Geez man, almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you might have had some pertaining info.

If it's half the upgrade that Oblivion was to Morrowind, I'll definitely hit the hospital up.

That's an interesting title, Elsweyr, could be a phonetic prank. I can't wait though, I'm sure it'll be beautiful. There was rumor at one time that it'd be an mmo, wonder what's up w/ that.

We don't KNOW it's going to be online at all, there are lots of companies that acquire domain names that have no relevance to the name, it's an educated guess, but I for the moment am dismissing that as proof, and quite frankly I'd hate it if it was online only.

Also, never trust "screenshots" that look far superior to what the best games available to date look like, that will have been made as a single rendered shot, so a lot more power can be put into it, and as it shows no relevant information (except looking pretty) I don't see it as useful one bit.

Please don't get me wrong, I LOVED Oblivion and I REALLY REALLY REALLY can't wait for TES:V but most of the "information" out there at the moment can be picked apart.

Still, playing across all of Tamriel will be sweet

Yeah it's probably not really to be trusted, but couldn't you imagine frolicking and killing through a world that looks like that. I know I could, so the picture is perhaps not totally worthless......

Oh I know, I could imagine that, but this always happens, one amazingly rendered still shoot, then when the actual in-game shots come out people are disappointed.

It is a province of Tamriel:

actually, we can be preety sure that it will be online, that was planned and announced by bethesdha a little after oblivion.

while the name isn't set in stone, bethesdha has copyrighted a bunch of names recently: possiblilities include: skyrim(one of the biggest rumors about V say that the main of the story will take place in skyrim) , and shadowrealm(very damn possible, very popular as well)


here are the other 2 pics from it:


-actually looks like it might be very damn real, and the other one is, by far the most popular,:

We can be pretty sure that TES:V will be set anywhere in Tamriel, the names are just the other regions of Tamriel, like how Oblivion was set in Cyrodill. So really until we hear any concrete information it could be any one of them (or all of them).

As for thos pictures, they're both from Oblivion. The Church is from the back of the KoN box with the Crusader super-imposed over the top, and the other picture was out when Oblivion was announced, and with modification of the ini files you can make Oblivion look that good

Not to mention all the enhancement mods out too. You can death-choke a video card with the amount of mods to pretty it up.

I agree on the first picture especially. The church looks exactly like they do in Oblivion.

With absolutely EVERYTHING turned on, and using the work around to get HDR and AA working together Oblivion really can look like that.
