    Have you ever played any games where you could imagine being there, or wanting to being there yourself?

    In IWD1, the scenery of Kuldahar, combined with the music, its like I want to live there. It seems so utopian and paradisical. A small community of immense natural beauty where you can turn summer or winter on or off as you please.

    [​IMG] most games I play I can imagine being there and what it must be like.

    Very few games I'd really want to be there though. Kuldahar and Easthaven perhaps, and maybe Candlekeep. But I suppose so many games are based around difficulty, it can be somewhat detering

    I would love to visit in Icewind Dale. The scenery and some other places (Severed hand comes to mind) are so beatiful. But, if I think more about it, in winter Icewind Dale is mostly just snowy and icy wilderness.

    Right now I feel like I am in Irenicus' dungeon, working my way out into the light while beeing hindered by strange forces each day. Somehow I feel the key is unlocking the friends in the cages...

    *ahem* Nah I haven't wanted to be anywhere in any of the scenarios, mostly cause I am quite satisfied with life here. If I should choose now in retroperspective, I am with either the city of Amn or Kuldahar. And then of course Friendly Arms inn. One collosal pubcrawl. C'mon! lets party like it was 999 Dale recogning! :D

    The Isle/Village of Puerto Pollo like in The Curse of Monkey Island.
    A pittoresque village of retired pirates spending there time on the private beach, the Barbery Coast, restaurants, and duelling-arena's.
    Lots of stories to hear, wonderfull weather, interesting people and a fun place. Stay away from that one pirate called Guybrush, though.

    I would really like to visit the Cloakwood some time. It seems so nice with all those nice colors and the setting is just great :thumb:
