yeah its probably the one hold that REALLY bothered me with it's scale. Like...I know you are going some rough times but you have 12 people in the whole city? lol
Thats true. I understand the engine had it own limitations in 2011, to have a larger world in creation engine they had to go through loading screens, like they did for cities (whiterun, riften etc.). But for present times, it looks weird, when we know what the lore says.@@davyman2000
@@ankush_dogra_jk Fun fact, there's a mod called Open Cities Skyrim, which as the name suggests makes every city in Skyrim be part of the open world. It's a very liberating feeling to go through the open gates of a big city in Skyrim, and have no invisible walls separating the city from the Skyrim open world whenever you decide to parkour your way on top of a city's walls.
Yeah that was kinda the intention, although lore-wise I think it's implied that most of the actual peninsula the city was on washed away into the ocean ... so the ruins you see are actually just the edge of the old city that didn't fall into the sea...
I always kinda questioned that... even if it fell into the ocean its almost nonexistent in the game kinda makes you sus... There should be ruins in the water you can loot or somthing more...

@@lewd285180 years is not a long time at all lol. There are ruins from irl that have been submerged in the oceans, rivers, lakes, etc for hundreds sometimes even thousands of years and they are still perfectly intact.
Winterhold used to be the Capital of Skyrim so it’s size should be massive plus it’s close to Saarthal the ancient capital of the Nords. Every single one of these videos are masterpieces.
Yes I'm pretty sure I own more land and property than the Jarl of Winterhold and I'm not rich, just a hard working blue collar wagie in a cagie. lol@@Slvl710
It's the only city for which the scale kinda makes sense. It was completely razed, I guess most people either died or left after having lost everything. It could have been repopulated a bit because the College is still there so it would attract new people, but in the game the only ones left are old survivors who resent it, not newcomers... So it's safe to say it's just abandoned and dying.
Can you imagine what Windhelm looks like!!!?!?!? The Stormcloak capital in all its glory would be a site to see. The Palace of Kings. The docks. Hjerim Hall. The snow district. Seeing this makes me excited to see it.
I can see a lot of thought went into this. The people would have rebuilt as best they could. The jarl's hall looks like they repurposed a ship, much as the early Nords did. How I'd love to see this in the game. Great work.
Can't rebuild if no one wants to live there. Winterhold still has the College Stigma and it's harsh environment preventing it from getting people to move in. And I'm guessing it's harder to build in snowy environments with the few people they have.
You paid attention to a very small detail. The fronts of houses are lit by lanterns instead of torches. You got this right! Almost all movies and games put torches on wooden walls and under thatched roofs. Kudos!
These 1:1 scale cities are amazing, its kind of funny actually going into Skyrim and only seeing a few huts and a long house. What City do you want to do next?
I absolutely love seeing these videos of Skyrim remade in Unreal Engine because it shows me that other people are still passionate about my favorite game. Skyrim already has stunning graphics, but this left me speechless ❤
I love these videos because they put the land of Skyrim into proper scale. Going from Markarth all the way to Windhelm for instance, even on horseback, would take about two weeks. Through projects like this, we get to see the true scale of Skyrim, as well as its beauty that could not be shown in the game, from the sprawling cities of Solitude, Whiterun, and Windhelm, to the ancient city of the Dwarves, Markarth, carved into the side of a mountain, to the sea side ruins of what was once a great city, Winterhold.
I really, really like this Winterhold. Ruins easily cover twice, thrice the surface of the town, yet town itself have quite homely look to it, and then there is College of Winterhold, as big as city itself, looming over it like grand monolith, with this physics-ignoring bridge to top if off. It seriously fits, and makes atmosphere of the place so much paltable.
@@lion_towers3d I was thinking about this all day. This gave me that feeling I'm always looking for in fantasy but so rarely find. There's this great contrast between the cold and hostile ocean, and the cozy homes. Really special video. Skyrim is kind of like just a good stepping off point for a worthwhile art form: a portrait of a different world.
I'm glad these videos are rather new, so you can check these comments. For my part, this is just...breath taking....Truly a dream come true, to see the real lore-accurate size of Skyrim. Every single one of these videos feels so real, everything makes sense, so alive. The entire lore makes sense with these videos
I think I actually felt that blizzard when it rolled in, really good! This is a stunning piece of work! Imagine if there's at least one single city at this scale in TES VI 😍
A city that used to be the capitol of the country was reduced to 5 buildings, a burnt down shack and the college. all because Bethesda didn't feel like putting effort into a fifth city. marvelous work btw.
