My current favorite Skyrim city is Riften, but I feel conflicted about it because it's also my brother's favorite Skyrim city, and he's a big thieves guild person so he has much more reason to like it (I kinda think the thieves guild is dumb). It's just a really pleasing city from an aesthetic point of view though.

When I was putting it together I had 5+E in mind.
That was kinda how I justified a resurgence of the Winterhold population. They’re the 5th biggest city in Skyrim.
I also selectively ignored things like the destruction of Kvatch and Helgen, or Baar Dau impacting Vivec and Southern Vvardenfell.
Skyrim was a tough one to put together. I could’ve just as easily put Falkreath or Riften in place of Whiterun and kept a geographic balance but Whiterun won out because it was such an important city to all of my playthroughs.
