I wanna live in Cheydinhal


Cheydinhal river from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion


I love the graphics of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The art is so much more detailed as compared to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It might be affected by the storyline because after all, the locations of the storyline in TES3 and TES4 are in different provinces of the TES world. The architecture in TES3 are somewhat similar in each and every town (again that might be because in the Morrowind province, thus a certain culture in the architecture), but in TES4, the building design varies from different areas. It's due to it being in the central part of the entire continent, that cultures overlapped at the borders, thus the variation of buildings. Pretty amazing and sweet works of art (and concept of the TES universe).

Cheydinhal is the the most beautiful city (though it very much looks like a town) I've seen in TES4. I love the richness of the elements present in the city. Water that streamed through the middle of the city, untouched by constructions unlike the city of Balmora in TES3 in which the river pretty much looks like Singapore river in a more ancient manner. You can see alot of flora around the city of Cheydinhal, and willow trees swaying in the breeze. And the lack of the fire element makes the city looks more peaceful and grounded.

'nuff said, I wanna live there.
