Looks big.

So funny that this frozen, hostile province has a tourism board. They never mention all the extremely belligerent random encounters or all the undead in the caves or the giants that launch you back to whiterun or the wolves that eat you if you walk off the path or the vampires or.... It just feels like it would be legally prudent to have a disclaimer. Beautiful work here. nicely done.

Frick now i want a full working port of this and be able to play it =3

imagine an singleplayer dark brotherhood game in that thing <3 <3 <3

I know this video is about a lore accurate city and not about a video game city but can you imagine how long it would take to build this city? Plus would you even want a city of this size in a game? It would take half an hour just to reach the city center. I personally think Novigrad from the Witcher 3 was the perfect size for a video game city. Plus the winding spaghetti mess of roads made it feel even bigger. Now the cities in TES are WAY too small. They're basically just a large homestead. Even the Imperial city wouldn't qualify as a town much less a city.

When it shows the ringed planet in the sky - with the clouds: The clouds are in front of the planet, but behind the rings - which visually suggests that either the clouds are so high they go all the way into the ring system. or the rings are within the atmosphere of this water city planet. Overall, beautiful planet/city scape though!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

Breh that's bigger than New York. Cyrodil's entire population is less than what would fit in this city alone.

Okay now we just need a movie trilogy set in Lore Accurate Tamriel- Love this Fantasy Universe so much 😌

Too much work for Todd, so you get half that space for the entire world in TES6, kind of like what we saw in Starfield. Enjoy!

What is the population of the imperial capital?

Can you spot where Mystic Emporium is?

I so desperately want a ES tv series that is a grand scale fantasy epic Episode 1 begins with a trio of adventures being hired to do some seemingly simple task unknowingly setting a crisis in motion. At the very end as they emerge they are ambushed by the Imperial Legion and held at arrow point Episode 2 begins with them being taken to the Imperial City as prisoners and we can have a scene like this play to show its breathtaking scale and stature.

Ive always thought of the Imperial City as a Tenochtitlan type of city

If I remember correctly, the Imperial City is basically 8 massive cities interconnected via bridges and roads.

Seeing people in the comments say "Why couldn't Bethesda do this?" Bro, most games barley have a city this big, let alone 9 of them alongside a massive worldspace.

Emperor Titus Mede sacrificed this city and its inhabitants to the Thalmor to save his own hide and he left Hammerfell to their own fate. Critics of the Stormcloak rebellion would choose a corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical leader over the Nords being independent just because they don't like outsiders. Feelings hurt much? Shake it off and man up.

The nighttime shots - wow!

What is missing are outside crops and fields and outskirts towns, on the island and outside, and at least one acqueduct. There is no city so big without an huge context and network of close support, for food, water (lake water isn't drinkable for sanitary reasons). Fields to cultivate must be the greatest part of the environment. Also, huge columns of trade carts and warehouses. That is what makes a city alive, and what is so sorely lacking in Oblivion, much more than the simple scale

This one have much more chaotic, overgrown look to it, yet it is... serene. Truly, greatest depiction of Falkreath I had ever seen.

Markarth, city build on the shoulders of giant. And at their feet. And around. Never enough space, kids! Hahaha. Less distinctly Dwemer architecture building-wise, though bridges are obviously their work, but great nonetheless. I really like sheer scale showed here.

I really, really like this Winterhold. Ruins easily cover twice, thrice the surface of the town, yet town itself have quite homely look to it, and then there is College of Winterhold, as big as city itself, looming over it like grand monolith, with this physics-ignoring bridge to top if off. It seriously fits, and makes atmosphere of the place so much paltable.

Now that is true fortress and port city, spectacular view, truly spectacular.

Even Skyim romans know how to build!!!!

Bigger and better, what is else to say? The difference is not really massive as with other cities in this series, but neither is it small. It certainly fits relatively small fishing town at far north.

It is both larger, and gives very gritty Skyrim climate more justice than in actual game. Amazing work.

Very nice, but it's not that dense or big It's a fantasy city, not a teeming metropolis

Feels quite Atlantean to me.

Fabulous! Looks like a Rennaissance Tenochtitlan

Thx

Bethesda in 2030 when ES6 comes out: A dozen houses plus a sewer system is our last offer. (That is if Microsoft let's Bethesda survive for that long.)

The enormity of the Imperial City as depicted here, if it's more true to scale than its game equivalent, makes me wonder how the Aldmeri Dominion encircled and captured it in the Great War. You'd need inconceivable numbers and an even more inconceivable logistical machine to besiege it.

If the Imperial City was actually that size, Oblivion would take like 500h to complete.

If you look closely you can see Nazeem

Dude. It's titanic!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen from the Elder Scrolls community.

Assasins Creed game that takes in this city would be amazing af

I'd love to see Windhelm next.

You could walk from one district to another and it would take you 3 oblivion days

Pretty excited to see the other cities in Cyrodiil

Seems like a lot of trees inside the city.......

Incredible work, I'd love to see Rimmen, Senchal or Sentinel get this treatment one day.

Shut up and take my money

Way to big, the scale is way off, good job with the details though nonetheless

How it feels when you play Oblivion.

I would've expected the buildings to become denser and taller towards the center

The design looks like frostpunk cities.

Yeah i aint explorin that with them bipolar beggars and the guards asking for Armond Christoff 💀💀💀

One day fellow gamers.. One day..

this is the best location in tamriel imo i would live there. except dwemer and falmer maybe vampire but still it's a beautiful location and the UE5 render is incredible!
