I completely disagree. I don't see how Oblivion didn't feel more expansive or real than Morrowind. Oblivion felt like an actual living world and the graphics and music added to that feeling. Morrowind was great but it did not invoke a feeling of a real, living, breathing world. As for what the guy you were quoting was saying, there was less exploration in Morrowind than in Oblivion. There were far more dungeons in Oblivion and most of them were more expansive as well. None of them looked the same either. If Oblivion's dungeons were cookiecutter then so was Morrowinds.

So I suppose you'd have enough with Skyrim having Minecraft graphics, don't you?

I'm not saying graphics are everything, but I always find funny those people who say "I don't care about graphics at all" instead of proposing (at least) the best graphics they could develop without compromising gameplay.

Uhm...to tell the truth, I didn't noticed those little things you mention. Maybe I'll pay more attention on my 2nd playthought (I'll do it when I have my new rig).

Ho... Hoho... Hahaha... Wahahaha

Oh right, you ain't kidding?

So long as they're decent by today's standard then it's fine I think. Doesn't have to be amazing, just not a pain to look at. I would prefare them to focus on the Art style more than the quality, for example the dragon shout in the trailer looks very nice, more of that, and the Stars look great too. Morrowind was a very alien world, oblivion was a very normal looking yet vivid world, Skyrim is supposed to be a dark sort of world isn;t it? So make the enemies more imposing looking(Which they are from the trailers) the i'm happy.

Also the new spells look really nice in general...

Either that or he has fish-like memory.



But you still need nice graphics for all that art and the worldspace to be satisfactory...

Yeah, and I feel that the current quality is good enough that they don't have to focus on it anymore(besides the rapids....). It's fine as it is imo. An impovement over Bethesda's previous games. Now just give it some nice scenery or think to look at, give some colourful magic. That's all I want from it on the graphics side. It's about time Bethesda had some actual cliffs though right? Hills in there other games were merely bumbs in the landscape.

Of course I would LIKE it to have better graphcis but it doesn't matter to me if they don't.

If you don't look at the trees you won't notice haha....The tree's do look a little weird though. Pc Higher res and anti aliasing though
Also they aren't going to...you know...follow us, like in Oblivion?

this is an rpg. part of tes is looking at dazzling environments! morrowind involved more exploring than any game i have played and i must say that exploring would have been better if it was photorealistic!

my first major grip is TEXTURES!!!!. they are horrible!! http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy297/b_harrison/skyrim/skyrim_gameplay_shout1.jpg this is a game where you attack your opponents realy CLOSE to you with mellee weapons! being realy close exposes the terrible textures! bethesda needs to sort their textures out! on the helmet you can see how detailed the scratches are- proving its high res. yet it looks so BAD. perhaps bethesda should at least try the cod method!

the cod technique is to slap a additional overlay onto materials. a soldier might have a low res camo uniform texture, but the overlay added seperatly makes all material with the cloth type have a cloth pattern added!
halo does this too, its most noticable when you see that their are scratches everywhere!!

running water would look fine if it wasnt all white and instead used a refraction map!



skyrim needs cloth physics and dx11!! look at the shingles on the roof from the gameplay video!



on the plus side distant shots and fog look awesome

Also, someone's gotta confirm this for me, the dragon fight in the trailer, wasn't and actual fight was it? It was rendered right. Like a cutscene? I heard Bethesda came out and said the whole thing was just first and third person perspective's of fights. But the dragon battle is to cinematic...Or have I underestimated Bethesda?
Speedtree, that was it. It was hilarious sometimes though, it was like the tree was looking at you sometimes. Walking by one in Cheydinhal....scary stuff

You sir have annoyed me not only have Beth worked hard for 5 years on this and u feel u can de value that in 5 mins, critiques do not use words like bad or horrible that's the most pathetic thing I've heard on here in a while, it's a open world rpg designed on xbox get a grip it's looks great for what it is...if you are over 16 I'm very disappointed with your grasp of the subject matter.
I'm fed up will the negative down right abusive attacks on this game, it's not perfect but how can it be grow up people and understand what to exspect within the relems of pissability I knows it's a fantasy game but your mind is not get ur facts straight. the only peice I'll agree with is more games should support dx11 but will the issues involved and the current trends I don't see it being important compared to the chances in animation quality and game features. I'm done, hope all the kids can grow up and c that skyrim is shaping up to be one ofthe best games All Round ever made.

I don't see how thinking something looks bad is in some way ungrateful, or why indeed we need to be overly grateful for the ability to buy a product. If everybody was like you, and said everything was perfect all the time, then there would never be any reason to improve. While I'm sure you would prefer this forum full of praise, praise without the ability to criticise is utterly meaningless.
