Regular readers will have gathered that I've been playing a lot of Skyrim lately. I put two other games on hold that I was already deep into, just because Skyrim is such an engrossing experience. One of the great reasons for its captivating nature, I believe, lies with its visual design. The game is beautiful, simply put. I constantly find myself in awe of the landscapes that lay before me, spamming the F12 key everywhere I go, like some kind of Nordic photographer.
As I write this article, Steam says I have 790 Skyrim screenshots. And I'm still not through playing the game, so I'll most certainly be adding a few hundred more to my collection. Since I have so many, I figured I'd share some of my more artistic shots that depict some of the more beautiful aspects of the game. All of them are "ruined" by HUD elements, because I was too lazy to bother with disabling it, but I'm going to justify that I like them being there because it adds gameplay context for everything.
Since I've got so many of these screenshots, I'll be posting them in multiple articles. Click the full article for the screens.
These were originally taken in 1920x1080 resolution, but Blogger may have forced them to a smaller res. You can click all of them for higher resolution, and if anyone specifically wants any in 1920x1080 to use as a wallpaper, let me know and I can upload them separately.

ReplyDeleteYou've got some amazing shots here, but seriously, toggle the menus.
ReplyDeletenoob, learn how to mod properly, this looks uGLY
ReplyDeleteHow about you learn how to read dates on posted articles? This article was posted in February 2012, based on mods I was using in early January -- a mere two months after the game first came out, when the modding scene was still in its early infancy and being able to play the game on high graphics settings at 1080p was considered a luxury. If these screenshots are "uGLY" it's because they're a product of their time and not due to me somehow not knowing how to mod properly -- whatever the hell that even means.
