    Awesome shot Rick! I see you are writing some more stories and I will keep them in my list until I have time to read them.

      Another thanks to you!

      You're doing great catching up I must say!

      Yes, I decided to bring forth the third chapter about Zareni...and just a day or two after my cooling system to the PC refused to work along with me. I had someone looking at it though and luckily for me it could be revived again!

    Magical and sugestive image, Rick and has already been said, great angle and the music fights the sense of this image perfectly too!

    The majestic but mysteriously abandoned Dwarven ruins of Skyrim have always put my in mind of Shelley's poem "Ozymandias".

      Thank you kindly, Les!

      I had to look the poem up and I even found a Swedish translation of it. I have to say though, the English original was far better and more interesting, especially with how the rhyme worked so well. I can see I have a lot to learn as well - superb "reading rythm" and flow in that poem and the subject is very fascinating...

      ...and I have to say, I agree too! The poem fits very nicely to the abandoned (?) dwemer ruins and halls of stone.
      Thank you for letting me get to know both the poem an the author!

    As all said...light and angle of view is well chosed
    Usally I dislike the quests in the ruins, but I like the light, arcvhitecture and interiors with the steam and colors so much...so I have to go inside sometimes, to look up to this beauty

      It took me some time to start liking the dwemer ruin quests as well, mainly because I felt the steam and the inventions being a bit too much for my liking, but I've come to settle with it, and as you say, the architecture and the underground - almost electrical - light and thick shadows make for excelletn adventures in the deep...often quite hard and difficult as well...

      I'll be sure to show some more dwemer ruins when my characters decide to reach further down the depth of the world...

      Thank you!

      Thank you, Andy!

      The lost dwarves of Skyrim sure had an interesting architectural world to gaze upon from where they stood which provides excellent angles to work with...

      Thank you, my friend!

      I'm very fond of the dwarven architecture as well. It's also very "thought out" which makes me even more sad about the loss of the dwarves in the world. I had some troubles with the steam inventions at first, because I don't like technologies too advanced in any "medieval" fantasy world, but now I think it adds to the mystery...and to why the dwarves are all gone!

      Oh, they're alive for sure, Erwin! At least in my game!

      In my world they're as essential as humans or elves and I'm really eager to do a travel set into one of the dwarven complex of the game. We'll see who of them all will be the first to dare enter the undergound halls of the dwarves...

      The dwarven ruins are excellent for playing around with different angles. the architecture works very nicely with your actions...

      Thank you!

      Thank you, Izzy!

      I was uncertain if I should crop this one into a panorama, because it's more to see below the bridge, but I figured it would be a bit distracting so I went with cropping it. Looks pretty neat...

      Always thumbs up for immersive game music!
