gogoblender 3,070 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Swamp's always been my place. Reflecting turtles still follow me in my nightmares to this day. Olms, hydras, and those crazy paralyzing spiders round everything out. yum gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Might also be worth reading: Favorite Areas in the Game. I've changed my thoughts about many of the regions over the last 5 years, particularly about hating the swamp. I'd say Cursed Forest and Northland are my favorite places to visit now. 1 Link to comment
DaveO 88 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I voted for the Dragon Sea Islands. I do realize this is by far the smallest area in the game, but meeting multiple dragons and having to navigate the underground layout presents a welcome change of pace from all of the other areas. 1 Link to comment
podgie_bear 184 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I'm just an old softie and love Christmas Island. It's not the best place for hacking and slashing, but I always enjoy myself there and it always cheers me up when mass slaughter gets repetitive.

That place is magical, the music is soooooooooooo relaxing...but I hate that "flying-things" (don't know the name in english version) that can deactivate your buffs....I died a lot here!! 1 Link to comment
Popular Post SX255 630 Posted April 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is a tough one. Half the regions on the list are great places to be in. I guess my favorite would be the swamp, even with all its infernal spiders. The enemies with slow effects, the constant gloom and rain. You really do feel like you are in a muddy swamp. I never experienced walking into a village full of friendly werewolves before, and hope to experience it again. 2 Link to comment
LilaGrey 56 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I forgot to say that I voted the Cursed Forest. I like ALL of that region! The violent and grim looking, the atmosphere, quests, enemies, the background music... 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Veracious 267 Posted April 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2015 I don't know names by heart being that I started only months before the servers went down but I like the first two regions of the main quest line. The bright colors and vibrant atmosphere blew me away after years of D2x. 2 Link to comment

I was so disappointed learning the game was at it's end. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Dorimil 224 Posted April 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2015 I voted for Artamark because it is for me the most beautiful region. 3 Link to comment
Popular Post Delta! 987 Posted April 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I voted Nor Plat. It was te region where I leveled up the fastest... And I'm pretty sure I go a few nice item drops there as well. Delta! Edited April 15, 2015 by Delta! 2 Link to comment

And I'm pretty sure I go a few nice item drops there as well. Delta! Not to derail the thread but is there a break down on the drop rates of areas somewhere I can look at if I don't want to mod the balance text? Or is it all based on character level versus monster level? Edited April 17, 2015 by Veracious Link to comment
SX255 630 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 So why has noone voted for the Dryad Island? Too late in the game? 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 ha dryad island's so dangerous... those crazy tik tok witch doctors that hold and suck out your life... "tik tok tik tok..." Though I did get a legendary drop there once, cuz of the high level! gogo 1 Link to comment

Probably why, I found it a little harder to run quickly in HC than some of the other places I preferred... that feeling of trepidation of getting caught by some really powerful nasties, kinds of adds a black fear while running through, and I've had that heart beat raising "catch" of being frozen a little too often... gogo Link to comment

I'll have to test it out again. Link to comment

wolfie2kX 528 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The problem with this question - it leaves out the other continent of Ancaria (From Sacred 1 and Underworld)... In that regard, I vote for Bellvue - and the surrounding area - for the fact that's where you start - and where you meet the characters you're playing for the first time. Ascaron spent quite a bit of effort on character building right off the top. It's the hook that drew me into the game far more than in Sacred 2. 1 Link to comment

Dang Dryad Island...I was just Totem'd!!! gogo Link to comment

Honestly though...did you really like the garish, disney colors of that region? That was a real turn off for me when I started the game... In fact, I think someone even released a mod to subdue the colors a l'il bit gogo Link to comment
Popular Post Veracious 267 Posted April 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yea that jerk. The first time you meet him you don't realize what you're in for. Barsteward stole my survival bonus. Only let it happen once though lol. 2 Link to comment
