For the ninetieth time, the Free-Fire Zone and the Stockyards. I don't think anything evokes the kind of lonely and desolate and kind of "searching for oneself" atmosphere in the game better than that.
Everything in that game is beautiful, though.

As for AE (don't kill me), I felt a little less. It often seemed to me that the environments there were more repetitive and a little less real-looking. Bonewerkz just looked very barren, and I found the endless walls of barrels in SoulStorm Brewery a bit uncreative. I did like Necrum, though it seemed that something was missing.

I thought every bit of Necrum was perfect, I want to go there its so good, how much you reckon it will cost?

A time-space warping machine, and, possibly, sanity.

It's between Necrum and Scrabania for me

Scrabania, Slig Barracks, Monsaic Lines, Necrum Burial grounds and Paramonia.

I liked all the areas, but the Stockyards is definately one of my favs. Those colors are amazing and make me want to play it again just to see them shining out in the background. Rupture Farms is the first real area you see, so it has a certain significance that makes me love it. Slig Barracks was always one of my favourite places, and every time I play it, I like it even more. All those little sligs out in the distance shooting at me really do the trick. Not to mention the brewery which gave the feeling of imposing as it's the last part. Necrum had such enjoyable music and those bird sound really creep me out in a very subtle way. Those fleeches made it all the better. Then of course there is Paramonia, which made me want to build a summer house just for the view. Scrabania, which I hated yet loved, charmed with music and those rocky sculptures. Those are the best areas for me. The others are not bad, but not quite great enough to be a favourite for me.:D
