You should, you should! 'Tis a very pretty game. None of those shots were doctored in any way, BTW, though I have seen some simply phenomenal images that have been tweaked over on the official forums.

I would like to, but I think the game would be very laggy and slow on my computer. If I get a new one at anytime with better specs, I think I would go for it. Just the photos in this thread alone, without gameplay to go with it, are a teaser indeed!

These have been sitting around for months (and I do mean months), so I figured I'd post them.

The Bridge
Sunrise or Sunset? I forgot.
Lute Playing: 'Cause there isn't much else to do while waiting for that final boss to spawn.
Bird
Horseback Except she has Guar now.
As a (very ugly) Wolf
Prayer I was using /kneelpray while waiting for somebody in /zone to respond to my offer of a free werewolf bite. That guy came along and imitated me (while trying to get me to join his werewolf guild).
Companions My newest character standing around with Varen and Lyris. The giant, the old man, and the lizard with his pet mechanical spider.

I discovered that a shade of purple, applied to fabric, gives a really odd result - gold/violet. Naturally, it is used for a stealth-based character.

Three random shots I took while messing around yesterday:
Playing with a Guar
New Outfit She ran around for a few hours killing and farming (worms hate me) with that on.
Illaria Quintus Not sure if I'm going to keep her, but I gotta admit, she's probably the prettiest character I've managed.

Edit:
The last two screenshots taken with my old PC...
The Lute
An Imperial and her Critters

So I went on a nostalgia tour of Stonefalls and decided to snap a few shots to share.

The first is of my (ever-scowling) Dunmer posing over basalt columns by Ebonheart, where the lava meets the water. The depth-of-field effect is caused by opening in-game menus. I simply use an add-on to temporarily disable the UI, which leaves the depth-of-field effect present.

This next shot was taken at the Brothers of Strife monument. I felt the lighting was perfect for giving it an inspiring appearance. Also, my Netchling says "hello".

There's one add-on called Photographer that additionally hides quest and follower markers as well as the target glows.

Sedrethi, you might want to try using the rimg tag rather than the img tag. That reduces the size of the picture so it fits within the forum properly. And then users can click on the image to see it full size.

I'm still impressed by your pictures, especially since I'd never seen the brothers in the Brothers of Strife mountains before.

Thanks for the tip, baratron. Didn't even notice that as a BBCode tag on here, despite clicking "hide" right next to it. And thank you—I'm glad you're enjoying the random shots I take in-game. :)

I was going to post these last night before I went to bed, but Imgur broke (couldn't upload anything). Seems to be working now, at least.

Normal images (First three are potential Wrothgar spoilers):
Spoiler:
The Ruins
The (Mad) Orc King Never trust a man that sounds like Sheogorath. Trust his mother even less.
Ending
Lazy Lizard
Sunset Watcher


And there was a bit of fun going on at the Wayrest wayshrine last night. I kept hearing about it on TS, so I ran over there with my male Argonian, dressed as a woman for the occasion. Only took two shots of it, though.
Staff Flute
Guar Situps

Edit:
From messing around with Rashira...
The Bored Witness Because this one has been there before.
Lute and Bear and Bird Was bored while waiting for the sun to set so I could begin my hunt for a Werewolf spawn.
Will the Rain Away
Bear Rider
Oh, dear. She doesn't look too healthy. First night in AD Reaper's March and bloodfiends spawned... So I figured I'd go for the achievements. I'll have to get Rashira cured at some point so that she can become a Werewolf like she was meant to be.

wow i thought i was the only one who spent atleast half his time making nature photography in videogames (even used to do it in GTA5 lmao). With the increase in graphic quality this is becoming more and more indistinguishable from real nature photography.

Sadly im on ps4 so if i were to want to showcase all the screens i made id have to spent ages uploading them to my special ps4 screenshot account on my twitter wich only accepts 4 screenshots every qeue.

All of these are from when I was getting Rashira up into the vet ranks so she could earn me champion points. Ignore the extra bits of UI that, for some reason, aren't disabled when you turn off the UI. Shouldn't need an addon for that...

Stirk
Coldharbour
Waiting to Bite
The Titan Waits
She's Positively Glowing
Main Quest Spoiler: Molag Bal
The Brothers

Edit:
From January 28th and 29th...

On the Wall
As Requested... Waiting to give a vampire bite away in AD... Yep. Kept going like that until Shifty arrived. It was either that or do /sit3 on top of the altar again...


Edit for February 19th:
Just adding some more...

The Siege If only I'd taken that a bit sooner... There was a full 20/20 siege until some went down.
Stormy Skies
Howling
A Bloody Mess Finally got a shot of Rashira after she gave a bite.
A guard with 0 health? First time I've seen anything like that. If you can get a guard stuck in a spot where they can't hit you with anything but their CC abilities, they make fairly good punching bags. Those two v16s there were pounding on him for ages. Didn't realize it was possible to feel bad for a guard...
Jaharis Nyrazik DC Stamina Templar. First lived as Disara Nyrazik in EP, but I hated that name. Much happier with this one. Now she just needs her Camels. Don't like how she looks on a Senche, though... Might just by the Palomino horse.
Murdergoat They need to add more pets with special little touches like this.
An Awkward Hiding Spot Yeah... DC didn't find me there until EP started attacking that side.

And it's time for you to vote: Who Wore It Better?

Brih'nassi, female Khajiit
Ravyn Sedrethi, male Dunmer vampire
or Scales-Like-Stone, male Argonian?

(Kinda annoying that I couldn't get all 3 players' costumes in proper focus at once. Oh well.)

I think the lizard wore it best, though Seddy's practically ghostly Dunmer is also fetching.

Guess where I am!

A photo I took for a contest. The theme was "Consequences of war".

Move over, cobwebs!

Yesterday in the Discord we were showing off some of our characters, so I thought I'd bring the conversation over here and plop some portraits into the photographer's guild here. :D

A few of mine:
Faldaril, my current main and delightful Altmer templar
Remasa Andrelo, a Dunmer mage
Aurens Kilkenny, my first character yanked right off the beta server - because Bretons are cool, too! :wat:
and my namesake, Avron the S'wit, looking ridiculous because I, too, am ridiculous

I love seeing people's characters... Some people are into houses and decorating, some achievement hunt, but I love putting outfits together, so character observation is among my favorite things. (Also, I shamelessly love ridiculous and/or witty character names, hehehe.)

And some bonus scenery:
Dwemer ruins
Clockwork City
On the disappearing island
City through the trees
Huzzah!

Hey thanks Deandra. I just have a conditioned aversion toward asking for privileges, I'm the antithesis of the people asking "Can I get ops?" generally.
