TES fans probably look for BM info in the TES forums.
While this does look magnitudes better than landscape in Oblivion, I think the water looks terrible. It looks like one big gloopy mass at the top of the falls, and my first thought was that maybe it was frozen. But you can see lower down that it’s still flowing. I’m hoping this is just an early version of the shader or something because there are games years old with better flowing water than that.
The problem with that is that it makes a game which is designed to be as non-linear as possible into a game where you can only go to certain areas in a certain progression. I want to be able to wander around and explore instead of being confined to the low level starter town until I’ve levelled up enough to not get murdered if I venture out.
I think the ideal is somewhere in the middle. You have scaling, but in certain areas, you can have tougher enemies which are your level plus a few, until you hit a certain point and you can surpass them. Borderlands did this very well. It just fucked up by making most areas levelled to what quest you were doing as opposed to character level.
Keep in mind that these screenshots are taken from the Xbox360. The graphics are most probable scaled down to improve performance on that shitty console. A shame really.
has the magazine come out yet?
I think you look terrible.
No seriously though, They have fucking dynamic snow. The water can look like shit all they want. 
Indeed. I didn’t realise that the shots were taken from 360, hadn’t read that anywhere.
And sure they have dynamic snow, and I’m sure it’ll look great, but that’s no excuse to skimp on other effects which are equally as important to selling the world.
I’m not sure if its just me but you sound kinda stupid complaining about how bad flowing water looks after having only seen a screen shot.
Edit: If you want something that is truly disappointing try to find a shadow in that screenshot.
I"m sure the shadow effects will be fine, If anything, I hope they aren’t overdone. I noticed in about every new game that I have played, I can’t think of one who’s shadows aren’t unrealisticly dark in comparison to the unshadowed landscape. It looks pretty that way, But I would be happy to see some super realistic shadows for once.
@airRaid: chill out dude. If you didn’t notice, I’ve been referencing dynamic snow in almost all of my posts. Lighten up a little, we aren’t electing a Prime minister or anything. 
Also: I wonder how they are going to do the lighting with the dynamic snow and stuff. Everyone knows that a clear night sky with snow on the ground is almost daylight compared to a clear night sky without snow, so how is that going to work, or even IS that going to work?
The snow is magic, so it’s doesn’t reflect light.
haha. True that. both games are orgasmic. and epicly anticipated.

Dat hub update.
They better ditch out some good 1080p gameplay footage or I’m going all fantasy medieval on their asses.
You have my sword.
And my bow.
And my axe.
Now that thats over with, I doubt we’ll see any gameplay for a few months at least. Maybe E3?
Honestly with the amount of content GI is showing off I wouldn’t be surprised if the last hub update was gameplay.
If not yea, we will probably have to wait until E3 
They’ve shown I think one in game shot? It’s really not that much.
and …er, my war hammer
Not a lot of gameplay no but its a lot more content than the GI hubs normally had. Not only this but the whole reason Bethesda waited to reveal TES 5 is so that they could show off lots of stuff really quickly. Could dig up link but don’t feel like it.
