The

The What is up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome back to Fyrom Up, but this is the Elder Scrolls podcast. I'm Scott here with Michael and Drew as always. And today we have a little bit of a fun sort of challenge one. We are ranking Skyrims cities and that's it.

We're basically going to use using things like we're basically looking, you know,

the aesthetic, the architecture, the kind of look of it, the feel, the vibe, the atmosphere,

but then we can also factor in things like sort of quests and so on and characters

or, you know, even moments or so on. This is largely a subjective list. Yeah. And I guess I'd also say

that it's kind of set during the time that Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim takes place. You know,

hence you said the quests. So we can include, like, law and stuff as well.

But I think at the end of the day, there will be some cities that may have sounded really, really cool in the law.

But we're going to weigh what the reality was when we played Skyrim heavier than what it was meant to be like.

For a place like Winterhold, where the former capital of Skyrim, where half of it has, you know, been a part of that great collapse that destroyed the city, we can't really give it credit for being a formally good city. Wait, wait, wait. You don't have a winter hold in your top three? Yeah. Believe it or not. Hold on. Let's, let's, so's let's be real i don't think personally this is the

first take let's like see we can divide it we can sort of start with even the bottom of the list but

let's just quickly say all the cities are included to you know even the little ones that my

minor cities major cities whatever you want to call them yeah, look, the whole capitals on the list.

Yeah, all of the whole capitals.

And what I was going to sort of say is clearly Marath, Solitude, Wintelham, White Run, and

Rifton are superior in terms of their like execution, their aesthetic stuff.

Like, they have had way more attention to detail and so on.

Maybe I can be swayed either way, but I don't think any of the others really pick up. But let's actually talk about, because I think there would be the bottom of half of the list. The sort of euphal, you're forcary, you morphal, Winterhol, Dawnstar, I think they are the bottom of the list. And personally, I'm going to throw in start us out, I actually think Winterhol is the worst. Like outside of the college of Winterhol, I don't think I agree with that. Because what else, because for me, the personal thing I would say about that with, I know I understand the college winter holds there, but like that's almost like, oh, the factions, like, okay okay it's like a major thing but outside of that

winter hold is like dead there is like one shop and like one bar with barely anything happening in it

yeah i think you have to include the faction headquarters as part of the city for sure like riftin

having the thieves guild is definitely part of it. I mean, simply put,
