They are for the most part the same screens from Game Informer but in high resolution. Worth checkin out.

Got pretty much all of that, but nice to see the concept art in HI-res.

They were all released a few hours ago on the Bethblog too.

I prefer the dragon scenery one. http://www.gamestar.de/_misc/images/original.cfm?pk=2198717

World looks pretty damn big for same as Oblivion.

That's a great pic too, but I don't like the sky. Looks weird :confused:

The world isn't big. At first, it may look big. But after a while, you'll realize it's not. Just look at the trees. They're really big, means they are very close.
Just compare with this pic: http://www.edupic.net/Images/Contributors/CW_cascade_mountains.JPG

We'll never ever get any "big" landscapes in 41 square kilometers, as sad as it sounds

Any mountains and valleys will be incredibly scaled down to somewhat ridiculous sizes.

I'm hoping the movement speed is slower than in Oblivion though. It would help a bit with making it feel bigger...

You should see a real tree, then. They're [censored] awesome. :thumbsup:

That quiver is not floating in mid air and actually looks like it's connected to a strap

This is so not TES! Where are my magically attached to my back weapons?!

Huh?? There are in game shots

I always imagined that was velcro

But a strap works too, sure Bethesda. While you're at it, can we get swords that don't slide sideways out of their scabbards?

Jk, I liked those swords. Quickest way to get them out.

That is an in-game screen-shot.

I feel like a complete idiot. They have mentioned you view books and turn the pages with the in game graphical engine... so when I clicked the wrong way on their image album for a period of about 30 seconds I thought those real life Morrowind books they showed were rendered in game. :facepalm: :blush2:

I can't wait until we get to see more pictures. It's going to be amazing if those shots of dragons flying high overhead are more than just scripted events.

IGN probably should have mentioned that 5 of those aren't actually screenshots, but concept art.

I can't wait until we get to see more pictures. It's going to be amazing if those shots of dragons flying high overhead are more than just scripted events.

Todd Howard already stated in an interview that nothing about dragons is scripted. They are regular creatures, but they were made very meticulously to work realistically in any possible situation.

That is an awesome pic, I hope it looks that good at release instead of getting toned down for performance issues or whatever.

Nothing new but the main thing to take out of this is............magazine exclusivity might be over now that beth have released the screens themselves and to ign! With exclusivity over maybe now we can finally get a relaunch of the official site!

Its internet text. Only so much you can read out of it. Besides everyone misinterprets words on a page every once inawhile

:P

More likely a static object of a broken tree.

How do we know this?

Yep, birch trees. Awesome job making them look natural. Love it. (or large aspen/poplar) I think birch.
