Most atmospheric / beautiful DLC area

    Gold Coast
    I went with Gold Coast, I think I'd change my vote to Hew's Bane now that I think of it. I honestly hate the endless snow and grey of Wrothgar. There are some areas that are ok in that DLC, but the desert-y, coast aesthetic appeals to me so much more than that frozen wasteland. Probably has something to do with living in 90+ temp.s for most of the year. Also I have a thing for Lamia.

    Hew's Bane
    Wrothgar and Morrowind are obviously better DLCs as they are bigger and have a more diverse environment. But I think Hew's Bane has the most beauty packed per square inch.

    Wrothgar
    I've always liked Wrothgar. Especially the area on the snow line. I like how the snow gradually builds up as you go higher, just like real-life.

    The Gold Coast, particularly the sea beaches and environ, remind me of a place I used to live in Australia, south of Perth.

    I think the east coast of Vvardenfell with all the very small island to be very picturesque especially in the evening.

    Hard to choose! I'll have to go with a tie between Clockwork City, Wrothgar, and Morrowind. I thought they were all well-designed.

    The Gold Coast and Imperial City don't really do much for me appearance-wise; and while Abah's Landing in Hew's Bane is one of the most atmospheric cities in the game in my opinion, but I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the zone.

    Gold Coast.

    MIght have voted Morrowind if they hadn't cut my favourite area, the Ashlands.

    Morrowind
    morrowind but remember! morrowind is not a DLC its a chapter ;) $.. SO technically i choose the gold coast but think morrowind is the best..

    Oh and imperial city might be my favorite DLC just because of nostalgia alone.. Visually i would probably say top 3 with the gold coast and **vvardenfell**.

    Couldn't agree more. As a city, Abah's Landing is phenomenal.

    Both the Imperial City and the Gold Coast suffer from being Oblivion areas, for me - I liked Oblivion when it came out but it very quickly grew stale and rather boring. (And those faces. Those faces!)
    Also, tying in to Abah's Landing above, the IC isn't really a city. It's too regular, too identical, too sterile. The Daedric invasion does a lot to make that better, yes, but in turn creates a really depressing atmosphere - now it's not a city because no one lives there anymore.

    I would say vvardenfell if half of it wasnt a volcano that you cant climb, so Wrothgar gets my vote
