ESO vs Oblivion - Towns of Cyrodiil

[@SyvernSycor]

You did a great job at attempting to align the camera to compare each location from both titles. This was fun to watch. Thank you.

[@TheReason2Breathe]

Great video. I like how hard you worked to capture the correct angle for comparison. Don't worry about people ragging on you for your accent. We all start somewhere. Just keep trying and improving and you'll get there. I don't even speak anything other than English, so being bilingual means you're already miles ahead of me in your language skills!

[@ForsM4]

Sir, you truly are the reason2Breathe ;) I have a difficult time right now in my job, so from time to time reading comments like this is really upgiving. The life is dark and full of terrors...but we will face it and enjoy it. Thank you for your comment.

[@skaterplusboardz]

you are saying that an earthquake destroyed that city but doesnt ESO play hundreds of years before Oblivion?

[@ForsM4]

I guess I said it a bit wrong. Yes ESO is situated a long time ago before Oblivion. There are certain events that starts with ESO game, which is The Soulburst, thanks to that was Chorrol almost destroyed. The city will be rebuild later as you can see in Oblivion. I must have said something wrong, but I'm not sure what...I was a bit confused sometimes, because I knew, that Oblivion is older game and ESO newer game...and at the same time Oblivion is situated hundreds of years later, after the ESO events.

[@skaterplusboardz]

you say it at 2:17 but i dont know if you talk about a city in Oblivion on ESO?

[@ForsM4]

I see. You can see that Chorrol in ESO is ruined...absolutely first moment of Chorrol is at 1:50. The game with better graphic is ESO. In ESO you can see lava and pits in the ground. Chorrol in Oblivion: en.uesp.net/wiki/File:OB-place-Chorrol.jpg At 2:15 is The Great Oak Place in ESO and then in Oblivion. Chorrol in ESO: en.uesp.net/wiki/File:ON-place-Chorrol.jpg

[@Delio6453]

ESO takes place about 1000 years before the events of skyrim

[@This-jy6wn]

@@skaterplusboardz Your profile picture seems weird. What game do you play?

[@petitcanasson3990]

The probleme with Chorrol is that the events in ESO are before the Oblivion crisis...

[@rosskerr1439]

I forgot. In Oblivion, Cheydinhal's architecture had a lot of Dunmer influence.

[@cappuccino3444]

Great vid, never touched ESO but have hundreds of hours in Oblivion. Can't recognise any of the ESO towns except for Bruma

[@ForsM4]

Yeah, those were times in Oblivion. Liked that more than Skyrim. Can't wait for this mode: www.skyblivion.com/

[@justanotherrandomontheyout4791]

That's mainly because ESO's version of cyrodiil is closer to the lore than oblivion for example the imperial in the lore is IIRC is 30 miles wide but due to engine limitations at the time oblivions depiction is smaller I don't either one (considering Oblivion was my first Elder scrolls) which is ESO's is closer to the lore imo

[@SyvernSycor]

When you get a chance to play ESO, you'll likely notice the similarities. Zen did a great job at creating something new, from something familiar. Although the locations are not exact, you will see some geographical similarities or architectural designs that remind you of the previous title. It would be a disservice if they simply replicated the same locations to be exactly the same. I like to think it's similar to when you look at old photos of New York or Paris, and then see the same locations today. Although the areas are vastly different, you can still notice subtle similarities that make the old photos familiar. That's what ESO does. It's really fun!

[@Reckless-02]

I’ve had thousands of hours into cyrodil alone in eso, comes to show how vast that game is...

[@lastbugbalci6446]

tbh oblivionn looks more beatiful.

[@KhaledIron]

Thanks for sharing! I think a major reason why i wanted to play ESO was for Oblivion sight seeing, but now I dont need to anymore!

[@metodoinstinto]

I can't understand one single word this guy says. Is he drunk?

[@ForsM4]

Yeah he must be either drunk or stoned. Talking like that all the time...phew

[@tonezone2654]

Fors Well done, sir!

I think he's just European

english most likely isn't his first language, also his audio recording setup isnt the best.

[@kredofill8051]

I'm not native speaker, but I understand the most part

[@spring063_4]

It is greatly depicted how 1000 fucking years have passed between those games

[@UntrainableWizard]

Thank you for the video. : ) I had attempted to go and see the places, multiple times, in ESO but I just find Cyrodiil so boring and God-awful. lol It's a shame to see there's no real exploration value, I had hoped that the PVP would be to try and regain control of the cities, and while it does make sense that they are as damaged as they are, it still hits me as a shame hat I can't explore them properly... At least there's Kvatch and Anvil, though. lol

[@Adz2]

Leyawiin now too

[@Kuteiapi]

Bro I’m hoping U can do an entire comparison of Oblivion vs ESO Cyrodiil.. I played once through oblivion after playing ESO for like a year.. and I recognized some things but the map is pretty much unrecognizable. I can get around Cyrodiil on ESO without a map, and figured I would have that hard of a time on oblivion. Is it something that’s possible?

