The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Imperial City - Elven Gardens District


Fantasy game art from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages has detailed information on The Elven Gardens.




In our discussion of the Imperial City Market District, we mentioned having uninstalled Better Cities in favour of the less-overhauled ImpeREAL City mod. The overall visual changes of the latter had in fact been integrated into Better Cities, so some areas that were less-modified by Better Cities look almost identical. One such area is the Elven Gardens District.
Included in the ImpeREAL City mod is an optional add-on that lights up the central tower in the Imperial City, as you can see in the second set of screenshots of the city by night. It required changes in the Oblivion.INI file which also resulted in some graphical anomalies now and again, however, and mostly in 3rd person mode.
The in-game time is about 2:30am, and the lighting here is modded with the Original Color Darker Nights mod, which gives a deeper night experience, not dark enough to require torches but not so dark as some of other other lighting change mods. And overall dark enough to really highlight the improvement of simply adding lighting to the central tower.

Titan Quest - Alternate Hero Skins (AllSkins Mod)

Fantasy game art from Titan Quest . An art book, The Art of Titan Quest , is also available. This post showcases the AllSkins mod (now included in the unofficial fan patch ). Normally, Titan Quest has only two hero models with no variation: Male and Female caucasian. The AllSkins mod is a free third-party mod that lets players choose from hundreds of fantasy "skins" for their character. Here are two basic Titan Quest models in their "underwear" (when a character is wearing no armour). Incidentally, it took two years before someone managed a game modification to remove the skirt . Here are two characters modified with the AllSkins mod (now included in the unofficial fan patch ). AllSkins Mod version 0.7

The Bard's Tale - Dun Ailinne Treasure Map

Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game. This cutscene features dialogue from the Houton blacksmith concerning his treasure map. Although the Bard being scammed is entirely in keeping with the overall tone of the game world, the treasure map was in fact a good one, as Dun Ailinne hides, among other things, the Golden Spyglass, which increases all future treasure finds by 10%.
