Favorite: Daggerfall
Best looking: Alikir Desert (big desert fan, so new, never been to a place like this in a scrolls game)
Storyline: Rivenspire (I love the dark tone)

Best looking: AD (though I love Eastmarch and Bleakrock, the snowy areas look really cool, especially at night)
Best story line: None stands out as being better than the others

I heard it's beautiful, what kind of environments does it have? I've been through Ebon and dagger only

Covenant. So many great characters and stories. I was originally dominion. But the covenant storyline blows theirs out of the water.

Especially rivenspire.

I love the Daggerfall Covenant, regions, story, culture, all of it. Nice variety of landscapes and cultures keeps me from getting bored and I have never complained to myself about the regions or people seeming like a drag.

AD is pretty much the most classically "elfy" zone... lots of sun and really pretty architecture, with lush jungles thrown in.

Personally, I vote Ebonheart, because Morrowind is very much home for me. The Skyrim sections, not so thrilled about (I live in a climate that is snowed in half the year... I don't need that in my games XD ), but for the chance to play in Deshaan? I'll take it.

Daggerfall Covenant:
Overall the best storyline in my opinion. It actually feels like you are going through a consistent story. Plus High King Emeric is a very relatable character. It's zones have the more interesting characters and variation of all the alliances.

Favourite zone:
I liked Rivenspire the most, with the Alik'r as a close second. Rivenspire is probably my favourite zone to play through in the whole game. I like the dark fantasy atmosphere. Seeing the group dungeon Crypt of Hearts with its towers piercing through the fog in the distance, while standing on a barren plain with sharp rocks and dead trees. It really gives you a feeling of darkness. It is also one of the few stories that stuck with me after playing through it and I can still remember most of it's characters and the moral choices I had to make.

Least favourite zone:
I suppose Stormhaven. A bit boring storywise and the terrain doesn't offer much variation. I love the city of Wayrest though. One of the few cities in the game that feel like an actual capital.

Aldmeri Dominion:
Comes in at a second place on overal story. I like how you are in the service of the queens elite and I did get the feeling of being on a quest throughout the AD lands. But it didn't really trigger me and there weren't that many character that stood out to me, except maybe that Raz guy. It was the zone I looked forward to playing the most when I was still going through DC. I love dark, tight and gloomy jungles, especially at night. I remember walking around in the Greenshade marsh area at night, with all the daedra around. That looked really nice. Plus lore wise it seemed really interesting. A bit poor variety in zones sort of spoiled it in the end though. Glad when I came out of the forest and into the more open lands of Reapers March.

Favourite zone:
I suppose this has to be either Malabal Tor or Reapers March. Malabal tor felt like a genuine wilderness to me and was at times a pain to travel through, which actually was nice in my view. Reaper's march is a more unique looking zone with a refreshing story line. It also had a lot of fun quests, like the arena for example. It also has one of the best group delves in the game. That big manor with the underground tunnel system was awsome. But there is something like too much Khajiit nonsense in the end. Every single NPC with a different weird way of speaking... blegh. Nothing will ever beat the Skyrim Khajiit voice actor.

Least favourite zone:
Definately Auridon. What a boring drag. Looked boring and bland to me, and felt like I was going through the queens garden in stead of the wilderness. Plus all the quests there are either 'save this town' or 'free the spirits in this ruin'. Not interesting at all.

Ebonheart Pact:
Very weak overal story. Didn't feel like there was one for the longest time. It sort of blended in with the other zone quest and I found myself wondering more often than not whether I was on a story quest or just some random chain. Not many memorable characters at all. Visiting Almalexia again was cool though and I also found it very interesting to get more familiar with Argonian lore. The zones were okay I suppose, but nothing was really nice in my opinion.

Favourite zone:
I have Stonefalls and Shadowfen as my most liked. Stonefall was cool to go through with its many daedric ruins and lava rivers and Shadowfen provided a nice change of pace. I expected more of Shadowfen though in terms of design. Plus I hated how overpopulated it was. Frakking crocodiles giving me a heart attack.

Least favourite zone:
Probably The Rift. Man that was just a boring drag overal. Don't really remember much of the story and it felt really bland and uninteresting to me.

I won't comment on the story since I've only played DC story so far.

Best environments:
Rivenspire
Alik'r
Auridon - for the coast, not the terrible architecture

Worst environments:
Glenumbra/Stormhaven - far too similar, and looks kinda low quality compared to other zones. I wonder if these were among the first zones ZOS created.
Anywhere in Valenwood - this engine cannot handle dense forests and jungle, so they created a sparse one instead. Looked nothing like the concept art, and nothing like Valenwood is described in the lore. No moving trees either. If you're not going to do it right, then just don't do it at all.

Aldmeri Dominion is clearly superior and better in every way. Although the Veiled Heritance should have succeeded or Aryenn could at least learn to be tougher on things and not bend to everyone's will and whining.

Favorite story zone is Craglorn.

I love the some settings and environments in Ebonheart Pact, like Deshaan, Stonefalls and Bal Foyen. But the story beyond Deshaan/Stonefalls is rather dull and too much drunken Nords and can be taken seriously. You can't always tell if they are being serious, actually having visions or just a bad buzz and hallucinating, and making everything up.

Daggerfall Covenant has the most boring environments and zones, Rivenspire is ok, but rest is too bland.
Story wise it's borderline mentally challenged;
Boo hoo I have nightmares and low self esteem please help me by getting my blanket, nightlight and some warm milk. Oh that's better, oh no I'm still not content with myself and has to go all emo again. Seriously King Emeric is too bi-polar to even rule over (bi)polar bears.

Really wish they expand upon the main story on next dlc though, even though some parts felt really cheesy the total impression was epic.

I think its probably down to personal preference, but for me AD zones are the best looking, and in my opinion the characters in the main story in AD are the best and most likeable, but I think I preferred the overall story in DC during Cadwells gold, I absolutely detest the first couple of EP areas and the quests there bored me to tears

The more time I spend in Stonefalls the more I love the atmosphere.
