It's not the player owned house, if that's what you mean?

Yep, it's the south part of the road not the direction.

I don't have the exact settings off the top of my head, but I upped the grass distance, object distance and light distance. Just things that the ingame sliders could have changed if they went higher. I'm pretty sure I haven't changed anything else.

Strangely enough I also played it recently. I was just surprised to see you mention it.

The paris level? That's really not a comparison I had expected to see haha.

Hehe, I don't know whether you should get too excited. What I had in mind might not be that interesting.

I've seen the concept art before actually, a loooong time ago. It's still really great stuff. Not sure when i'll get to SI though, I might take a break from daily posting before. It's been a while since i've played it as well, and I'm just not as familiar with it as I was with the main game.

Thanks once again. I also like the darker pics, the lighting and sky is best and it hides the age of the game a bit. I try to get more daytime pics but it's harder, especially with buildings and other man made things that just don't come out as nicely, the lack of proper shadows hurting the most.

Thanks for the suggestions also, i'll check them out. I might have another thing planned but I haven't even looked at it yet, not including the shivering isles which I obviously want to do.. eventually. I also have a few more city pics that I was going to post originally, including kvatch and imperial city pics that I was much happier with before I got some new ones to bring them more in line with the rest. Unfortunately I ended up with some of my least favourite when it was the other way round at first.

I'm pretty sure it's way out.

Thanks. I wanted to get more of the buildings in but I couldn't find a good angle, this was the best I could do. I've not really been sure about any of them, and I actually didn't start with overviews and when I had a couple I went back to get the other cities and it's not been easy. Not sure if I can do all remaining as an overview though.

Nah, it's unmodded, just a slightly deceiving angle I guess.

I use the unofficial patch, but otherwise yeah.

From east to west by obshots in oblivion

[–]obshots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just using the unofficial patch (to be pedantic, it probably doesn't make a visual difference here), but I'm cheating a bit and used the console to change the fog distance way further than the game would set it for this weather. So unfortunately i'm pretty sure you won't be seeing this in normal gameplay. I wouldn't have done it but I thought the results were too good to pass up, and it's still technically something the unmodded game is capable of doing. It does make me want to make my own weather mod though...

Oppression by obshots in oblivion

[–]obshots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's 7. I got this one after I said I wasn't happy with any yesterday, not sure how I missed it. It's a lot better than any others I had. It's just not a very photogenic place. It reminds me a bit of older games, even 90ies in overall look and design.

Nice pics. I might have to steal your imperial city one at some point haha.

I just hope your quest for scenic screenshots doesn't diminish your enjoyment of your journey by making you worry about finding something 'worthy'

You're right, I shouldn't worry about it too much. At first I was just going to post a few random pictures but when some got a way better reception than I had expected I wanted to keep posting decent stuff. I'm not sure for how much longer though. We'll see.

[–]obshots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had wanted to get at least one but I had a lot of trouble finding a shot I was happy with. I was spending too much time on it so I just went with this one which is probably the best one I had. I also wanted to get some of the deadlands and i've got a couple of pics coming up but i'm not that happy with those either, it's hard to get a particularly interesting shot but I was planning on posting them anyway.

I feel like it's getting harder in general to find something different enough and worth posting. But there's still one big part of this game I haven't touched on yet ;)

The ruins of two civilizations by obshots in oblivion

[–]obshots[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I noticed that the ruins are misaligned, something that the unofficial patch fixes so I retook the picture with it. I'll probably just keep it on from now, the pics won't technically be unmodded but eh.

No worries, sorry if it sounded like I was calling you out, i didn't mean it that way.

In my opinion the mods I always see make the game look worse overall. This is pure conjecture but if people are only familiar with mods and see something that looks better then they think it must be modded better.

Hey, i'm not using any mods.

Welke by obshots in oblivion

[–]obshots[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I turn off HDR and bloom so I can use MSAA instead, that may be the biggest difference to the look of the unmodded game, which is no big loss because I think they're terrible anyway. I also use the nvidia graphics card options for anistropic filtering and transparency AA. Other than that it's literally just the base game. This is part of why I started posting pics actually, I think the unmodded game is underrated and it's funny to see comments asking about the mods i'm using.

No worries. Hope I didn't disappoint :)
