My TESO Imperial Nightblade has just arrived in Vvardenfell not too long ago and, as luck (or coincidence) would have it, Bethesda has given out free PC copies of TES III this week. As it's been a while since I've played TES III and haven't had my physical copy of it for a while, I downloaded it (who knew that Bethesda had its own launcher? Cool. ![B)]( "B)")
).
I created a new TES III character and played a bit of it. There are definitely some differences between the two versions of Vvardenfell, the most glaringly obvious ones being the graphics and the UI. Some other, more subtle differences include the dominant Imperial presence on TES III's Vvardenfell as opposed to the dominant Dunmer presence on TESO's Vvardenfell, as well as that only the first-person perspective is available in TES III (which makes me wonder why I needed to create my character's look during character generation if I'm never going to see him), especially after being used to playing my TESO character exclusively in third person.
Still, it's so weird seeing the world's graphics having severely declined over 400(?) years. It's like trying to wrap my head around how much more advanced the technology (i.e. special effects and set design) is in Star Trek: Discovery than it is in Star Trek: The Original Series, despite the latter taking place ten years later.![:o]( ":o")
So for those who've played both versions of Vvardenfell recently (because of this week's free giveaway or for any other reason), how do the differences between the two strike you?![:)]( ":)")
