    Get me some hot drow action

    My vote goes for Imnesvale because I would want to be a hunter or ranger by profession. Suldanessellar would also be nice place for rangers but I just don't like elves that much.

    I chose Trademeet; obviously after the problems with the druids have been sorted out in a good way. I prefer peace and solitude over big cities with lots of noise and people, but I also like having some comforts, so Trademeet seems like the right sort of size for me.

    I'm all for big cities, but I'd probably prefer the outskirts. NOT the temple district; the permanent singing of priests and monks would drive me nuts. Near the docks might be nice, I like the ocean.

    Human cities in the forgotten realms are designed to be horrible, horrible places full of murderers, greedy businessmen, and thieves. Considered Trademeet, but it's full of elitist trader families. Not Ust Natha for obvious reasons (male). Rural community / ranger country for me

    Hay... why only BG2? I want to live in Nashkel and hang around with Noober!!!
  • LapaLapa Member Posts: 73
    There is already one poll about this same topic but locations are from BG1.

    ps. You can also live in Trademeet and hang around with Neeber!
  • LoremasterLoremaster Member Posts: 212
    Neeber, yes. Charming chap. But if I should live somewere it got to be in Nashkel, can't stand long without Noober.

    Trademeet seems to be a nice little town. I like the architecture :P
  • OzzyBotkinsOzzyBotkins Member Posts: 396
    I like trademeet
    out in the country
    but still has a urban feel to it
  • SenashSenash Member Posts: 405
    And it's Suldanessellar! :)
  • O_BruceO_Bruce Member Posts: 2,790
    Imnesvale, definitely. Of course after some unpleasant events that were taking place there in BG2. Why? Calm place that is close to nature, I suppose.
  • seawiedseawied Member Posts: 24
    Baldur's Isle after eliminating the Wolfweres. Why? Because its a tropical Isle. Why not live in paradise?
  • toanwrathtoanwrath Member Posts: 621
    Trademeet seems like a pretty cool place. Certainly better than Athkatla IMO, and since I'm a guy the Drow would kill me if I sneezed in Ust Natha.

    Heh you listed Brynnlaw, that's the troll vote right?

    Clearly the City of Caverns! Such a lovely place down below the waves. You simple won't get tired of all this marauding, enslaving and hunting down some tasty aquatic elves. The females aren't all fishy either if one believes the Monster Girl Encyclopedia's entry of the Sahuagin.

    Though living in an aboleth city would be even better, if only for:

    I'd live in the ruins below the temple sewers , hopelesly devoting my life to a God I hate.
  • DarkcloudDarkcloud Member Posts: 302
    Kind of fits my home town. Rather small but still one of the bigger ones around and good shopping possibilities.
  • CorvinoCorvino Member Posts: 2,269
    Just not Saradush, really. Anywhere with that level of random catapult attack and Fire Giant activity is not going to retain property prices. Also finding a new deli, greengrocers and local pub every week after the last one is destroyed would get old fast.

    In one of the towers of dárnise hold with a great view around!

    Trademeet is so colorful, with lots of merchants and people in general, but in the same time it is surrounded by nature :)

    Also, I see no one wants to live in Saradush... How strange *troll mode ON* XD

    I'm not as big a fan of these BG2 locations for the purposes of this poll (they're fine for the game, though) as those in BG1. But in any event, I think in either case I would choose the metropolis. (Baldur's Gate for BG1 and Athkatla for BG2.) I would make my choice about which district based on the map and description of Athkatla from Lands of Intrigue, not the game.

    Are you sure it is a tropical paradise ?

    If you check on the look of the island (trees, rocks, climatic conditions), it looks more a island that you would find in Atlantic Ocean, but far from tropical regions (more like small islands in Brittany - Western France and other United Kingdom island like Jersey and son on).

    I chose Suldanessellar because I want to learn from the elves. My other choice would be Athkatla.
  • ZeratulZeratul Member Posts: 575
    Menzoberranzan! or Ched Nasad depends what city of drow appear in bg2!
  • LapaLapa Member Posts: 73
    Drows from bg2 lives in the city of Ust Natha.
  • ZeratulZeratul Member Posts: 575
    @Lapa then in Usth Natha! But i would prefer live in Menzoberranzan for take the tea sometimes with Gromph Baenre.....

    Nowhere! The world is rife with insane wizards, genocidal masterminds, rampaging monsters, interplanar warfare and complete and utter psychopaths who go around the world solving 'problems' by specialising in killing anything that moves.
    If I HAVE to live somewhere, place me down in a cleared-out and completely re-armed Durlag's Tower, I want nothing to do with the outside world!
  • ChowChow Member Posts: 1,192
    Durlag's Tower always struck me as really comfortable if you removed all the undead and traps and stuff. I'll have to join up Drugar on his quest.
