    Oh drat... I should have voted for Alik'r. The bots there are typically worse than this Stros. Oh well.

    Not just because it's PvP only, although that was a huge disappointment when I found out, because I was hoping to revist some of my fond memories of Oblivion, but it's also just meh, massive empty fields and isolated settlements with nothing much happening. It just doesn't feel alive. Though perhaps that's because I spend most of my time there dead on the ground :p

    Isn't that the point of Cyrodiil? It's a warzone, of course it looks dead, everything on a giant battlefield dies.

    I voted for Murkmire, because there is no word I could use to describe my hate for Argonians and their dirty living areas...it's all muddy, you can't ride around without getting dismounted every 5 steps, every 2 steps some disgusting insect attacks you...
    Also did I mention that I hate Argonians?

    Terrible. Right behind Shadowfen for least redeeming vanilla zone. The coast is lovely at least.

    While I like most of the Dominion zones in general, Greenshade is bland and boring (except for Marbruk, which is beautiful). They should really rework the zone and add some of the new Elsweyr foliage. Actually, they should rework all of the Valenwood zones' underbrush, as it doesn't feel like a rainforest in most places, it's just too empty. I was rather disappointed the first time I reached Valenwood.
    Also, all those mountains make it annoying to traverse the zone.

    Murkmire is pretty in my opinion, although it's a swamp and I hate Shadowfen.

    Yuck..

    Still shook that people voted Cyrodill for the worst zone just because it's "empty" lol do you even cosider the lag it could have with more objects there to load smh you PvE-ers stick to Northern Elsweyr or something, leave my beautiful Cyrodiil alone.

    Stros M'Kai is just a starter zone-- or half of a zone-- so that's why I voted for it.

    It was a close call, because Cyrodiil is spoiled for me by the existence of PvP. But if that wasn't there I'd like it a lot more than Greenshade.
    The Bosmer part of the Dominion questline was boring (for me). Started out quite well, but was written badly in the progress. Most Bosmer aren't my cup of tea, either. Religious fanatics with a crude culture. No, thanks.
    The landscape isn't up to snuff, either, the forest just feels somewhat gloomy, stuffy, and generic, not majestic and old.
    Plus - it's a nuisance to travel. But that I could accept if I liked the other things about the zone.

    It's just not the same like in Oblivion.
    Also I don't like PVP.
    And too complicated to get there, at least I was clueless when I started out. Not that I missed anything, because I was hoping to get some Oblivion nostalgia. Been there once for a bit, was enough.

    Because Saucy needs an even number to make the "right" kind of Poll.
    So a few have to be taken out beforehand.
