I am really interested in seeing some really early development graphics of ESO before release or right at PC release. Anyone know where I can see any? Is there any available somewhere?

      There weren't very many released. You can search YT for some beta vids but the are late beta pretty close to release.

      Because of the NDA, we weren't allowed to take screenshots or vids during early beta, but some might be floating around.

        Ah yes.... the secret hidden zones which wasnt finished because of the limited time. (summerset isles starter zone, craglorn city, elsweyr behind grahtwood), or the secret hidden 5th gear lvl design which was scrapped and later becomed into master weapons and dro'mathra style. or the hiddenoriginal storyplot of the game which was also scrapped and reused into current but its ended up in chapters and dlc-s.. hmm. kinda i have a half life 2 original plot feeling.

        yeah i know too much

        The zones have dramatically improved in quality.

        Can we ever see the old zones to be shiny as the new ones? Quests dosent matter. But the zone. Old ones looks bare to the New ones

        It would be really cool, but I suspect, revamping old zones like that would be pretty expensive. Still, on the whole, it might be worth doing, as the team has gotten much better with the tools since launch, and new players will spend a lot of time in the old zones.

        I'm sure that some improvement just happens unnoticed. Any patch can deliver a replacement mesh with more polys and and a higher-res texture for a single item and it won't look out of place. Some of that won't be deliberate, just a by-product of remaking something on the later versions of the tools, but it still counts.

        Sorry but an event camp/tent for me dosent looks much change. Okay they have added houses, but they do added that arena into stormheaven and that is kinda nonsense. As the lava lake in craglorn. I mean its useless. Its Just not right.

        Don’t forget that they used to have pictures of players with cloaks!
        Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

        Pretty sure "finger painting" and "window licking" is apart of the current development.

          I'm really glad they steered away from the overblown toon look. It's so fugly.

          I remember being so excited for Spellcrafting that I used to have some screen caps of early ideas, a couple in particular with Konkle talking about how the system would work. I looked for them recently and can't find 'em anymore almost as if I imagined the whole thing.

          When the game launched on console there where no instance towns and a hour queue time to log on you literally couldn’t stand anywhere in a town with out standing in another player
