The loading images

Post » Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:01 am

Here's something I've been wondering - and a topic I've actually never seen adressed in this board. The images we see during the loading screens - have anyone tried to figure out where they are from? I know one is Anvil. There is one of a troll inside what looks like an Ayleid ruin, does anyone know which one? One seems to be from SI, but not sure what building. Seens we geeks tend to anolyze and debate every hair on every NPCs head, I figured someone might have done this job too. :deal:

Here are some I figured out...

1) Zombies in a ruined fort.

2) Ghosts in a cavern.

3) Goblins in a cavern.

4) Imperial Guard in front of Imperial Palace

5) A woman in a house smiling at you

6) A guard in an inn

7) Archers fighting someone (possibly reference to a certain battle in the MQ)

Yeah, I've seen those too. I was thinking more specific than that, though - what caverns? What Inn?

I was just thinking of this the other day, and worked these out:
The 'Woman smiling at you' is Estelle Renoit of Renoit's books in Chorrol.
I think the Goblins in a cavern are from the Tutorial dungeon.
One is Countess Milona Umbranox in front of an Anvil Inn.
The one about the Count of Bravil is WummekReenum, in front of the mages guild in Bravil.
I've never seen the guard one (or dont remmeber it), or the Ghost one.
I have a feeling the zombies are in Sancre Tor. Or maybe I'm wrong, it looks like a 'magical' for though...
The archer fighting Clanfears is from
Spoiler
Attack on Fort Sutch.

There's skeletons... Actually they might be from Sancre Tor.
The Elven dude in front of the Ayelied Ruin is from one of the promo shots.
And thats all I can remember for now.

One image looks like from inside Northen Goods and Trade in Chorrol, the image with someone wearing an elven helmet. One image is from Cheydinhal, a guard in front of the chapel

I can't be 100% positive .... but I personally think the Zombie picture is shot in the IC dungeons.

I don't remember the zombie one. There is one with a lady in a house with a fireplace, though. Is there a fireplace in Renoir's Books? I thought it looked like one of those independents Inns, like Brina Cross Inn. Anyone remember what Ayleid ruin has trolls in it? I know I've been to one, but can't remember which one.

Yes it is

Veyond outside of Leyawiin has some Azhklan trolls

I know the Argonian is Reenum standing in front of the Mages Guild Hall in Bravil.

The Archers are from an optional quest in the Main Questline.

One is obviously the Molag Bal Daedric shrine

The guy in the Elven Armor is a character used to test and market the game pre-release, or so I hear.

I could probably id some more but have step away for a while.

This is indeed a challenge worthy of Oblivion geekdom.

There are quite a few Deadric shrine images, Clavicus Vile and Peryite are definitely in there, as well as the Molag Bal already mentioned.

The one I've been trying to identify is the collection of weapons, mainly blunts, on a table. Anyone know where that comes from?

Some of them were taken from screenshots that were released during the development of the game, as you can see http://www.elderscrolls.com/art/obliv_pc_screens_01.htm.

Some of the places are easily identified.
