I thought oblivion looked quite alright in terms of the scenery, it was the characters, gear, and faces that really jarred me. That's why I'm still cynical about the look of Skyrim until I see some characters that aren't so ugly that they singlehandedly defeat the purpose of elaborate graphics in the first place.
I agree with you on this. Oblivion sacrificed proper looking faces for the ability to have millions of face permutations. Hopefully they can get the same permutation system but with proper looking faces.
Those waterfalls look like being frozen in ice. Otherwise it really looks better compared to Fallout 3/NV and Oblivion.
I'm looking forward to Skyrim and enjoyed both Oblivion and Morrowind (Oblivion a little less).
For me the biggest thing missing from Oblivion and Fallout 3 that Morrowind had was the sense of being somewhere. Right from the start of the game you can travel just about anywhere and the enemies would match your level, there's no variation in difficulty between areas. That coupled with the fast travel system eliminated the feeling of discovery and venturing into dangerous and remote territory that Morrowind had. Thinking ahead, stocking up and preparing were all part of the experience. Oblivion only has a small sweet spot when your skill is high enough to take out low level bandits with one hit before every enemy in the game levels up and it feels like you're back at square one. At a very high level all enemies are the same few types.
Morrowind's transport system was slower but I liked the various ways to get around better; having to fork out gold for a boat, silt strider, mage's guild teleport, or get spells or scrolls which teleport you to the nearest town or player-summoned marker. Oblivion felt so dead in that respect, there's nobody going anywhere or doing anything much except you.
Hoping that Skyrim has more varying difficulty between areas and doesn't have Oblivion's fast travel system.

There are a lot of things in Oblivion that look terrible which have little to do with the engine. If Skyrim pulled off characters even half as decent as this (which is running on the same console) I would most definitely consider it a massive leap forward in terms of looks.
That was perfect. The non-freaking out guy captures my sentiments towards this game so far.
RELEASE A REAL ****ING TRAILER ALREADY

Wow, they look a lot better design wise, they are really going for a photo realistic appearance with the people. I lol'd at the hairy man arm in the other screenshot. Too bad it all looks low poly and the environments remind me of Oblivion or something bad on UE3. Bleh.
BS, even zooming to where it's pixelized I can't tell. Even if it was like that in game, I bet they would have fixed the photos up and hid that.

It's an improvement, but still not what I would call good. I just want them to fix it so that if I pick up an apple, every other piece of food on the table doesn't instantly begin hovering.
