Since it was officially announced a few weeks ago, the only images of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim that could be found on the net were poor quality scans. Today, here is the very first 720p image of the game showing what the new engine is capable of.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (5 Days ago)

As long as Skyrim has rich and untrodden look to it I'll be happy. Cyrodiil was beautiful if a little characterless.
Also..be sure to read this.

In the link the guy provided in an earlier post there was a little bit of info on each tech system in the game.
In the graphics portion of the description of this game, they said they have implemented sufficient lighting and shadows (on everything), as opposed to the last game which only had shadows on certain objects or players.
First screenshot of the game, and it was announced and ''only announced''-as in there was no other info other than the announcement of its existence. Very highly possible this is some type of alpha build they slapped together for a single screenshot. Dont be so skeptical. From the distance of the screenshot, it almost looks to rival what i have seen of Gears of War 3, which is still looking to be the best graphical showcase in the coming year.
I wonder if their engine borrows any assets from the RAGE engine...
Of course we are the minority here so bring your flame shield.
A rpg with boring story is imo boring.
Though it was pretty atmospheric...
I for one liked what they did with the combat system, it meant I didn't need to have "skill" with a sword to have it hit something.
That was my biggest gripe with Morrowind, being 1st/3rd person I felt the use of dice roll algorithms to figure out if I hit that Nix hound with my arrow was not quite right. It fits with something like Dragon Age: Origins or NWN but it never connected with me in the 1st person...
maybe it was because I just recently played it like 2 weeks ago recently and I think IMO it has not dated very well.
Its juts not my type of game and for what I played it indeed animated like shit and was boring as all hell, but thats just my opinion in a sea of opinions.
:P

Let's not forget that this is more or less a year away. It'll look spectacular come release, I've no doubts about that.
