Because when I first looked at it, I realized I can go there and stand between that two trees excelently visible :thumbsup:

But I just like the road pictures, maybe that's it

I like two of them in particular for showing things not likely to be discussed and confirmed by the devs.

First, http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5106/5635851918_02b5323c6c_o.jpg, this one shows us a handcrafted bow.

Second, http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5103/5635851614_5faceb90bd_o.jpg this one demonstrates the hand and a half grip on a one handed sword.

Looks like he's just blocking. It makes sense to use both hands to block if you have both available.

As has been stated you can block with a one handed weapon with two hands. I wasn't suggesting he was fighting that way. I just like seeing the grip demonstrated.

They haven't given me a favourite screen until I see a female Breton thief, or a Khajiit mage, taking a dragon out.

I love [src="http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/1/3/2/7/5/0/3/1.jpg.jpg"]

That's been my PS3 wallpaper since it debuted. I want to explore that!

Edit: Messed up the quote.

I like 'em all, got a slide-show wallpaper of them all for my desktop.

Me too. I have a slide show with the "Sons Of Skyrim" song on my PS3.

Because I love the landscape!

The Khajiit one.

Mainly because the khajiit look absolutely badass in Skyrim, instead of the doughy cat they were in oblivion, they actually look ferocious. Awesome stuff.

I have to say that I'm with you on this. I love the new Khajiit--I was going to be Bosmer first and Khajiit second, but seeing this image has made me less certain--I might just be khajiit first...

I wonder what that big statue really is. What does it stand for?

This pic totally doesn't look like Skyrim and that's one of the things I love about it. Looks like a very very unique dungeon that worship something very "un-Skyrim"-like

I wonder what it is...

Hard to pick only one so here are a couple that I really like.

http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/OrcNight.jpg - Love the environment in this screen, I can't wait to explore there.

http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/DragonMountains_wLegal.jpg - Best dragon screen so far imo.

http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/Markarth01_wLegal.jpg - I remember first seeing this in the GI mag, I was amazed.

http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/CompositeMountain_wLegal.jpg - I would be insane to leave this one out of my favorites.

Ah thanks. So some kind of Tiber Septim / previous Dragonborn (or even Talos cult to bring back the Empire...) temple? Cool

Choosing a favourite is tough; I like all of them for one reason or another.

Top 5...

1. http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/screenshots/DragonMountains_wLegal.jpg
Love everything about this - the draw distance, the sky, the brooding mountain range, and of course the powerful-looking perched dragon.

2. http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/screenshots/RuinedFort.jpg
Nothing spectacular about this one, it's just such a detailed and inviting landscape. Makes you want to explore that ruin, then see what's over the next hill... and the next...

3. http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/LakeMountains_wLegal.jpg
Another landscape. I could've chosen a bunch of character or monster screens that I love, but in a way the most important character in a TES game is the world itself. Knowing those mountains -- and even the lake -- are explorable, potentially hiding dungeons, monsters, treasures, and simple world detail somehow captures what's special about TES for me.

4. http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/screenshots/SpiderHero_0.jpg
I love giant spiders as a fantasy monster, so Bethesda were always going to win me over with this one. The axe and armour details here are awesome too.

5. http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/DraugrSwarm.jpg
I love this one, just because it's pure sword & sorcery goodness. The two-handed pose, and the details and variation of the Draugr (look at their eyes! - and the quiver on the top-left) is fantastic.

http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/conceptart/bear-encounter/

A Nord that just arrived at a scene where a bear killed a mamoth. His posture betrayels that he was taken by surprise by the bear. He just went up to the mamoth only to inspect it and did not expect that at a bear would reveal himself behind the mamoth. His posture also reveals that combat will be unavoidable and that is what makes this artwork so great,

Peacefull on top and yet so unsettling when you look into the dark depths. Well made artwork

This screenshot was recently posted on TESNexus in... super HD! This is the first picture we get of a sunrise (I believe). I love the vast mountain range. The snow on the mountains also look great, as well as the clouds. The image doesn't look photorealistic good though imo. But nonetheless, it still looks great!

It's concept art.

Nope, it was confirmed to be an in-game screenshot, it has been discussed to death.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:50 am

I like this one because you can really see how they improved the graphics. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.whyilovevermont.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/laser-cat1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.thingsithinkarecool.com/whimsy/laser-cats&usg=__QPlGz47zMBfvlfb7jm6a2o70SZI=&h=401&w=400&sz=202&hl=en&start=14&zoom=1&tbnid=WbNDF4iap0c0eM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&ei=QLCwTc3eJc3PiALg1ISwBg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dlaser%2Bcats%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D979%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to agree with you there.

If there is anything close to http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/concept_art/WhiterunCityTundra.jpg I will be ridiculously happy.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 11:47 am

Actually that was confirmed to be in-game, as far as I know.

Edit: Didn't realise somebody gave you a reply already.

As stubborn as i may be i can not believe that.
