Elder Scrolls

>Elder Scrolls games have such a good ambience and atmosphere
>posts an illustration because the actual in game scene is nothing like it

If you like this casual shit gtfo from Yea Forums and come back when you've played sekiro, scrub. Git gud.

It's the only thing they have
>good story
nope
>good combat
nope

Basically TES has nothing but atmosphere

Check out this gatekeeping.
>Implying i can't play and like different games
Get out of here with that weak shit

That's kind of its charm though. It's why it's a cool world to roleplay in.

I agree with you to an extent. I sort of see TES similar to open source software where you use the framework to write your own adventure for your character. Unfortunately the quests all work and end the same no matter what race/skills your characters is/have. But then you have additional user created addons where you could further add to your characters adventure.

It's an interesting concept and i know of no other game/community where this is the whole point.

I remember the first time I played Oblivion and I was really impressed and ended up exploring around instead of doing quest/missions. So I guess, yeah your are right OP, it's perfect if you just want a comfy exploration game.

>posting all fan art instead of screenshots
Must not enjoy the atmosphere of the games as much as the universe then?

Rofl, japs can't make games worth a damn, they're all SHIT.

Probably because a modder spent hours laboring for free to put atmosphere into Bethesda's shitty barebones game.

Are you ultimate badass too, or just another vanilla pleb?

>fan art
Let's be fair to OP, that's official art from Lederer. The two drunk Nords sitting in the front are stand ins for him and the other concept artist who died.

>not even an ingame screenshot
>hurr durr blue and orange so atmospheric

Jeremy Soule is the reason I keep coming back
no matter how bad a mood I'm in, his music heals my fucking soul

>lore
Butchered since Oblivion

His contribution was the only good thing about Skyrim. He was allegedly not even invited to work on TESVI so that's the last reason to look forward to it out the door.

>hurr durr blue and orange so atmospheric
user, that kind of tends to happen at night. Night sky won't turn red and normal fire green just because a color scheme is overused elsewhere.

It's a cheap way to make things look "good". Just add blue and orange. You see this pattern everywhere.

>He was allegedly not even invited to work on TESVI
this better be a slightly out of season april fools joke, because that honestly is a deciding factor in whether I even consider buying it

>consider buying it
There's been no reason to in any way support Bethesda for over a decade

I really only felt good atmosphere from morrowind. Skyrim and oblivion were seriously lacking in comparison.

>Because the artists and environment designers are some of the best around
Oblivion and Skyrim look boring as shit tho. No variety, nothing feels magical even when it's supposed to. Just bland, open fields filled with nothing, but entrances to the same dungeon.

This is art school entry level tier art.
Like all TES fans you have no conception of quality.

I definitely felt it with Oblivion, even though the game was very bland in comparison to Morrowind

Concept art always looks better than the actual game, why don't you post a vanilla screenshot of Whiterun instead?

It's a cheap way when used in a cheap way, which is pretty often. But that is how night looks like. So unless you want to ban artists from making night paintings, the only other option you have is taking it up with nature, I'm afraid.

Oblivion is weird, because the art direction is very bland, but the graphic style is very vivid; the designs are boring and standard, but everything has a kind of 'oil painting' look to it which is very appealing

I don't want to ban anyone. I'm just calling out the artist on using a cheap way to make his art look good. Look at what the post above yours says.

It's like the complete opposite of what Cyrodiil should've been like (river-based Aztec-Chinese-Roman Empire with dragons and tattooed mages) but the cities are comfy (at least all the northern ones, ignoring Bravil and Leyawiin) and the woods are very inviting

The appeal for me is that it's fucking retarded and artificial in a really distinct and entertaining way.

I love elder scrolls

Skyrim is the most redpilled AAA videogame of all time.

While you are at it, may I point you to some other artists who need to be called out too?

Ban night. Ban darkness. Ban fires, and lights, the stars and the moon. And above all, ban them from ever appearing together. They shall never sully art with their cheap pleasantly contrasting colors ever again.

(((elves)))

There you go again acting like a complete retard without even reading the post you're replying to. Like a true TES fag.

If you like medieval fantasy you'll like oblivion and Skyrim.

No, user. I understand what you are saying. And I'm saying that I'm fucking tired of idiots over-exaggerating a non-issue because someone somewhere pointed out to them that teal/orange is an overused color scheme. Harp at the posters, the marketing materials, wrappings and whatever, but getting mad at any art that uses it, no matter if it's appropriate or not, is absolute autism.

How the game looks I couldn't give less of a fuck about, OP or anyone else can post their screenshots and whatnot. But this shit, this annoys me because I see it more and more and it's fucking retarded.

I don't know...

How do you not get burned out playing tes?

It's hilarious how everyone gets it wrong when it comes to oblivion and skyrims faults. As if by including levitation and stats it would have been a great game. The problem with TES has always been:

- a lack of in game roleplaying opportunities, eg multiple resolutions to quests
- underwhelming main quest lines
- a lack of memorable NPCs

The problems in other words are largely about writing and roleplaying opportunities. Not mechanics. Every single tes game has had these problems. Every single one.

I would only consider that art to be good if you replaced the night time with daytime and it still looks good.
>But this shit, this annoys me because I see it more and more and it's fucking retarded
Then apparently you weren't here around 2012 when complaining about blue and orange was literally a meta on this board.

Imagine elder scrolls with good quest/writing and not retarded scaling

There are good quests but there's no variability in them. No divergence. Virtually no dialogue options. These are the issues with TES as a franchise. People seething about acrobatics being dropped as a skill are fucking retarded myopic autists.

That's funny, because I remember those threads being mainly about cover arts and bullshots, anything else was just joking.
>I would only consider that art to be good if you replaced the night time with daytime and it still looks good.
How do you know it wouldn't? Nigga it's just a damn paint-over of a screenshot.

>How do you know it wouldn't?
Yeah, how dare I question such a thing. I should just believe whatever ideas a popular trend forces on me instead of being critical.

Dude, what. I simply asked you why you think it so unbelievable that this particular paint-over might look good even if it was a daytime piece. Question such a thing? Believe popular trends? Are we still talking about concept art?

It would probably look less good. Would it look bad? I don't know. Less good? Almost certainly. The point is that the blue/orange pattern is an easy way to make things look more atmospheric than they are.