[@ForsM4]

That's what made me play this game. I wanted to check Cyrodiil in that era. See the difference. Most of the part, I liked Cyrodiil, because of the inspiration from Roman Empire. It has been some time I played the game. I think there should already be some more quality videos with comparison, but I don't know. Never looked. If I make some more comparison videos of ESO vs ... other ES games...can't tell.

[@Kuteiapi]

@@ForsM4 I’ve tried to search around and can’t find any videos or anything with map overlays and what not. I would really like a creator to try to explain the maps and the differences.. if it’s too big I understand but I watch a lot of lore videos and stuff and would really like to see what’s the same and what’s different about the maps

[@ForsM4]

If you mean only Oblivion vs ESO comparison videos, then you are right. There are rather my videos...didn't expect that. Maybe if Bravil and Leyawiin will be accessible in future I might make another video about them...

[@Kuteiapi]

@@ForsM4 leyawiin is accessable now. And thanks for the consideration man.

[@ForsM4]

Thank you for information. I just found out becuase of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWqykHSHl96Ie9E I didn't know it was accessible for so long :O

[@aaalmonds]

Awesome video thank you!

[@AmorDeae]

I wish you took a bit more time recreating the same perspectives

[@ForsM4]

Yeah there is always some idea how to do things better but at least in my case that happens after I edit/upload the video...and always something more how to do something better different...I would never finish this video...sometimes it is better to say ok this might be good enough. Let's try this. However I was thinking about some 2.0 version with more content and with better as you said perspectives...just not sure if I should do it or in the end if it is really needed...because the video would be just a little longer. Or what if I would make it even worse? Damn...

[@AmorDeae]

Fors I understand, it was just my wishful comment, because I think it would better show the change and look nicer overall.

[@ForsM4]

I know, well....we'll see.

[@freona1466]

nice vid! btw,do you use reshaders? if you use it, tell me name of it pls. （sorry, I'm not able to speak english.）

[@ForsM4]

No I don't. Colors in the video are a bit different because I used for rendering pixel format: 32-bit-flaoting point (full range), instead of 32-bit-flaoting point (video levels). Honestly it is all about adjusting contrast. Or that's how it seems.

[@freona1466]

Fors Oh,I see thanks for your reply keep working hard pls :)

[@ForsM4]

I know I have to :D. Still this is not a quality I would love to maintain...still low. Btw....is this what you meant? reshade.me/

[@freona1466]

Fors yes I just wanted to know about it lol

[@ForsM4]

I've never used it, that's jsut what Google found for me when I wrote "reshaders." Oh wait...long time ago I used SweetFX...not sure if that's same...

[@juancamilo1986]

I like your videos , keep the good work

[@ForsM4]

That is good to hear/read. I might do some videos in future again. Right now, it is just too much to do anything at all. Almost year ago I started to work in a new job, since then there is like no time for...hmm...for nothing. Maybe later then. I hope. Thank you for your time.

[@zombeaver69]

Wtf did oblivion do to kvatch

[@veganhero1828]

They couldn't be arsed to make unique architecture for each city, that's what.

[@Delio6453]

Does eso allow you to Explore every continent? I knew you could explore morrowind and skyrim but didnt know you could explore cyradil If i Remember correctly harpys from dagerfall are Also in the game right?

[@ForsM4]

Sorry I forgot to answer. Yes you can explore almost every continent. What is not possible to visit, might be in future. There are still other continents in development. Harpies are in the game. Dagerfall as well. Cyrodiil is kind of PvP zone in the game, but there is a ton of quests to do too. Here is a list of places you can visit now. en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Zones

well yeah, one game is old as hell. he was probably trying to even out the playing field for the sake of the video.

[@Zack29810]

they didn't even try to recreate the cities properly. so lame.

[@robertbadcott1888]

Where is Skingrad?

[@ForsM4]

Skingrad is in state like Bravil. More or less. You can see a nice piece of Bravil from a distance, but it is inaccessible...for public (there are ways how to get there though). The city is not finished and maybe in future it will be part of some update...or DLC. Same destiny stands for Skingrad. However Skingrad can't be seen from a distance. I found a video where you can see at least some...sketches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2jUpIGHoLOMa5Y Skingrad from 8:00
