Really, How is it possible to choose?

For me I guess it's the places that are beautiful and/or are not "easy" to get to. So,...

Tyria:
- Dreadnaught's Drift (the corner where Maw the Mountain Heart spawns)
- Abaddon's Mouth mission, when you're walking away from the seer there's a stunning Volcano
- Fisherman's Haven

Cantha
- The Gothic-looking building above the warrior boss Tarnen the Bully - That's a stunning building.
- House Zu Heltzer.
- Tahnnakai Temple (Explorable)...I feel it's quite an achievement to get to Imperial Guardsman Yang.

Elona
- Kodash Bazaar and outlying explorable towns. It's really nice to have an explorable area which is "civilised" to wander round and enjoy.
- The Throne of Secrets...and the views off the edge into the darkness.
- The Crystal Overlook, by the Forgotten Guardian. Mainly just a sense of being totally alone. Miles from anywhere and on the "boundary" of two great continents. The Crystal Overlook is a fantastic place in general...

I'd have to go with Dragon's Gullet in the far northern reaches of Ascalon. It's not THAT well-known, and it is actually quite beautiful in a strange way. It's basically a HUGE lake of tar, with ruins scattered from place to place. The sky is pretty too.

I have to say you're mad

I went there to explore. Never again. The scenery, background music and enemies just wanted to make me kill myself.

I have always liked the carnival looking caravan in pre.

I forgot the Citadel of Dzagon. It reminded me of the Fortress of Jahai, but much larger.

I second Dragon's Gullet. Part of the reason is because there are huge ruins there and perhaps the Tomb of Drascir is in that area as well...

Crystal Overlook is a very different place. I didn't do a lot of exploring there, mostly just to capture Shattering Assault, but you can definitely feel like you're close to the Crystal Desert, somehow.

Anything in Maguuma is beautiful.

I remember when me and my boyfriend would go down into The Falls to farm for some totem axes and fans, the views there are absolutely beautiful. ^^

There's also some places around in Cantha, but my mind ATM is dead. Lol. xD

Ohh yes. Pre-searing has got to be the most gorgeous part of the Prophecies campaign. That and those birch trees in the Shiverpeaks. Oh and the beacon waaaay at the top of Beacon's Perch. That's very picturesque.

That's where you say "Find me and you get money!" And you give them 1g.

Love it.

I NEEEEED to go visit Dragon's Gullet, the Lornar's Pass temple, and..... Tahnnakai Temple Explorable. >_< I hope I don't forget.

Tears of the Fallen. It's only the greatest zone ever.

Kuldebar Valiturus · Jan 17, 2007, 02:44 AM // 02:44

I nominate Melandru's Garden in pre-seared Ascalon.

You usually won't come across it unless you are specifically looking for it. It's tucked away and can only be reached via a secluded entrance.

Teger · Jan 17, 2007, 06:56 AM // 06:56

definatly The Deep. Some of it makes for just amazeing screenshots, such as my current desktop background of the big worm/fishy after it broke free of the jade.

this area in the realm of torment..i forget where....where you see these gigantic pre-historic remains of some kind of bug with hundreds of torment claws for legs and a giant head at the end. there is actually two of these in the zone. they are HUGE and eerie to look at.

escoffier · Jan 17, 2007, 05:10 PM // 17:10

i always loved the evil look of the ring of fire especially ember light camp those skull faces are great,kc was a amazingly designed beautiful city and lately i've found myself in kodash bazaar and all around vabbi just because of how cool it looks.

Alleji · Jan 17, 2007, 05:31 PM // 17:31

The Arid Sea
The Vault
The Falls
Dry Top
Mineral Springs
Mourning Veil Falls
Poisoned Outcrops

+1 for Melandru's garden. It has this eerie, almost mystical feel about it, the broken down buildings, swamps, and shafts of light, makes you wonder who lived there, and why was it abandoned?

Majesty's rest, although horrible to fight through, is a rewarding experience.

SuperNomad · Jan 17, 2007, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Pre-searing Ascalon was fantastic, I especially liked Foible's Fair and the area surronding it, was very sad when I got into post-searing and it had gone. Yak's Bend I thought was fantastic. The Southern Shiverpeaks are also excellent, I especially like Mineral Springs because you have the feeling of being miles away from anywhere, loved capping elites there. Twin Serpent Lakes are also good, because there not on your travels, you have to explore them entirely at your own desire.
