    What we asked:

    Q: If you could live in one of the locations accessible in the games listed below, which game would the location be from?
    (909 votes total)

    Baldur's Gate 2 or Throne of Bhaal (292) 32%
    Planescape: Torment (190) 21%
    Baldur's Gate or Tales of the Sword Coast (177) 19%
    Neverwinter Nights or Shadows of Undrentide or Hordes of the Underdark (85) 9%
    Icewind Dale or Heart of Winter (55) 6%
    Icewind Dale 2 (49) 5%
    The Temple of Elemental Evil (41) 5%
    Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor (16) 2%
    Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (4) 0%

    I'll just make a few general comments since the poll results mostly speak for themselves. The fact that Baldur's Gate 2 or Throne of Bhaal were chosen by the most people who voted as containing a location they would like to live in is undoubtedly due to the fact that most people visiting SP have played either BG2 or the expansion or both, while not necessarily (m)any other games covered on SP.

    Planescape: Torment is a bit of an exception in this poll since not so many people have played it, but many of those who did, have, I believe, picked it because of the many striking locations accessible in the game.

    On the other end of the spectrum we have Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor and Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, which both got very few votes, but this is probably (also) because very few people who voted in the poll have played them.

    I picked BG1 myself - solely due to Candlekeep. If I had to live in any of those places a nice big library sounds pretty good to me.

    As much as I like Baldur's Gate II, I found the map to be pretty sparse. I preferred Baldur's Gate, with lots and lots of places to go.
