I voted for Bruma. But I also love Cheydinhal and Skingrad. I'm pretty fond of Chorrol too. And I'm not impartial to the charms of Anvil either.

The Imperial City is actually the only town I really dislike.

Because of lack of people or the layout?

It's the art design and layout of the city that I can't stand. It's my second-least favorite city in all the Elder Scrolls games (Mournhold is my all-time least favorite). I can't stand the place. I hate high walls in real life and I hate them in video games as well.

I think there are enough NPCs in the IC to make the place feel plausibly populated. In fact, the few times I've tried to use mods that add NPCs to the IC I've had to uninstall them. Too many NPCs all simultaneously chattering away about the same three or four topics gets on my nerves real fast.

In my head, I've been in the habit of seeing the I.C. populated with a lot of peasants and workers, keeping the streets clean, cobbling shoes, repairing abberations in the walls and street, and stuff like this. The NPCs we actually see in-game (the ones who mosey about talking all the time) are mostly higher classes. The lower classes don't stop to chit chat and conversate, they mostly just work.

If any of you have seen the way Assassin's Creed does it: the town is packed with NPCs of all classes, kinda/sorta, to the point that people occasionally have to squeeze to get by one another. This is what I mean.
