    Not too shabby at all. Nice to see that fairly recently MMORPGs have improved considerably in their graphics because sometimes it's a bit of a pity that they can look plain ugly at times.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    There are THAT many landmarks, there is SO much detail everywhere.

    I'd also check out the lake near Sifhalla if you have the chance (You'll go by there to kill a notorious monster anyways in the Norn-ish quests :])... Look down into it D:!

    Yeah! I guess there's several dragons hidden "sleeping" across the lands.

    when there's a mob of monsters that average 4-8 levels higher than you it can get tough sometimes

    I try not, and the first one I had no insignias or runes on my armor at that time so that hurt a little. And that build was so so compared to my new flashing blades build.

    Personally I think Oblivion and most other modern games are better graphically - but if you're talking MMORPG's only, then I can't comment.

    Still, I'll wager Oblivion is as large or close, because any TES usually is at least 10 times the size of most single player games at the time of release.

    Guild wars is HUGE. 3 continents the first was just nearly doubled with GW:EN. not including the underworld and such. Lots to see and go in this game.

    Well I suppose in light of those things, that's pretty damn good!

    I wonder what the size of this world is. Then we'd have a good comparison.

    ... oh, and the henchies are so bored now they can be seen conversing >_<!



    Ps - Cynn: You Spoony Bard!

    psps: Screenies and videos all look so awkward on this PC, hope they look alright on yours :3... I have a high-end PC, so playing GWEN is a treat <3 (and does not error like it did on my old PC >_>).
