-Is that the Morning Glory plant (From Oblivion) to the left of it? Or Nightshade?

I believe it's Monkshood, this is how it was seen on Oblivion http://images.uesp.net/0/06/OB_Flora_Monkshood.jpg

And if it has the IGN logo. Does it mean it is official?

I've seen the exact same screen shots on the VG247 website... http://www.vg247.com/2011/10/17/dragonborn-three-hours-hands-on-with-skyrim/is a rather established source of information, so I highly doubt a professional website will be using scans. Also don't know if you were trying to be scornful at the end there but you did come off quite arrogant at the end there.

I'm acually a lot more impressed by the Orc- PC fight than anything else. The Aurora looked average to me, but for the console i can see why everyone would wet themselves. The Grassy fields of Rohan (lol) looked a lot better for displaying shadowing improvements i think. I can definitely see the DX11 at work and the resolutions on the grass look quite nice. I think its pretty obvious that roughly less than half are PC screens.

Im pretty sure Skyrim isnt a DX11 game in that it utilizes none of its features, only the optimizations.

Correct, but Todd or Pete did say in the past that Skyrim can use DX11 but mainly it is a DX9/10

By that they mean, like I said, the optimizations. You will probably get better performance with a DX11 card but you wont be seeing any DX11 eyecandy.

Alright, so the remaining screens (The ones Pete Hines released) are official, please do not ask me to do the 'illegal' ones! (Azura's shrine, etc.)

Sit tight as I will finish up the anolysis on the remaining screens!

I was under the impression that those types of shadows and lighting could only be achieved under DX11?

The Solitude one is my favorite.
I don't why, it's just awesome.

Whew, all done!

So there you have it, my anolysis on the Official screens, throw anything I missed or correct me on anything

Nah. No graphical DX11 features will be utilised, unless Beth decides to be awesome and release a DX11 patch.