I’ve been addicted to Skyrim for years. I paint it for a living. This made my entire day. Brought up so many emotions. I believe this place once existed or it does exist in a parallel dimension. I want to live here.
This is so breathtaking!! Super awesome!! I can almost feel the bite of the cold as I breathe in the frigid air and in my mind, I can hear the crunch of snow under my feet.
Amazing as usual! The feel of a new, wooden town built at the edge of a drestroyed great metropolis of stone. Love the one large hall in the middle of the town, very straightforward design. Looking forward to the next city! ALso, if you ever consider making a Solitude walkthrough video, that would blow up the internet.
This is breath-taking! I've always felt Winterhold was severely lacking, especially in ruins of the other half of the city. I would love to see what you do with Morthal, Windhelm, Riften, and Falkreath. If only the game could be expanded this way, sadly that'd require a full remake which I'm afraid we won't get.
I would absolutely love to see you do something with the inside of winterhold. Seeing the upgraded lighting bouncing off all of the structures and magical items would be insane.
people seem to forget that Winterhold collapsed and a great portion of it got washed out by the sea. That's why it's so underwhelming in-game. Nice work, btw!
I just happened to catch your Falkreath video in my feed, and now I'm binge watching the rest. Your work is jaw dropping. Bethesda, please hire this amazing artist and write a blank cheque if you have to !
Winterhold was always one of my favourite locations. Mostly because of the college of course, which I'd use like my own personal Hogwarts. Stepping outside in the blizzards and snow and then coming in for a warm hearth at the inn or in the college felt really nice.
It would be mind boggling, the early lore states it would be a massive city built on nine islands, bridges and boats would be needed to travel across each like Venice. I’ve heard that if they tried to make the city lore accurate the entirety of oblivion would have been set in a single district of the city.
I know Skyrim has been released around 20 times, but can someone please go through the game, remodel it make the cities and towns more populated and look as beautiful as this guy does, introduce now character models, and just make it actually look like a modern video game, I have been looking for a game that pulls me in as much as Skyrim, and there is nothing, not the Witcher series, or any of the other games on those “similar games to Skyrim” lists. And also my biggest pet peeve is add an animation for Aela when skjor Curt’s her so the blood just doesn’t “appear” out of nowhere. PLEASE SOMEONE. I can’t risk Bethesda messing up elder scrolls 6
Oh no. You can't keep doin these. Lol these are just too good. It hurts. I wanna move my Skyrim game saves into your version of these places. Lol it's just not fair lol God I hope you decide to do all the other holds and notable locations lol Edit: Ah!! The mountain top cloud shot above Azura's statue! I got chills....
Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely love your work, first whiterun and then this ! Winterhold as alway been my favourite city in Skyrim. Younger I really flet like a student mage going to study at the best school, the magic arcanes. I was so much into the lore, trying to pick my favourites teachers (faralda for destruction magic), plus the magic classes in the big room. I loved the ambient of this city that has so many secrets and a nostalgic vibe considering the history of The Great Collapse. I always wanted to see a true Winterhold and I am still craving to look at one version prior to The Great Collapse. However you managed to nail every details of this city at the perfection, with the ruins, Azura (my favourite daedra with Arena Lelith her priest) . Thank you so much really.
i love this lore accurate winterhold, looks so good, not the 5 houses (2 destroyed) we got in the game. i know it would be a mess, but i would absolutely love to see riften in lore accurate size
What I wouldn't pay for you to create the entirety of Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, and the rest of Tamriel and its denizens and have it as a game. Keep up the good work!
I love this. I left feedback ages ago on your Whiterun that while I loved the fidelity, it lacked the surreal, magical feeling of Skyrim. It looks like you’ve really started to bring that into your work and have found a great balance between graphical fidelity and artistic license to give the place the *feel* of Skyrim along with a more realistic representation of the town. Cheers!
Its videos like this that make me wish i grew up in the castle era. I know it was a brutal era but these videos makes it seem like it would be bearable.
