as i fished i realized that the view was awesome. The herons fishing around me and the palm trees near by. I actually turned off the UI and snapped a screen shot. Its now my desktop wallpaper. :)

    My favourite place in game is Eastmarch and The Rift. Both amazingly gorgeous places. I love the snowbound landscapes, the feeling of absolute peace and tranquillity.

    However, the Alik'r also has a strange beauty to it, and again, that feeling of isolation and peace.

    I haven't been to that area yet, definitely will have to check it out when I get around to properly doing the dlc. Some of the areas are designed beautifully, you just have to stop a moment and take it in :)

    Wrothgor for me, like Hew's Bane but far to small.

    Good exploration in Wrothgar and Hew's Bane for harvesting mats, provisioning needs and treasure chests as well as grinding for XP. Hew's Bane when I need a temp change of scenery from Wrothgar. Also still good to mess around with the world bosses there. Yet, was wishing there are dolmens in Wrothgar and Hew's Bane.. and the Gold Coast. That would make it better. Gold Coast is just too small to get a good exploration feel, but still good to go back and do the dailies.
