Beautiful Graphics Since Morrowind

ArchMikem

I don't know. ESO may be a beautiful game in it's own right, but it will NEVER live up to the feeling I get playing Skyrim. Maybe it's just the different Engine, but the singleplayer Elder Scrolls have this large, "get lost in the world" type feel to them, while ESO is bordering on the Cartoony.

In ESO all I do is end up running from point to point, Questing or running errands to the crafting stations or whatnot, even if I think the game looks pretty. In Skyrim on the other, I load up my game, and then just stand around, staring at my character with the environment around her, the lush, dense vegetation, maybe it'll start snowing.

Look at this.

Wow! A lot of really nice pictures you have on your hands there.

Although, I'm curious about the origins of that first image. Is that a home you'll be able to buy? Because if so, I'm thoroughly impressed. I thought the island (Grand Topal Hideaway) was lavish and luxurious. I just might have to drop some more cash on ZOS' lap if so. Because I damn sure need a mansion to match my island. Having just an island and stronghold isn't exactly enough for me. N'ah. I need that trinity. I need that: Stronghold, island, and mansion.

That first image is a Palace in Abah's Landing from the quest "Forever hold your peace" u get nice robe for that quest tho

@ArchMikem Very true. Especially if you play Skyrim using mods. Some of those graphics improvement mods really make the game something you can't describe by words. But then again, that's with modding of almost any game on PC. Have you ever seen what some folks have been able to do to an old game like GTA:4 with mods...? Makes the game look better than a lot of new games out right now.

Skyrim



GTA:IV



Really blows your mind what mods that tweak the graphics are capable of, right? Now imagine if some of those very same modders got their hands on ESO. You'd have Destruction Staff skills looking like something out of a Harry Potter movie combined with a Final Fantasy game. The character designs we all have would be looking like some of the rather... Adult scene. Lol. The scenery? Looking like something Bob Ross painted.

So awesome! All of your screen grabs remind me to my core why I take my time and look around. These images makes me wonder why people ~rush~ to level cap, mindlessly grind mobs in a big circle and pour on the steam when they think someone may 'get to it first'.

Thanks to all of the posters here that brought out what is one of the best things about ESO - the incredible vistas that we get to see when we stop to look around

The Far Shores reminds me of something I'd see in a Sonic Adventure game. And you'd have to explore the stage to find chaos emeralds with Knuckles, and catch the thief who is after them there as well (Rogue). Hmm... Why does that seem all so familiar.
