Is this new, or have I somehow only ever played in IC during the night... for years?

Topside looks pretty cool with natural light but the sewers look so odd all lit up.

    The Imp City SHOULD look like that after we've done the white gold tower Dungeon quest to end Molag Bal's invasion of the city, but in my memory it doesn't, so either this is a bug or they really did change the sky box recently.

    It is just a bug. Some of lightning shaders not loaded after porting to IC.
    But it is really nice place without "dark" lightning... And ofc without deadras :D

    It can be done when you are in some menu before game port you to the IC sewers, I don't rly remmember in what menu exactly ...

    It's a bug. I had it just once in the Blackreach. The vampire castle looked really weird with the blue sky overhead.

    I had the bug while in Stonefalls and Deshaan. The Skybox was night time but the directional light had the params of the sun.

    It's always had daylight, but it functions like Coldharbour where the sun barely peaks through the clouds. When the graphics bug out and the clouds are gone the sun becomes far more visible as you can see.

    I want a post invasion Cyrodiil zone even more now.

    Could be an entire new Chapter that brings the story past the war, we can do a questline for the newly crowned Emperor. Finally see the city as it's supposed to be.

    Yes please. 'Ending the war' stories are getting tired, let's have it ended and do a 'now let's rebuild' story or a 'o look I've found a young emperor to be let's get them throned' story.

    Thank you for letting me know. It was very jarring to see this, I actually prefer the Coldarbor look of it all, much easier on the eyes.

    It's a bug. I had it just once in the Blackreach. The vampire castle looked really weird with the blue sky overhead.

    If you happened to have taken any pictures, I'd love to see that!

    And also Deadlands (it turned out the bug persisted when travelling to another zone):

    Never seen this on PS. Closest thing is some areas underground have weird daytime lighting in rare cases.

    This fairly harmless visual bug can be achieved by previewing any Furnishing while traveling to a different zone (or a Dungeon, Trial, Arena, House). It can be more easily done by NOT teleporting from a Wayshrine and then immediately previewing something. To disable it, simply preview a Furnishing again.

    Also trying out new Main Quests, Companions, ToT decks, Events and Styles on PTS.

    This would be amazing. Keep Cyrodiil for pvp as an instance that people can join, but have the story move beyond it. I don't think they will though because apparently this three banner war lasts hundreds of years or something.

    Ok, I will admit. That's pretty funny. They almost look more like alien worlds from Star Wars in this sense. The Deadlands one is kind of pretty, in it's own way though.

    Thank you for sharing. :)
