Post 3 screenshots you like, 3 screenshots you dislike, 3 sc

Post » Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:40 am

Being bored, I thought it would be nice to hear what screenshots people on the forum like, dislike and hope for in a short, yet constructive way.

Here are two main sources to link screenshots to:
http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Pre-Release_Content
(http://oyster.ignimgs.com/ve3d/images/08/65/86535_CompositeMountain.jpg)

(How to hotlink a screenshot from the Skyim official media site:)
Spoiler
1. Left click on the image so it zooms in, 2. Right click on the image and select "Open image in new tab"

The idea of this thread is simple, yet effective. Post...
3 screenshots you like (e.g. it could be a specific thing in the image you like, or the whole image in general)
3 screenshots you dislike (e.g. it could be a specific thing in the image you dislike, or the whole image in general)
3 screenshots you hope for (e.g. it could be a type of landscape, a city, a combat scene, a night/sunset/sunrise scene, a dungeon scene you hope to see be released as a screenshot by Bethesda)

Also, you must tell WHY you like, dislike and hope for it.
If you for instance you dislike no screenshots at all, then simply leave that part out and point out the screenshots you like especially much! :)

Here's me:

I like:
- http://oyster.ignimgs.com/ve3d/images/08/65/86535_CompositeMountain.jpg, because it looks beautiful and a vast improvement over Oblivion's mountains. The fog is amazing.
- http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/DragonApproach_wLegal.jpg, because the lighting and snow looks great and really "fresh". It's almost as if you could feel the cold wind and breathe the cold air.
- http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/ForestHunt_wLegal.jpg, because the trees look really great and the lighting looks very good. The color hue from golden trees to the slightly blue fog in the distance is beautiful.

I dislike:
- http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/WhiterunExterior01_wLegal.jpg, because the lighting looks way too bland and washed out.
- http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/DragonFight.jpg, because bloom/shaders looks very low quality and outdated.
- http://images.uesp.net/f/fb/SR-WarriorHammer_wLegal.jpg, because there's barely any texture depth at all and it makes texture quality look heavily outdated for 2011.

I hope for:
- a screenshot of the ocean in the north on a stormy day.
- a screenshot of a vast valley filled with trees and mountains at sunset, where you look directly into the sun.
- a screenshot of one of the cities at a busy day from "street perspective"

Very interesting post and ineresting choices.

I like:
-- http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/ice-wraiths/
-- http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/orc-night/
-- http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/riften/

I dislike:
-- You kidding? I honestly like all of them. Some are my least favorite rather than most disliked, that's all.

I hope for:
-- a screen of that Lich-like creature described in someones eurogamer experience post. Lots of cool masks, apparently.
-- a screen of the very dense forests of Falkreath at night while two wizards battle.
-- a screen of a heavily, richly clad warrior standing on a pinnacle looking over the volcanic tundra.

    I like...
  • http://images.uesp.net/c/c5/SR-character-Bosmer_wLegal.jpg I really like this one, just because it shows that the Bosmer
    A. Don't have to look disturbing.
    B. Might not be taken as jokes anymore.
  • http://images.uesp.net/6/68/SR-ElvenArmor_wLegal.jpg, there's just something about it that makes it feel like you're an explorer discovering something that's been long forgotten. Despite the candles and the torches still working.
  • http://images.uesp.net/a/ac/SR-TownCastle_wLegal.jpg just seems like pure scenery... uh... suggestive imagery, and I love it.



I dislike...
http://images.uesp.net/8/86/SR-GiantSpider_wLegal.jpg, because I have enough of an issue with spiders smaller than the side of my thumb.
http://images.uesp.net/f/fb/SR-WarriorHammer_wLegal.jpg, because the guy's face is much more red than the rest of his body, which just looks "off".
And http://images.uesp.net/5/5f/SR-character-Machinima_wLegal.jpg, because now I'm worried I won't make one of my characters who's supposed to be a beautiful Dunmer woman. Which isn't to say that she has to be beautiful to be a good character, it's just it influences a lot of situations and decisions.


I hope for...
Some screenshots of how the kids look, just because I made a mod to add children to my game (I played a Bosmer Single mother living in Bravil, it was actually a lot of fun) a while back and Beth's probably look http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac87/MartutTES/ScreenShot117.jpg.
Some screenshots of vampires
Some screenshots of the more snowy areas to the north

Like
1 Nord Barmaid :hubbahubba:
2 Whiterun screenshot, because it looks like Rohan
3 The Markarth Side screenshot, because it is just awesome.

Dislike
1 Mudcrab pic, because it isn't fighting a dragon.
2 Most dragon pics, because I've seen enough
3 The Ice Wraith pic, the ice wraths look funny.

Want to see
1 MUDCRAB VS DRAGON
2 Solitude
3 A greybeard.

My turn! :shrug:

What I like. ( really ****ing like)

http://images.uesp.net/thumb/4/4e/SR-ForestHunt_wLegal.jpg/800px-SR-ForestHunt_wLegal.jpg

I wish to live the life of a normal hunter in one of my playthroughs. (No MQ or adventuring, just selling pelts and making a life, get married etc.)

http://images.uesp.net/4/4b/SR-Tavern01_wLegal.jpg

Love the sixy face, but also how in the background there is someone sweeping the floor, and how the bartender is standing.

http://images.uesp.net/3/3b/SR-TavernKill01_wLegal.jpg

I love how there is now sneak dagger finishers. It was really disatisfying sneaking up on someone and just attacking them normally. Also the bard and the sweeping again :P



What I dislike.

http://images.uesp.net/6/68/SR-ElvenArmor_wLegal.jpg

Bad textures, dissapointed.

http://images.uesp.net/6/63/SR-DragonArmorWoman_wLegal.jpg

Moon looks fake.

http://images.uesp.net/0/04/SR-WarriorFeast_wLegal.jpg

Don't like the blind eyes. I hope not alot of people have them.

I hope for

- A screenie of Dragon armor. In full

- A screenie of a vampire :chaos:

- and a screenie of beastie children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Ice wraith screenshot is awesome as well. Love the horizon and armour :D
Also, really great examples of screenshots to hope for.
Wizard battle at night in a very dense forest, and a warrior standing on a pinnacle looking over volcanic tundra. Damn, I'd love to see that! :celebration:
