Nordic Temple Interior (nothing special about this one)

-Seems there are many buried people in this piece of art, mostly along the left side of the screen

Nordic Temple Exterior

-Assuming this structure is the one we see in the gameplay trailer
-An NPC with wolves around him/her
-A large hole in the ground, perhaps another way to enter the ruin?

Dragon In Sky

-Dragon staring PC down
-Judging by surroundings, looks like PC is close to a ruin
-Sky looks amazing, yet again

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094558377.html?page=mediaFull

Draugr #1

-Very angry-looking enemies
-Varied looks for the draugr, such as glowing blue eyes and beards
-Beastly weapons for these ancient Blades...they were blades at one point, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
-Wierd markings on the walls

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094923086.html?page=mediaFull

Bear Encounter

-Bear feasting on a dead wooly mammoth
-Vultures circling the dead creature
-PC wearing...leather armor?
-PC dual-wielding staff and longsword, with an axe on his side.
-PC has a large scruffy beard?
-Also staff is bad-ass and it's giving off some kind of green energy.

Shrine Of Talos

-Talos getting ready to finish off dragonous creature
-Guessing it's the same shrine in Khajiit screen

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094604627.html?page=mediaFull

Giant

-Very tall grey man...looks like a deformed High Elf
-Clothing seems to be leather, yarn and fur and bones of some animal/creature
-Very large club

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094601315.html?page=mediaFull

Hunter In Woods

-Very good example of the varied tree types in Skyrim...very good detail in this tree type btw, Bethesda.
-PC looks like a muscular Robin Hood, also I think he used too much hair gel..oh well, I don't care
-Some people say it's a deer he's hunting, I say elk
-Fallen tree to the right, maybe we can chop the fallen part up and sell them?

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094554924.html?page=mediaFull

Dragon Moutains

-Dragon looks pretty pissed off up there.
-Perched atop a Nordic ruin
-Lovin' the detail in fog and makes the world seem more mysterious and somewhat thrilling and suspenseful.

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094552237.html?page=mediaFull

Tavern

-No more ugly NPCs
-NPCs seem more relexed and have different kinds of animations (NPC standing on left has his hands rested on bar, NPC sitting on left is relaxing, havin' a bruski, NPC in middle is getting some sweeping done, and NPC look at you is perhaps just looking at your is talking to you but has stopped her sentence. Maybe it's the new dialouge system in action but we can't tell)
-Dynamic shadows, just like Beth said..with barrels and stools showing off the shadows
-Candle chandalier made out of a horn, tooth or claw...dunno. Slaugtherfish mounted on wall. Elk head mounted on wall. Tusk right below slaughterfish. Cheese. Different shapes of bottles/potions.
-Bear fur rugs?
-Many different types of clothing on each NPC

Skills Menu

-Self-explanatory

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094919523.html?page=mediaFull

Word Wall

-I can just see this as being an epic first view within the first few minutes of the game.
-Mysterious being in center
-Spirits or statues mabye on the ground and on a ledge

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094607486.html?page=mediaFull

Frost Troll Fight

-Flamethrower spell?
-Near Nordic Ruin
Troll is engulfed in flames......just awesome!
-Bethesda really jumped into full detail with this game....seeing as you can look down this trolls throat.
-Hopefully blood on sword doesn't disappear within 10 seconds...and on the ground for that matter.

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094557315.html?page=mediaFull

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

-CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS GAME IS IN MY HANDS!!!!!!!!!

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110211094543003.html?page=mediaFull

Lake Waterfall

-Very beautiful spot to just stare at for hours, in game of course.
-Reflections are somewhat visible off of water, only light reflections though, would be nice to see full reflections though, especially at night with the moons out
-Definitely more variety in fauna.
-The view out in the distance with the fog and trees makes it seem like it's a chilly morning with overcast skies
-LOL..fun fact...look diagonally left and up about an inch from the IGN trademark sign...it looks like a miniature person hanging on for dear life lol

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033053299.html?page=mediaFull

Orc

-First off, BAD-ASS just like I hoped it would be.
-Facepaint, glass or blind eye, light beard, chipped tooth, bad choice of hair and all he needs is a nose ring...and you can even the see the pores in his face.
-I'd like to have that sword in my hands as well.
-Mysterious background...seems like that large tree is blocking the whole path...maybe takes place of invisible walls? (maybe most of the boundries in Skyrim are mountainous and you can ascend them)

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033050799.html?page=mediaFull

Moutains Trail

-Favorite landscape screen so far.
-Wolves and possible cave entrance to the left (cave entrance is a small black area to the right of the wolves, kind of easy to miss)

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14267318/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/images/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033047799.html?page=mediaFull

Khajiit

-Just as bad-ass as the Orc. Actually looks like the way they are supposed to..not like the action figures from OB.
-Shrine of Talos behind Khajiit
-Lanterns and candles on the shrine platform
-Iron armor? What do you think? Along with a wooden bow?
-The lighting is excellent in this one.
-Fire looks more real.
-AND WHISKERS!!!!



Others I have missed: Frost Troll Battle (concept), Nordic Barrow Ruin Exterior (concept), Markarth Castle (concept), Whiterun (concept), Mountains (argumented to be screen or concept, which the correct answer is screenshot)

*Could not find links for these*



P.S. I was bored...

I love the fact that Khajits have whiskers, I am a cat lover myself.

One thing I noticed about the Khajiit screenshot is that he's wearing some sort of head band. Clearly not part of the armor. Perhaps we get head jewelry?
