    Called it! VoM duking it out against CoA2. Though I did think Skoria would put up more of a fight. Both dungeons are excellent examples of how good ESO can be. Now, where's VoM2?

    Just no.....

    Shoulda been Fungal Grotto I
    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

    Vaults of Madness is my favourite dungeon, so a no-brainer for me! Can't stand City of Ash 2 apart from the last boss.

    Tell that the person, who opened 10 Polls a Day. Didn't see you complain there.😆

    Anyway, I voted for Vaults of Madness, because I just love the Endboss and the Jumping Parts. It's designed so well, good job Mad Architect.😉

    I mean, it's somewhat obvious what dungeon will win, but the decision - for me - was closer than the result will indicate. It's more like 6:4 on a 10er scale, not 10:0. :)

    Yeah, but I also meant that for my vote. I can only vote black-or-white (or rather, red-or-purple :D ).

    *looks at the 120 votes on this poll, not even halfway into the voting period*

    I mean, I understand why most people just vote instead of vote AND respond, but you can't really claim that "not many people participate", unless you think 120 people is "not that many".

    I would also submit that these provide a little bit of levity (which I think we could all use at this point in time) amidst the infinity-bajinity "THIS GAME IS DYING" threads.

    Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. *shrug*

    Interesting matchup for the final. While I disagreed with the outcome of the earlier rounds, it really has come down to my favorite base dungeons.

    I have multiple toons with the Deadlands Adept title. I still have my first ever v14 Skoria helm, back when it was the only dungeon that dropped v14 helms. It remains enjoyable to play.

    But VoM gets my vote. The aesthetics, the fights, the story, the copious looting, the long fall with great scenery. VoM is still great. It’s easy enough for players of almost any skill level to complete on Vet, and the mechanics are just hard enough to force them to pay attention and learn. In round three I said that Vaults had a real chance of winning this, and I stand by that.

    I’ve enjoyed these polls, as usual @Saucy_Jack I hope you’ve enjoyed doing them. Keep it up!

    Got to sort of agree with that guy who was complaining about these polls. They are getting a bit annoying. I don't get why you need to split them up and drag it out into a long winded dragged out contest. I normally just don't bother voting in them because it seems like it never ends and it makes very little sense how you present them.

    Don't get me wrong, I liked your videos you made a while back Saucy_Jack, they made me smile and it's cool you try to do your part in the community, but yeah just my feed back on these polls. I don't mean any dis respect or baiting for a response. I've held this opinion for some time now but kept it to myself, but since that other guy raised the point, thought i'd give my thoughts. But whatever.

    Not looking for a fight or anything like that. Just one guys opinion here :-p If you enjoy it, and others enjoy it, and it's not against the rules then keep knocking out a million more polls. But you must get it's going to kind of annoy some people.

    Well, at least these polls are a nice and light-hearted break from the current editions of all the "animation cancelling is literally killing the game!!11!1!", "I got killed in PvP, nerf the thing that killed me", "fake tanks/healers/dds and how everyone except me is bad at this game", "I play this game for waaaay too many hours, now overland is too easy" spam. :D
