    Rivenspire is hands down my favorite zone in the base game and against anything but Vvardenfell it would win by a big margin. But damn, Morrowind was my first TES game and going there brings it all back so Vvardenfell it is.

    I'm pretty much in the same boat. I really love Rivenspire, it's by far one of the best, if not the best vanilla zone in the game. But the Morrowind throwback (which was my first TES as well) that Vvardenfell does for me, is just too strong.
    This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family!

    Honestly I'm not a big fan of either, but if I would choose a zone I would quest in all over again I would choose vvardenfell. I'm not that interested in brown, darker brown and some more brown which is basically the entire rivenspire zone, awesome story line though.

    Vvardenfell is easily my favourite zone in the game. I love the architecture, the giant mushroom high fantasy look which is so different from anything else, the storyline and nostalgia. Vivec is my home crafting base and Ald Velothi is my main residence.

    Bit mean to compare Rivenspire to a DLC zone... Rivenspire is amazingly atmospheric and has some great quests (the quest with the repentant guy who donates to orphanages and is holed up is funny AF), however I must reluctantly put my vote down for Vvardenfell.

    Funny though, I thought of Rivenspire just recently when I considered starting a 'weirdest, most nonsensical ESO quest' thread (which I don´t have time for). If you haven´t done it, there is a quest in Rivenspire called 'Ancient Power' which has a pretty good backstory - in fact IMO they should not have wasted it on a sidequest but it almost deserves its own game or at least a DLC pack. However they then completely dropped the ball on the quest implementation and writing, making it not having any kind of sense whatsoever. Read on but spoiler alert:
    Basically, there is a relic called the Tear of Anurraame. What does it do you ask? It bloody destroys entire cities! Oh and what does Montclair do in order to get it and blow up the Daggerfall Covenant? Well, he... sends a few people. Not an army, to get this insanely powerful relic... just... a few troops. Who then put it... on a dinghy!??! Oh and what does the Mages´ Guild do in order to, again, stop this amazingly powerful death star weapon? They send their most incompetent mage. Deliberately.

    WHO WRITES THIS STUFF!?!??!

    I'm still peeved that Vvardenfall shrank in the wash since TES III. I cannot forgive that.

    Also ... Rivenspire.... Darien Gautier.

    Gotta go Rivenspire
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I wonder how much of Vvardenfell's success comes from nestalgia from Morrowind?

    IMO this poll should of been Summerset vs Vvardenfell.

    Comparing a faction zone to a DLC area wasn’t a good match up.

    Both have great questlines, Rivenspire has topless Da(d)rien and his bread... Vvardenfell has no doubtedly got the best music out of all of the zones and the bard songs, don't get me started on them! Rivenspire has the best questline in the DC zones, Morrowind has one of the best DLC storylines (Clockwork is a bit behind it and Summerset is right at the top).
