Improve the Sky, please.

One of the things that bothered me about ESO was how bland the sky looks. The night sky in ESO in reality is only visible near polluted cities. The sky is not at its fullest potential. I will share some pics to show you what beauty the sky is capable of.

The sky in ESO currently looks like this

Not that impressive and needs to be improved.
Skyrim's sky is much more spectacular

I just think the sky needs to be less cloudy/rainy, basically less industrialized and more natural. ESO's sky needs to match Skyrim's sky at least or even surpass it by adding more colors to the stars, like reds, greens, purples just like Morrowind. The Milky way in Skyrim's pic should not be missing either because stuff that like doesn't disappear. I just wish for the sky to be more beautiful and more otherworldly.

    I agree That many of the older Elder Scrolls games Had much more beautiful skies going on. I'd like to see it too but There are a lot of other things that need to be taken care of first.
    That which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

    I don't expect immediate reaction. I just wanted to bring the bland sky to ZoS's attention so they may improve it whenever.

    I'm not so sure if it's that bad. I was looking at the sky the other day and it seemed quite nice with the stars tinkling. It could be improved of course, but so could many elements of the game.

    Your screenshot is terrible though. (sorry)
    Wololo.

    Yeah, it was taken from Auridon I think. Cyrodiil somehow has a nicer sky. But I just wanted to point out the star count and cloudiness is similar to an industrial sky instead of a beautiful, otherworldly sky.

    I was thinking this the last time I logged on. The world is beautiful but the night sky is seriously lacking.

    The moons look great :) But it would be nice if the intensity of the stars was increased. That would help a lot!

    Enhanced stars in photoshop just to show how I think it would look at least a little better:
    (I have only added shine to the ones I could spot on my screenshot. Not added new ones)

    "You no longer bear the burden of prophecy.
    You have achieved your destiny.
    You are free.
    All fates sealed and sins redeemed.
    If you have pity, mourn the loss, but let the weeping cease.
    The Blight is gone, and the sun's golden honey gilds the land."
