Phon's Screenshot Thread, Everyone else has one, why can't I? Options

[PhonAntiPhon]

Well I figured I would knock up a thread, as you do, for some piccies of our version of Cyrodiil and also because any gratuitous opp. to post up a shot of Niamh cannot be let go...
So here we are:
--
Roses
Ayleid Ruins
Niamh the Archer
View Out
The Look
Bruma Cathedral
Bruma and The Imperial City
In the Flowers
Cave Door
More Ruins
Fort Linchal
Glance
Valley View Camp
The Lake
Approaching the Gate - she never went in, it's not her problem...
--
Finally here, a couple from Niamh as she was in Skyrim - (VERY early shots, you can tell because she's still got something on - (seriously), and IRL, your humble narrator had not figured out the graphics settings yet), just for reference...
Profile
Leave Me Alone
Azura - the first time
Shadows - Manipulated

Skyrim-wise there are also these two:
Profile
And this one, which is almost as close as I can get without getting banned. Skyrim Niamh was not big on clothing, you see...
Shock and Awe

A lot of the images from Skyrim, certainly the latter ones, had from necessity to combine elements of light and shade and camera angles, at least for forum posts; personally I think the result was rather good, in many cases...

You use a lot of effects for your Oblivion game. That isn't any post processing (photoshop) is it?

I think if that was my game, the dark borders around the screen would bug me.

None of the Oblivion shots are post-processed, that's exactly as in game. Part of my "vision" as it were is of looking through a portal into Cyrodiil. The vignette allows for that visualisation.
I used a lot of filmstrip in the Skyrim effects along with grain. Only a couple of the Skyrim ones are enhanced, I have never really found it necessary to enhance my Oblivion shots after the event, as what's available ingame is more than good enough.

But yes there are many many graphical bits and pieces going on in it!

[King Coin]

I've only enhanced a few of my shots and that was just when they were too dark to see easily.

I like taking 'creative' screen shots with lighting and angles too.

Niamh is REALLY not a fan of clothing, is she? XD

They certainly don't feature as one of the higher priorities in her life, no!

In the firelight

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Pretty!!!

[Acadian]

Oh, I love camping inside a cleared out cave with a cozy fire when the weather outdoors is ugly.

[King Coin]

Looks like she's taken over a cave.

Absolutely.

She had.

Here's one of Niamh and Cutter, because who doesn't like Cutter?

This one's nice, is there something going on between them?

I like her Skyrim's shots as well, especially the one at the counter where she's wearing a hood - makes her look secretive and dangerous. And Shock and Awe is great as well.

Keep 'em coming!

BTW, is Niamh in Morrowind too?

Thank you Lopov.
There might well be yes at least as far as I can tell, although given the propensity that both of them have for violence I would imagine they take things fairly gently...!

Yes shock and awe is a favourite of mine as well.

She has been in Morrowind but sadly there are no existing shots of her from there...

[King Coin]

I like how that one with Cutter is framed. Are you using the Epic Elves mod?

No I'm not actually, in fact I've not heard of that...

Cutter! Yaaay!

Edit: Crap, I realise I've only been lurking on this thread. So, er, I liked the other screenshots too. Good show.

And here we are in Skyrim, it's a long story, and it's as confusing for Niamh trust me on that. You can read all about it in the stories, but as a teaser...

She was awakened by a strange sensation, akin to being pushed into the floor by a strong hand.
Feeling her breath forced from her lungs she grunted in her throat and tried desperately to fight against... it.
Lights danced in front of her eyes and there was a sudden, sharp pain...
...nothing...
...and then...
The air was cold on her bare skin, the wind whistled around her. Slowly her senses returned.
In the distance a wolf howled and there was the bark of a Horker from somewhere off to her left. The tang of the sea was strong in her nostrils and she could hear it lapping against a rocky shore.
Nauseous, she gingerly sat up and looked around her, then down at herself, through one eye.

"Oh Gods." She said quietly. "Not again."

Around her Skyrim slowly awoke, in the cold, hard light of a new morning...

Pix:
Not again...
