So I am back for another one of my polls, today's being which fictional cesspool would you want to live if you had a choice. Imagine that you are being held at gunpoint by Satan and he is saying that you have to choose or else he will eat your soul.

Mind you that some of these (a lot being dystopian) would actually be rather fun to live in, despite the danger and chaos, but we do tend to romanticise dystopianism.

Alright, let us begin.

Tough decision but I'll have to go with "The Time of the Reaper" by Andrew Butcher. The school in particular seems like a real cool place to stay in a dystopian world :3

Ankh-Mopork, Discworld. It may be dirty but at least the crime is organised, and you'll have a laugh.

*points to location*

Interesting Question. I think I would have to go with the 'Dying Earth' by Jack Vance. Its strange and unnatural aspects are rather fascinating; despite the fact that most things that live there will try to kill you. Still plenty of opportunity for adventure there.

right this yes

Has anyone seen the quality movie Manborg? It's a little known canadian film that had a 1000 dollar budget with 80's special affects and stopmotion fighting scenes.

Wait, who chose Omega from Mass Effect? It doesn't let me check poll voters.

Thaaaaat would be me. Who doesn't like a cesspool of violence, pirate gangs/organised crime, clubs, Asari strippers and questionable morals? Hell yes!

I just beat one a week ago in 12 hours (accumulative since I got it in April) since I didn't like the sidequests. Started two right away and loved it from the beginning. Omega is like a toned down version of Nar Shaddaa. NS makes Omega look like a resort, yet Omega Station, in some ways, is darker. I refer to the Morinth quest...

Just did it this morning at like 5 AM since I get up early. The VIP club was so...dark, twisted, and even macabre in its own, unique way...

My boyfriend's been playing it. He finished one a while back and is nearly done with two. I can't remember Nar Shaddaa, so I might need reminding. But yes, Omega Station is...darker. And Morinth. That was kinda sad. XD

The most disturbing mission was that Overlord one. Nugh, screeching loudly at you in a electronic voice. x.x I hated it.

Nah, Nar Shaddaa is way darker and creepy. Omega was more dystopian, but the bar reminded me of Jek Jek Tar.

kotor 2 was a surprisingly creepy game.
