Favorite Towns/Cities in RPGS?

In FO1 Junktown felt like the best representation of the setting overall.

In Morrowind I spent so much time in Balmora it felt like I lived there.

The old camp from Gothic 1 really did feel like a loosely organized encampment of criminals to the point where I never felt comfortable walking around even when I took their side.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
 
Easthaven from the first Icewind Dale game is definitely a personal favourite of mine, as is Athkatla from Baldur's Gate 2.
 
Santa Monica and Downtown L.A. in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, I found always stood out as being absolutely excellent locations, where the city felt vibrant and alive, not just a bunch of set pieces to walk by.

Also Detroit from Deus Ex: Human Revolution
 
I like Hengsha more as far as Deus Ex:HR goes, considering how real and good the location feels, it is really sad that they cut upper-Hengsha from the game, I mean the first time I got in the Elevator to enter Tai Yong Medical was simply awesome looking down at this awesome scenery particularly as you spend most of your time in lower Hengsha. It was a bit sad that you never get the oportunity to explore the "rich" part of the city. As far as Sci-Fi towns or locations goes, I really liked the Citadel in Mass Effect.
 
I really wish Deus EX: HR had about double the content. Detroit was great, and I liked Hengsha. But it was frustrating to only have two real hubs. I loved the game, but after replaying it a few weeks ago, it really felt like a lot of the plot was left out. The jump from corporate espionage to global domination/elimination was jarring and forced. But I'm sure that wasn't what they intended.
 
yeah, I agree, as great as Deus Ex:HR is, and I REALLY love the game a few parts of the plot feelt extremly forced. I havnt heard anything about the Sequel to DS:Universe though, I have mixed feelings about some of their ideas, sounds really awesome on paper, but I hope it doesnt turn out to be another cash-grab like destiny where they are selling you the story via DLCs over a long time ... they want to create a bigger world with the next game, which is great, I hope the cities/hubs will see some love as well.

there is even some concept art flying around
