    Is that a vanilla screenshot, no Reshade or SweetFX or graphics effects added? Because if that is vanilla that's damn fine.

    From the first post? That’s with a Reshade. Still looks gorgeous without one though, as other screenshots in this thread show well :smile:

    Also, PC players should check out the Daybreak mod on ESO Nexus. It pushes the fog way back without removing it completely. Works great in Elsweyr too!

    I do not use addons. All my screenshots are vanilla, maxed out settings with exclusive fullscreen, with the following changes on the config file

    SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-3"
    ...
    SET FullscreenHeight "2160"
    SET FullscreenWidth "3840"
    SET WindowedHeight "1440"
    SET WindowedWidth "2560"
    .....

    I use 2560x1440 monitor and the game is rendered at 4K and down scales massively improving quality.

    the only draw back of these awesome looking new areas and especially the main cities is that it makes the "old" cities and reas look a bit dull - thats why i hope they will go over them again and enhance them...would be cool - they can also add new quests so people have reasons to go back there

    Its very nice quests so far are good, more Khajiit who is always good.

    The only bad I found is even more of the locked door politic. In one Akavir town all the doors are chained.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I came here to say exactly that !

    Yes, thank you for the awesome work on landscaping and architecture ! It's gorgeous. I haven't done quests yet except the new tutorial (I am very late, still doing the Murkmire preparation, and I want to do things in the right order), but I had the luck to come out of Starlight Haven at dawn, and I was blown away by the landscapes during all my (deliberately slow) walk to Rimmen as the sun was rising. I am eagerly anticipating the moment my main can step foot in Riverhold :smiley:

    Congratulations on the smooth launch, by the way. :smile:

    Better bloody launch smoothly on consoles as have day off work and can’t wait!

    (Booked day off as when Summerset launched last year, it was downloaded very quickly & so was tempted to have a look before work. Then was rather late for work due to ‘washing machine breaking down - honestly - what a mess - water all over the place....’ 😆)

    the verticality in the zone is amazing, twice the size of anything that's come before, the canyons are like the grand canyon of ESO.

    I love the stiches, probably my all time favorite location in game.

    I also love the area to the NW were they just let it be open plains for a little bit, often times devs have to cram something everywhere and one of my favorite vanilla locations (stros and alik-r) have great open areas that are just so appreciated.

    BEST zone for sure, love just wandering it, I have such pride as a khajiit main, the architecture is gorgeous too, such a combination of various asian / middle east cultures.

    im also glad they included all kinds of various khajiit, even the NPC mobs are various breeds, makes exploring dungeons neat when even the bandits are in several different shapes and sizes.

    That sounds awesome! I love zones with lots of verticality (i.e. Hews Bane).

    How much of the map does the zone take up? Obviously it's much bigger the HB I'm sure. :smile:

    it almost makes up for the thinly veiled identity-politic that was Summerset.

    lol, makes up for what exactly?

    You mean other than a boring over the top eyeroll fest, that seemed to be lifted from an old Steinbeck novel, and contradicted other in game cultures authoritative base?

    The visuals were nice, other than that it was trash.

    I really like old Steinbeck novels. Jus sayin.

    To each his own, I always found proletarian propaganda cringe worthy.

    The zone is beautiful but I'm hard pressed to think of one that is not. What I'm impressed with is the animations on the dragons. They are amazing, and their movement, combat animations and flight are flawless. Good job! I love this game more and more every day.

    I love Summerset the most of all Chapters, BUT I'm yet to explore Elsweyr. There's definitely potential I see there for exploring, questing and RP. I was in the fields at lonely nights (in the game), that kind of loneliness I felt only in Skyrim before. Love it.

    Comparisons to the maps don't tell you much, because each zone is at a different scale in this game. It's set in the northern half of Elsweyr, so the map suggests it would be smaller than Summerset, but since the scale is larger it ends up a bit bigger than Summerset.

    Screenshots show scale better. I think it must be the biggest zone after Cyrodiil. These are taken near Rimmen, so only show the north west section of the Chapter. There's so much more than this:

    Thank you ZoS, Elswyer really screwed up my progression through the storyline as stonefalls is not a place that can be visited without being rolled back and kicked out of the game..
