In Depth Screenshot Evaluation/Discussion

Post » Fri Dec 24, 2010 6:15 pm

I don't think that first screenshot is a city. I topple much more like a ruin/dungeon to me. The artists seem to have put quite a lot of effort into it emphasizing age. There also are no signs of human life there—no food, no storage, overgrown plants, no people, neglected/damaged architecture. I dobt Bethesda would be showing it off in its state if they were planning for it to undergo drastic change.

The screenshot is labeled "Markarth" on the official website. Markarth is one of the 5 major cities on the official map: http://i.imgur.com/juPhv.png

Number 4, the Autumn looking one (oh sorry, to many out there that would be "Fall"). In all seriousness the bark effects in this shot had me wondering if they were photo images. This is by far the best screen I have seen for any rpg game if ranking by realism. Hang I hope the rest of the game looks this sweet.

#9. Is definitely not the Throat of the World, it is far smaller than the surrounding mountains. High Hrothgar is the... highest, comparable to the White Gold Tower, Washington Monument and the Lucky 38. Probably alot higher.

I really think that the temple in screenshot #7 is Sky Haven Temple. Don't have anything to back it up but that's my feeling.

Well to be fair the Witcher main character is supposed to be pale. An skin details don't show up as well if your pale. But yeah its like they had a weight lifter with a good tan come a sit down for who ever did the body models this time.
