    I don't like it visually, but it has so many easy to get skyshards, probably most convenient serpent Mundus and of course drops of necropotence which is always very profitable... while Bleakrock is... well, that dunmer commander was really cute and overall evacuation is well-written with continue in Bal Foyean... other then that I can't remember nothing good about it.

    Bleakrock is my absolute favorite location in the entire game. Love how it looks, love the environment, love everything about it. I still go back and visit when I need to collect mats, even after I finished the questlines.

    I actually like Rivenspire more but it gets too much hype. Over a year of hype for that vampire husbando made it stale when I got there.

    Gah, now I feel awkward for saying that I love this zone especially because of the storyline involving Count Ravenwatch :D

    I do have a soft spot for Bleakrock Isle, though. Not enough to vote for it over Rivenspire but... I do like its snowy viking village charme.
    This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family!

    Rivenspire, because of the main quest... story was very memorable, one of the most engaging in the game, imo. The landscape is not to my liking, maybe except the area around Northpoint--very fitting overall for a Bronte novel though.

    I have always really liked Rivenspire. I'm certain it is because I like vampire stories, and I'm ok with that. :)

    I liked that Bleakrock actually has some sense of complexity (Rana's backstory) as well as some sense of the over-arching plot (the invasion that heralds the later ones in Bal Foyen and Stonefalls).

    Much as I hate Nords and Snow, it feels a lot better than Rivenspire does. Rivenspire in ESO reminds me of Moria in LoTRO. Both were places that I was very happy to be able to leave, and I had several characters that got that far before my motivation ran out.

    Rivenspire is so dark that you don't need a colour printer to print a screenshot. Bleakrock is rather bright, snowy and provides a good source of nodes to harvest. After a few months of running there I know every chest without a map.

    Yep. Unforgettable !

    I really liked the main and side quests, and they even managed to make a "friendly vampire" NPC that didn't get on my nerves. Plus, Darien. And Daggerfall Covenant.

    Bleakrock I found tiny, and a bit boring (the skeever quest was funny, though). And it's all that "Bohoo, the other alliances are sooo eeeevil!" again, that massively grated on my nerves.

    I just don't like Bleakrock more. It bugs me it came out of nowhere and is in weird place on map (Blacklight should be there).

    I intensely dislike vampires. Especially vampires pretending to be your friend. :D

    Bleakrock has one of the better storylines of the original game, and with all the snow, you don't realise so much how barren the 2014 landscapes are.

    But it's a close call - Rivenspire is a full zone, after all.
