    Not particularly ugly but I hate that zone the most. It's pretty boring as it is all the same forest and the shortest route between 2 points is always blocked by a mountain. Countless of hours were spent looking for a route to the quest location.

    totally agree,while the surroundings are beautiful,the way is blocked by tree roots,rocks,canyons etc

    I never really disliked any of the maps. Maybe Rift. Never cared for the feeling of autumn of that map. And there are way too many sabre tooth beasts. Also, i never saw much in Reapers March. Which was a nice contrast, because it offers the best stories in all of ESO.

    Alik'r: Enormous desert, too much sun and sand, sweating like a Nord in the sauna, not enough shade,...
    Stonefalls is a close second, since I hate hot places (can't handle the heat well :p )

    Cyrodiil, it's so bland and empty

    Edit: also because it's known as "horse riding simulator".

    I love Cyrodiil. The emptiness is one of its charms.

    That's how I feel about Grathwood! A friend of mine says "You can't get there from here."

    OP, I don't know about ugly, but my least favourite is Grathwood. All the others have some sort of charm.

    To me Rivenspire is the ugliest place in all of Tamriel. Soon as it's released, I'll put Vvardenfell a close second. Too many giant mushrooms in what feels like claustrophobic space. At least Stonefalls has a more open landscape, so the mushrooms aren't quite so visually oppressive.

    I think all the zones are well done. I find the AD zones to be too bland/same-ish though. Its all green, apart from Reapers March which is just plains and savannah. Auridon is all just too pink and fluffy.

    My favourite zone is Rivenspire, especially now that I get the Dark Brotherhood soundtrack up there (Glenumbra does this as well?). The storyline of Rivenspire is also possibly the best one in game.

    A close second favourite would be Eastmarch, love snowy landscapes.

    Third would be Alik'r, It seems a vast and unforgiving landscape. I have actually bought costumes that I use when my character has reason to be there.

    Not a big fan of Jungle/swamps so least favourite has to be Shadowfen, Grahtwood and Malabal Tor.

    Greenshade, Shadowfen and Cyrodiil.
    Cyrodiil is just uninspiring for a PVP zone of such scale. Needs to look different from one part to another.

    Whoever said Stonefalls never played Morrowind, huh? I had a shower of joy overcoming me, when I first saw the lava and the mountain.

    My vote goes to Glenumbra or Stormhaven. Bad Story, dull landscape.

    "Ugly" is a probably a little too strong a word, but I couldn't wait to be done with Alik'r.

    I say cold harbor.

    ColdHarbour is actually kinda cool, in a nostalgic, steam-punkish gothic kind of way, if you're into that sort of thing. I think Shadowfen is hands down the crappiest place in ESO, thus far. Rivenspire will follow, and I would put Stonefall neck and neck with that. Ha ha

    Stonefalls. It looks super boring.

    And to make it even worse it is the home to my least favorite race (dunmer).

    How is it possible to say "least favorite" and "Dunmer" in the same sentence???

    Dunmer are superior to every race, including the Aedra-loving Altmer and the N'wah "Pact races". All shall fall captive to the banner of House Telvanni.

    Compared to the glorious Morrowind, every zone "looks super boring". What is the point in living if you are not surrounded by beautiful fungal growths??!

    I must conclude by saying that the only good N'wah is a shackled one (especially scaleback)!

    I hate Rivenspire and Bangkorai because you 'have to' follow a certain road to get around the map the first time. Not just run straight to your wanted location. Bloody mountains.

    Is that where the music came from? I noticed the change, but I've never done the DB storyline.

    Best part of going to Rivenspire.

    What's considered ugly here? The overall appearance or the design or the layout? Disregarding the trolls there still seem to be some who equate ugly with personal appeal. I like Auridon but I suppose someone who dislikes birthday cakes may disagree. I dislike Stros M'Kai because it makes me feel like I'm trudging through sand and Bleakrock because I feel like I'm trudging through snow but they both succeed at being the environment they are meant to be. And on that note I don't think any zones are ugly. They are what they are supposed to be. If everything looked the same with just a different color palette everyone would complain about it.

    None of them are especially ugly, but some zones feel a bit generic, like Glenumbra, Stormhaven and Auridon. Cyrodiil might also be considered a kind of generic high fantasy terrain, but I love it because it reminds me of Oblivion.

    If you've seen some of the footage I imagine most agree Vvardenfell will be the most beautiful zone by far. Other environments I liked a lot were Rivenspire, Stonefalls, Alik'r , Coldharbour, Wrothgar, Deshaan
