They are not scans, they are screenshots, and Pete Hines himself posted an article with http://twitter.com/#!/DCDeacon/status/125959395640229888 on Twitter. He clearly said today we would have had screenshots and here they are, what's the problem?

Maybe a bit more of flexibility wouldn't hurt.

The northern lights-image is ridiculously wide. I think the northern lights look a bit weird too... Like they were see through a fish eye lens, while the rest of the landscape looks normal, but not very detailed...

She knows the ones currently being done are ok but people are idiots and she obviously doesn't want to come here and have to remove links.

She knows I think she is talking about not mixing in scans with these new ones

I'd just like to enjoy official screenshots on the forums instead of always looking only at the official website, because you can't talk about them there.

Like I said in another thread, who thinks that the area where the Northern Lights are is where the Volkihar vampires inhabit? ( if they are in the game )

@OP
You're not going to talk about that water in the Apprentice Stone screenshot? :confused:

Gotcha :tops:



It just looks like water to me :unsure:

And ya, thanks for the higher resolution pictures, guys! I will replace them.

And just to be safe, I will only do the ones today. Sorry, summer's rules

In the Northern Coast Screen it looks like there is a ruin hidden within that glacier. Also if you maximize the image the small dirt coast on the left side of the screen looks as though it may have a horker on it. may just be a stone though. You know how the eyes see what the brain wants it to see

Where can I find that orc? I want his armor IMMEDIATELY!

Also, all these screens are gorgeous. The draugr lord one is epic. Though call me crazy, but I think that's an elven axe, not glass, though you can't really tell with the lighting. It looks like it can go either way, depending on whether it's gold or green. And the draugr lord probably isn't wearing daedric, at least not daedric armor we can loot and equip. It's probably just armor that's a part of the 'draugr lord skin,' like netch lether armor was part of the goblin skins in Oblivion.

Anyway, great screenshots, great anolysis.

Water? It looks like the blue gel out of Portal 2.
Maybe it's just me that's disappointed with it. Sorry

The Orc with the hammer? I'm pretty sure that's just a version of Iron armor. You'll most likely have it by the time you're out of the starter area.

If it has the IGN logo on it, does it mean it is official?

Also, I updated the OP with the high resolution screens

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.

*runs off to put IGN logos on everything*

High Hrothgar is nowhere near Solitude and that is a tiny mountain. It's not HH.

LOVE IT. Thanks TGL, you the man! I liked your anolysis as well.

That's what it looks like to me. That's what I love about new Bethesda games. Even the early items look amazing. I'm looking at a variant of iron armor going "awesome, I want" just like I did after seeing the trailer for Oblivion and seeing the Imperial Legion armor (which then was believed to be Iron armor).

As awesome as the Legion armor was, after a year or two in the game, it became so mundane that I no longer cared when I saw it. With a new game, there's new items to go nuts over, and a couple years before it fades into the "meh" category.

I see that orc in the armor and picture my imperial with a sword and dagger sheathed at his belt, and a shield and a bow on his back, and I'm pumped to finally play. If iron armor is getting me this excited, I don't know what I'm going to do when I find Ebony, which is almost always my favorite armor in the series for my warrior characters.

I have four exams this week (one in 2 hours) and I'm looking at pictures of armor for a game coming out in a month. Damn you Bethesda... damn you...

Yes I thought it was a roadkill.

The curved plant is a practice dummy I believe.

EDIT: Upon further review I can confirm it is a practice dummy. It even has a target painted on it and a fake sword and shield attached to it.

taking an agressive tone with someone who can technically make your forum account disappear is a poor decision in my opinion.

I PM'd a moderator to get some confusion cleared on if the other screens are scans or not...

So sit tight

I seen them on VG247 so I highly doubt they are scans...

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

Looks like a plant to me? The water in the standing stone screen looks amazing!

whats with the umberella?
