Yo, here I some pictures I made in five minutes that are better than the poo poo presented upthread:

















None of these are better than anything I've seen in Skyrim. Which isn't too say they are bad, but there isn't anything special about them.

Well, first - they are ten years older than Skyrim, second - they don't really present the full effect of shaders.

Like, Gothic makes it quite ridiculous that there's no worthwhile dynamic lighting in Bethesda games.

Graphics don't make a setting interesting. Lighting usually doesn't either unless your doing something weird and artistic with it. What you posted was a bunch of fairly generic medieval landscapes, and those would stay that way no matter how good the graphics were.

Well, what original landscapes are there in either Oblivion or Skyrim?

Never said they had many, though Shivering Isles in Oblivion was more interesting than what they normally do.

Personally I think Oblivion and Skyrim both look very nice in some areas but I'd still say the landscapes are generic. That doesn't make them bad, but there's nothng special about it. Saying Gothic had much better art design implies something really unique about it but from the screenshots you posted I'm not seeing much to set it above Oblivion/Skyrim.
