New beginner zones look good (except Bleakrock)

ImmortalCX

I think they look better, especially Stros Mkai. I don't know what exactly they did, but they appear to be at the Vvardenfel level of quality or higher.

Having just spent alot of time adventuring in Skyrim and Markarth however, Bleakrock still looks pretty basic.

The changes are so small they are barely noticeable to me, especially since all the landscape is the same. Same rocks, trees, buildings, etc.

Bleakrock is the least noticeable for me also, but I love the area as is and trying to revisit it at every chance be it endeavours or else. One one hand they didn't screwed anything up, so that's already a plus...

I saw a location on Betnikh that looked like it may have been improved-- at least, a shipwreck site had a tattered sail that was blowing in the wind, which looked different to me-- but I honestly couldn't remember if it had always looked like that.

I haven't noticed anything on Bleakrock Isle yet. However, I think these sorts of visual improvements should be unobtrusive rather than glaringly obvious.

The changes did mess up one of the two treasure map sites on Stros M'Kai, but hopefully that will be fixed before too long.

It might be that higher level graphics settings showcase the differences more. I am playing 1440 ultra.

Its difficult to differentiate the starter zones from expansions they made in the 2018-19 time frame.

Again, I'm not sure exactly what they did, but I remember when I used to go there they looked very dated, and now they are on par with high traffic area like Vvardenfell.

I like the new door for Orkeys Hollow in Bleakrock. It's a nice door...

I didn't like all the weird plants they added to the beach in Betnikh. I mean, they didn't look like salt-water beach plants to me (too tall), but what do I know, maybe they are.
