Vivec as a location has so much going for it. It's a city. It's a ziggurat. It's a termite mound. It has a vast canal and waterworks system. There are few entrances into the main streets and unless you learn to navigate the city on its terms you're going to be lost and confused. There are rooftop parks and courtyards but they're still largely indoors. There's a gladiator arena. An entire district of the city is one giant megachurch. There's an ominous floating meteorite to remind you that your god-king is merciful enough to save you from certain destruction, but they still keep it suspended above your home just in case your sins are beyond saving. It instantly became one of my favourite video game locations when I first played Morrowind. There's just so much character to it.
