I'm gonna rule out mountain because that object looks to have perfectly straight edges.

It is a pyramid

Its probably a mountain, though it does look more pyramid then mountain.

I'd still say it's a mountain. Maybe it's the draw distance finally giving out. Seems really far away...

It is really close the tower.
I think it is a mountain peak.

Deffinately not a mountain.

Could be a bad LOD version of a mountain that straightened out the edges... or... a pyramid... hmm.... Falmer????

oooh I know, a Velothi style building ala morrowind?? Could be a Dunmer stronghold near the border.... I'm just guessing here.

I think that's a mountain.
It's far in the background, things are harder to see especially with all those fog.

Definitely* could be a mountain. :rolleyes:

If you guys zoom in, you'll notice that the tree branch gives off the illusion of the edge of that structure in background. The tree is covering it...its a mountain.

Actually..a second look reveals that the left side of the "mountain" is completely straight. odd.

Definitely doesn't look like a mountain, unless its the smoothest most perfect mountain of all time. Plus there seems to be a wall & building beside it.

Maybe its just the draw

looks to be either a steep mountain peek or the roof of a large building possibly a mead hall

» Mon May 02, 2011 11:44 pm

It's a mountain.
Distance and concealment just make the left edge look straighter than it is.

» Tue May 03, 2011 10:25 am

I'm thinking it's just a mountain. Yeah, it looks a little too straight, but that might just be because they haven't fully polished that area yet.

» Tue May 03, 2011 7:08 am

its either a mountain or a roof, forts had roofs

» Tue May 03, 2011 8:07 am

All of this nice scenery going on. An old fort in ruins, what appears to be a wooden section behind it, the beautiful blend of a snowy area changing to a more forested area...

And we're concerned with a tiny area behind a tree a hundred miles away in the distance.

Come on, guys, really?

Its illuminati! watch out!

oo:

» Tue May 03, 2011 4:08 am

Could be the roof of a building.

It's the lod system. Obstructed scenery is rendered with less polygons. That's how they get the game running smoothly on the 360.

People like to discuss things you can speculate on...

If you look close enough you can see that the tree is blocking the right side of the shape, and its not a complete triangle, looks like a jagged mountain top.

its a spear being held by miaq

It's a mountain.
