i read the article about the other region landmasses around skyrim, so decided to noclip up there myself and take a look...
it was weird.

there were still invisible walls? how do i get through those?

anyway, with a couple of mediocre-ly placed print-screens and some half-assed photoshopping, this is what i came up with:

i am a very lazy man, and im sure i couldve done better
it was pretty easy to whip this up

thing is, i matched the landmasses up almost exactly
its kind of awkward as they are not exactly the same shape, but its pretty darn close: http://www.cklu.ca/other/skyrimshot.jpg


so maybe somebody with a little more patience can make a better one

LOL woah! You got the placement of the lake almost exactly right! Its even the same shape......

That's pretty slick. lol

thats the one
it was kind of a creepy article for some reason

im very curious as to why they wouldve put extra work into modeling these obscured regions
you cant even see them from any particular mountain view

its going to be interesting

For some people the landmass is NOT complete. And this is the regions recreated in skyrim landmass map:

But yes, the question is... why ?

And another interesting thing int that post is the GATE that leads to Morrowind. Who knows...

it is very eerie the gate to morrowind and the random landmass in cyrodil ..i wonder if there is hammerfell land mass :intergalactic:

Possibly for future DLC? Seems like the most logical explanation.

Check my second post and there is a Map of the area covered in the landmass

just answered my question for me so ill move to this question why is there so much landmass of hammerfell?!

The proper question is... why there is so much landmass of EVERYTHING!!!

we've known this since release day. /thread.

There is some explanation then, or its just a random thing?

i found another gate that leads into cyrodiil, and i took that photo just above it - http://www.cklu.ca/other/cyrodiilgate.jpg - i cropped it out for some reason
this one had the doors closed, which makes a lot more sense

Awesome thanks for posting!

youve known about my picture since release day? but i just made it...


thanks for being such a helpful ____
im glad you liked my picture, which is what the thread is about

now we'll continue to discuss whatever we want- youre welcome to pop in here and there and tell us were stupid

So there are all the pass gates ... interesting indeed. Dunno perhaps we are just dreaming too much hehe

I'd still like to know how that guy did it. tcl doesn't do it for me. I suppose there should also be an .ini setting that would turn off the invisible borders.

I think the guy told how he did in their post.

TFC lets you through the wall but you 'leave your body' so it wont load anything past where you were standing, and everything disappears a few feet ahead
doesnt behave like noclip

Thanks. tfc really is the command to enter.

I've seen people complaining about the gates or wondering if there's stuff beyond them, or else what is the point of them. There isn't stuff beyond them, and I'll tell you the point of them. It's for realism. It makes no sense in Oblivion that there is no concievable method for a theoretical NPC to get to Skyrim or Hammerfell or any of the other provinces blocked off by more than a small hill. The idea that there are actually paths that lead out of Skyrim makes the world much more believable, instead of just seeming like ther is nothing beyond it.

Seems they've done it good this time. In Oblivion, roads that should go to other provinces just... stop. Instead of continuing at least for hundred metres until the first turn so that it appears that they lead somewhere.
How many passes to Cyrodiil there are and where are they on the map? Realistically and lore-wise, there should be at least 3-4. One from Bruma heading north, one from Cheydinhal, Pale Pass, and from Chorrol and Sancre Tor to Skyrim.

There are two gates leading to Morrowind. One is also east of Winheldm.
