Check out these amazing pics

Ah, seeing the water falls down the side of the mountain is nice, I remember seeing something like that in Austria, tho it was far brighter and colourful in Austria then this it's still amazing to see in person :). I'd like a few varied landscapes... what do Meadows look like up there I wonder, flowers and flora must exist too after all...

Those graphics @_@


Erm... you know those sheets that protect against the dreadful light that glares the screen... yeah the curtains... open them and look outside, these aren't graphics, these are photos of the world out there!

@Whoever: Skyrim isnt Scandinavia, but they do have some similaries so i dont see the big deal about pointing that out.

Thats lovely, it's too bad despite the game looking very nice it will never be that beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen a game that truly looks as amazing as nature can, maybe one day.

look at this Himalayan picture, it looks more like skyrim than any of those pictures of Sweden, I think:

Himalaya:

Anyway, those Sweden road pictures really broke my immersion when picturing it like skyrim.

The water doesn't look as good as Crysis and the trees are average

I'll be alright with you envying me in the summer, not right now :P. We've had snow since the begining of November here in Stockholm... 4? months and it still isnt gone... Plus we practically never got to see daylight for a month as we're all in school/at work during those few precious hours... Ohh and the temperature dropping below -20 degrees Celsius (thats less than -4 degrees Fahrenheit) aint that fun either xD...



Pff, try northern Norway, -45 celsius and from the coast a very strong chilling frostwind from the north. You dont know cold :P.

Hardly, Iceland barely got any forest at all. And is flatter then Norway. However, i reckon they could take inspiration from iceland when creating the northern coast part of Skyrim.

I need to visit Sweden.

I live in Sweden, and I've never seen anything like that in real life :P Those pics are probably from Norway. We don't even have real mountains in Sweden, at least not that I'm aware of.

To hell with tropical rainforests and beaches, this is why the taiga is the best place on the planet.

do you think that there might be marshlands in skyrim? it would be cool to be traveling through one and come across marsh creatures or the undead ;)

All of those are likely from Norway. That forky road is http://www.google.no/search?hl=no&client=firefox-a&hs=iT8&rls=org.mozilla%3Anb-NO%3Aofficial&biw=1600&bih=1106&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=trollstigen&oq=trollstigen&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=20692l24950l0l12l11l0l4l4l0l256l1239l0.5.2
