Inspired by the favorite bars thread, and my general love of the "favorite ____ in games" threads.
What are some of GAF's favorite in game towns? This is a bit of a broad topic, I know, but I'm hoping that allows for a variety of different locations to show up.
Pick your choices based on the general atmosphere of the town, as well as memorable in-game events that occur there.
Halure from Tales of Vesperia is a good one.
This one is memorable to me mainly from a design standpoint. The big tree is so iconic and the game's artstyle just makes it look like a moving painting.
Nipton from Fallout: New Vegas
Nipton is where shit starts getting real in terms of the plot of the game. It's the players first real encounter with Ceasar's Legion, and they're obviously dudes you don't want to mess with. They've even got a member of the Powder Gangers, your biggest adversaries up to this point, hiding in fear inside of the general store.
Illium from Mass Effect 2
The antithesis of Omega, Illium, the asari homeworld has a bright and sleek design. The "town" also features numerous characters from Mass Effect 1, the most notable of which is Liara T'Soni.
