The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

As one of the site's leading contributors of images it's inevitable that I'd build up a collection of screenshots that aren't really suitable for the wiki but are too beautiful not to use somewhere. I'm going to use this page to show off some of the best.

[edit] Anvil at Dawn

A while ago I revisited Kvatch to play the excellent Kvatch Rebuilt mod. Leaving the city one morning and taking the direct route to Anvil I couldn't help but be impressed by this sunrise over the Wayshrine of Zenithar.

[edit] Beautiful Bravil

Who says Bravil is an ugly city? Well... it is, but get everything lined up just right and it has a certain rustic charm. I'd just leveled up by sleeping in my Bravil home and came outside to see this.

[edit] Bridge at Dawn

The Bridge carrying the Red Ring Road over the River Niben. I got this when I was looking into exactly where the regions ended and must have spent an hour grabbing shots of this bridge. It's the lonely Imperial Guard that really makes it for me!

[edit] Bruma from Cloud Ruler Temple

I had just dropped Martin off at the temple, came outside and saw this. I'm sure some people would say it's part of doing good :)

[edit] Dibella's Sunset

The KotN plugin newly installed I went to talk to the Prophet. Turning around again, this was what I saw.

[edit] Fire on the Water

Another sunset, but isn't it a good one? This is the double lake to the southwest of Nenyond Twyll / southeast of Nisin Cave. This one was sort of planned. I was running around the area and found the lake (see Waterfall below) and but decided a sunset shot would look even better. This one is taken from the east shore, looking across towards the Ayleid Well on the hill to the west.

[edit] Forest, Mountains and Sun

I have no idea where this one is although I'd guess it's somewhere in the Great Forest near Chorrol.

[edit] Frostcrag and Moons

I'd gone to Gnoll Mountain to check something out and noticed the two moons together in the sky. I thought a dramatic shot of Frostcrag Spire against the moons would work well and used the console to make sure the weather was perfect. The only problem is that it's difficult to get it bright enough without ruining the moment.

[edit] Garlas Malatar at Sunset

This one was pure luck. I coc'd in to Garlas Malatar to grab the external map for the Oblivion Places Redesign Project. As soon as the load screen disappeared I was presented with this scene of the sun setting over the Abecean Sea.

[edit] Gottshaw Moon

Running back from Anvil, still trying to boost my Athletics skill, I was going to pop into the Gottshaw Inn to invest and saw this.

[edit] The Imperial City at Sunset

I'd started a new game and was exploring the land as well as doing some of the easier quests. I'd just been to Roland Jenseric's Cavern and decided to get a couple more map markers. Heading back from Belda I saw this scene of the sun setting over Lake Rumare.

[edit] In Oblivion

I finally succumbed and started the main quest. 60 gates to go and counting... They're dull but not all bad; this dramatic shot presented itself to me whilst doing my first gate after Kvatch.

[edit] Jerall Sunrise

This one came just after Frostcrag and Moons. I saw the line of the mountains and decided a shot of the sun rising from behind them would be perfect. Luckily the cloud I'd banished for the previous photo had come back.

[edit] Kvatch from Skingrad

This one is already on the site but it's so beautiful I want it here too. I seem to remember I was ambling aimlessly around to the south of Skingrad looking for wayshrines when this scene came into view. Unfortunately I always used to mix up Skingrad and Cheydinhal, hence the rather inaccurate name.

[edit] Lake Rumare and the Imperial City

Having finally got to the right level I was on my way to Mephala's shrine, taking the direct route, and saw this scene. This one is taken with Quarl's Texture pack and the various LOD fixes installed as well as the Natural Weather mod so it looks even better than usual!

[edit] Lake Rumare and the River Niben

This was taken not too long after Lake Rumare and the Imperial City. I'd done the quest and was on my way back from Bleaker's Way when I happened to turn right and saw this. I thought it'd be nice to have an image that didn't involve a sunrise or sunset for a change.

[edit] Mara and the Sun

I had just reinstalled the KotN mod and was going around the wayshrines again. I think I caught this one perfectly. The sun is right on the horizon and the incredible light on the water sets the whole scene alight.

[edit] Market District at Night

I'd just stamped the forged candidate list and was heading back into the Market District for a little light thievery when this appeared in front of me. This is another image with various patches installed.

[edit] Niben Bay on Fire

Another one taken with mods like Quarl's Texture Pack and Natural Environments, and boy does it show! I was swimming back from Leyawiin to the IC (boosting Athletics can be such a pain!) when I stopped off at Fort Grief to see if the Shadowbanish Wine had respawned yet. On the way back out I saw this incredible sunset and just couldn't resist.

[edit] One Less Gate

I always seem to get both the random gates by the Inn of Ill Omen and the Faregyl Inn. I did the first one then decided to try and get a shot of the gate destruction shot on the second. I've always liked that effect.

[edit] Strange Dawn

Looking across Niben Bay past A Strange Door, towards Fort Grief and Cadlew Chapel. Leaving Bravil one morning and heading off into the Shivering Isles I saw this shot and remembered just why I love Oblivion! It's got everything - the mountains reflecting in the water, a moon and of course, a sunrise. It's a version of this without clouds that makes the right-hand image on my user page.

[edit] View from Aleswell

I was taking the direct route from Bruma back to the Imperial City with the wonderful Almost Everything Visible With Distance mod installed when I caught sight of this. Just how many dungeons, particularly Ayleid ruins, can you see in this shot? And can you name them all without cheating?

[edit] Vivec Temple

Morrowind isn't in the same league as Oblivion when it comes to graphics, but it's still not exactly ugly. I was wandering around Vivec at dusk and saw this image.

[edit] Waterfall

This double lake (map) is one of the most beautiful places in the game. A quick run through the West Weald brought me to its shores and I decided I had to take a photo for the album. It gets even more beautiful at sunset!

[edit] Stained-Glass Windows

I've had these for ages and keep meaning to expand the articles on the Nine Divines to justify their inclusion. Rather than risk a hard disk crash I'm uploading them and sticking them on here for now.
