Need some clarification on the validity of a video

The video claims to be a beta of ESV however it looks remarkably similar to Oblivion. I'm just wondering if it has come up in discussion here before.
Even if it isn't, it looks like a brilliantly constructed mod and I'd like to find out what it is.

Thanks guys.

Nice level. :)

Yep it's from Oblivion. Same animations, same UI icons, sometimes the same models, same sound effects.

Now I hope the modder didn't do this only to get views, otherwise I would never support his mod for advertising it that way. I hope it's just one smart ass who thought he could get views by taking a trailer/teaser from another person's mod.

You actually thought this was TES:V? :eek:
Same models, same sounds, same looks as Oblivion. C'mon man. :P

Haha, thanks guys.
I doubted the authenticity of it from the outset but like I said, I think it looks pretty slick and was wondering if anyone had heard of that specific mod and what it entailed.

That cave formation about 1 minute into the video looked pretty nice, but I don't know what mod it's called.
Lol, the audacity of some idiots. And by idiots, I mean the idiot who posted that video on youtube.

I would throw myself off a bridge before I had TES V looking like that (yes, it uses the same models, but the way the room was lit, the objects placed, etc, was just insulting to the aesthetics and game itself).

Ugh.

I would be mad if that was TES V.

Nope, it's not.
Closed as resolved.
