It's that time of the month again, no bleeding involved, as Bethesda sends along the latest three screenshots from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. We get another city shot, another look at a forest, and we meet a troll.

I don't see any problem with the troll model I think it's pretty cool. Now, the blom effectin the town screenschot IS too much, but I have total faith in Bethesda to get things perfected before this is released. This is, after al, the same company that gave us the other wonderful Elder Scrolls games, as well as the amazing Terminator: Future Shock, and the equally awesome SkyNET.

Keep up the good work, gentlemen and ladies.

Hot! Troll looks a bit weird, but it's also nice to see games that make up their own looks on the monsters.

And I, for one, just love the bloom effect.

I want to explore that city and forest. Please come out soon. :(

I still find the bloom annoying. I'm not against bloom, and maybe it is realistic bloom, but it seems irritating in a Deus Ex 2 kind of way in screenshots at least.

I see alot of bloom but I don't see any FSAA. I hope they haven't sacrificed FSAA compatibility for framebuffer effects like some of the dx8.0 x-boxen games did.

Every time I see these absolutely hideous screenshots of models, I recall the strip dancers at a bar in morrowind. The ones whose terrible models were only matched by the animation that could best be described as marionettes controlled by a puppeteer on crack. If this upcoming game has the best environments ever seen in a computer game, it'll all go to waste if every monster looks like a plastic turd.
