My pick for gaming's most "natural" feeling city: Neverwinter's Luskin

I have played many MMO's, but Luskin in Neverwinter feels the most alive and natural of them all. But I could be wrong....

    Check out a video on BDO's cities and villages sometime. ;)

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    There you have Heidel for example. A very medieval feeling city.

    For me it's Novigrad.  No city has ever felt so alive despite not having another living player in it.

    BDO's Calpheon is the best I've ever seen in any game.

    I don't believe we have a great one.  We have bits and pieces of good things.  I will submit city of heroes from this context:   Citizens walking around and vehicles driving on streets.

    Citizens:  They walked around, talked about pc Hero accomplishments, ran away when they bad guys were near.  They also ran into buildings during invasions. 

    Vehicles:  Vehicles driving around added to the look and feel of a real city.  Not to mention the occasional running over a character moving them out of the way.  Plus in City of Villains Mayhem Missions allowed you to smash them up.

    First time you go there, you get overwhelmed with all the chaos there is.

    I was lucky that I went there quite early after the game launched before it became a major hub for the players. I was there with just a few others and I was blown away by the level of detail and how busy the NPCs were doing their thing. I thought Heidel was well done but Calpheon was just in another higher level.

    I got bored with BDO relatively quickly but I have to hand it to them for the quality of their cities, villages and farms.

    By chaos I meant all the clusterfuck of npcs and quests! OMG all those quests inside that town.

    But yes, BDO has the best towns for an mmo hands down imo.

    I agree with other posters above. I don't play BDO anymore but it has some of the best cities I've ever seen in a mmo.

    Yeah that's true as I found out when I went back after I was the right level for it. My first visit was when I was low level just to get my Yuria weapon from Ronatz. I wasn't eligible for the quests in the area so I just wandered around gawking.
