The Citadel from Mass Effect

With this playing on repeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLLbzwWam6g

Almost every single demon door in fable has some beautiful or aesthetic location behind it. My favorite is probably the Willow's pick door or the Homestead in fable 2

[–] gerbler 3 points 1 month ago

The demon door in TLC by the pond in the Heroes Guild. I think this might have actually kickstarted my fascination with environment modelling...

[–] SassyRamen 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What about the door where you've gotta get really fat?

[–] Postmortal_Pop 3 points 1 month ago

A twilight forrest with ancient ruins? Absolutely gorgeous! Even the sex dungeon and the cave have a picturesque beauty to them.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 0 points 1 month ago

Or the one you have to eat a bunch of live chicks in front of the door who wants to be repulsed

Skellige in Witcher 3 (minus the monsters). I can't not stop to take in the sights. And the music is *chef's kiss*.

Skellige is nice, but I prefer Toussaint:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I always loved the Kokiri Forrest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's so cozy, so quaint. I just wanna live there in real life, but with like internet and videogames and stuff.

Could I be a terrible pain in the ass and ask you to embed the link I found here? I want to try and get everyone to embed an image so its easy to browse them without googling each on

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I'd drive around the desert in Interstate 76.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 8 points 1 month ago

Minus the spirits I'd probably enjoy kicking around the island from Oxenfree.

Orison in Star Citizen. One of the coolest cloud cities in gaming with some of the most amazing sunsets.

Edit: It's hard to pick a picture that captures the experience (so I picked a few). A video is better, but actually being there in-game is a whole other level. Everything from the bars, food court, living spaces, shipyard and space port add to the experience.

I would go the the safari in Rimworld savanna. Don't want my organs harvested though

[–] MrJameGumb 6 points 1 month ago

The entire Planet Zebes. Just without all the monsters lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I love the Akkala region from Breath Of The Wild/Tears Of The Kingdom!

[–] weirdbeardgame 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Any hub world in the Spyro the dragon games. Summer Forest, Autumn plains, evening lake are some notable ones for me.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 4 points 1 month ago

Most of ghost of Tsushima, I love the Omni monestary

[–] tanisnikana 4 points 1 month ago

Academia 4XX AF from Final Fantasy XIII-2! (It’s also my favorite Final Fantasy.)

With this playing:

Pretty much all of the world of Hollow Knight β€” ie Hallownest. It's just such a cool and immersive world. It contains such cool architecture, design, and environments.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

The reactor level in alien isolation, especially before you return from the lower level. The rain and booming from the cores is oddly comforting, even with murderous androids looking for your head.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I always liked the feudal age, straw roof buildings in AoE2. I almost didn't want to move to castle age because the appereance of the buildings chage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When it's not under threat of being crushed by an angry moon, Clock Town is a very nice place.

Lindblum from Final Fantasy 9 (roman numerals are for goobers)

I adore the concept of a Castle Town where the castle is so big it sorta consumes the entire town. And the whole steam-punk techno-fantasy vibe of the city is extremely pretty.

[–] cheese_greater 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Love Clock Town and castle towns (like Hyrule marketplace or whatever)

Fortree Village in Sapphire is pretty cool too as like a treetop/forestown. Love forest towns

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The forest of the Great Tree, in Tales of Phantasia. Near the starting city (I think that it's Toltus?). It looks beautiful.

[–] Sanctus 3 points 1 month ago

Any area in Sky before the Eye of Eden. That whole game is chill ambient spaces pretty much. Even the scary places (besides the Eye).

[–] JusticeForPorygon 2 points 1 month ago
[–] gerbler 2 points 1 month ago

The city of Zeal in Chrono Trigger. Such a beautiful world if they could just ditch the magical racism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You might enjoy the Any Austin YouTube channel, some of his Unremarkable and Odd places videos.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The Site of Grace right outside the first Magma Wyrm boss, at the top of the cliff-side village in Elden Ring.

Good view, and there are some singing sirens down below you. It's where I sit in my world while doing invasions, since you can't queue for those in the Roundtable Hold (not even down in the lower part where Albrecht invades you which is weird).

Top of the dam near ironforge in classic wow before deathwing had his way with it.
