The Dunmer architecture set for the base game zones was based on Mournhold architecture in the Tribunal expansion for The Elder Scrolls III. Before the art overhaul right before the base game launched, the Dunmeri architecture stuck to the art direction of Tribunal's Mournhold, but then somewhere along the way it was decided to make the game's textures drab and gray doing away with the pretty green roofs.
Would it be possible to restore the original textures to better match the lore (as well as to make the game that much more visually appealing)? As a bonus thing it would also be rather nice to have the Tribunal Temple at Mournhold better match the white stone spires and roofing it had in Tribunal rather than sheathed roofs and brick walls

Inari Telvanni✭✭✭✭This is in the cards now with the advent of texture refreshes in Glenumbra, though I imagine it will happen to Stonefalls first. Maybe in 2027 or later.
Either way, I have shared this sentiment for years and would like to see something like it come to fruition when future zone updates are in play.0 -
BloodstainedFay✭✭✭✭✭I would appreciate if High Rock also got the colours from old concept art back, such as the gorgeous blue on the roof tiles and magefires!

folder_rats✭✭✭This is a crazy deep cut, but I'd love to see the Daggerfall City architecture revised based on the painting Bethesda Game Studios did depicting the city for Winter CES 1996. Gotta at least include that neat looking statue head on the bottom left!

I sorta hope that High Rock gets new tilesets for places like Wayrest so they move away from PGE1 High Rock mistake. Though I don't know if ESO is adding a actual castle for Daggerfalls Castle instead of the manors we have ingame
(Images below are Wayrest, Castle Wayrest and Castle Daggerfall)