This is so beautiful. Genuinely. wish i can just experience it in vr or something, (will go norway) hopefully bethesda sees this and motivates them to reach this level of visuals and scale
@@TristanCleveland I mean the Skyblivion team is remaking the entirety of Oblivion using the Skyrim engine, and Skyrim is arguably an even more adored game so I'm sure at some point people will remake the entirety of Skyrim using some future game engine
you actually made it seem like a genuine nordic setting while still retaining the fantasy feel, this is incredible and i would absolutely play a skyrim remake made by you.
I need a game with an accurate size of everything in Skyrim. Cities, towns, the College, the sewers below Riften, everything. I'd like to waddle my way through a massive Solitude, just doing my day to day business, or go spelunking about in the swamps surrounding Morthal trying to find Giant Lichen. Go hunting in the forests around Falkreath and the plains outside of Whiterun. Explore the old keeps and forts littered throughout the land and fight my way through massive Falmer infested Dwemer ruins. 😌😌
Please please PLEASE, once you've finished with Skyrim, do some of ESO's cites next! Seeing Rimmen in 1:1 scale with the funky MMO "superscaling" (making everything bigger/taller to account for a wide 3rd person camera) removed would be AMAZING! Hell, just a loop of Daahin playing her Qanun in the market would be perfect.
Did just get a team of coders together and lawyers and put some good mods in and just finish the game with all buildings fully built inside. Just finish the game like this. It’s absolutely amazing. We are all drooling to play it like this. I’m sure there are plenty of fans that are skilled enough to help finish this project for free just for the chance to play it like this. Thank you from all of us in advance. Your work on this is truly breathtaking.
I remembered playing a mage in Skyrim and feeling a little bit disappointed with Winterhold since I thought it should be bigger. This is what it should have been. Magnificent.
0:06 - Despite this being a tree-line and the right-frontal view of the Collage of Winterhold, something seems amiss, something seems... bigger. You can tell the scale of things has increased drastically. The engine also makes this location majestic to behold. 0:22 - A lonely lookout amidst rubble and rock, overseeing winterhold. You get a feeling of solace, as if you are remembering what was - a bigger kingdom, one rife with culture and life. Despite its rather bleak appearance, it speaks more volumes than the Guide to the Empire books. 0:27 - 0:38 - leading on from last comment. You begin to see what was... you also begin to be unable to fathom what could have done such wrathful damage. Or rather, how this damage occurred. 0:39 - just... beautiful, serene, complete. Just how I image in in my head. Nothing more, just pure, unadulterated beauty. 0:47 - 1:02 - Again, beauty. Except this time. You get a sense of community, a warm feeling despite the cold atmosphere present. It feels like the people there have something to old Winterhold citizens didn't - hope. Hope that they could recover from travesty. Cinematics and general - This is true beauty. Taking what was previously a dingy, depressing town-like "city" and bringing it back from the brink of total and complete loss. Bringing a sense of pride, recovery, and comradery to the people and the city itself. This is a location I would love to visit and complete *every* side quest present there. Graphics and appearance - Thanks to unreal engine 5 and some work done by yourself, this place not only looks real, but real-life type real. It looks like something I would actually lay my eyes on. Well done. Conclusion - I want it, and I want it now.
Winterhold was done so dirty in the game, this is so beautiful. We really need Markarth Morthal and Riften, those three are some of the best city designs that the game could only hint at the grandeur
I really think as Todd's last game at BGS he'll bring the team back to skyrim to make the game scale accurate instead of the representative stuff they had to do originally
Don't get me wrong, I love everything about this. However, I think adding some waves crashing against the cliffs would have set an even more perfect tone for this beautiful location. Great work, as usual!
I swear that back in 2011 when skyrim got released and i played it first time, well, it looked like this. And i just realised that was 12 years ago, damn.
There may come a day when we get a true high fantasy game of this magnitude, but not today, all we can do is look at the amazing potential and just.... Hope
Oh wow! Seeing Winterhold as it could have been rather than the shacks that stand there that barely qualify a village... I was just thinking it would have been cool to help purge Winterhold of say ice wraiths, trolls and other nasties (maybe conjured by the College, magical mistakes?) that terrorise the town at night in the ruins of the city - that would have been cool. Winterhold just seems like it is half-finished.
I would love to see an extended look of solitude at some point! also, are you ever going to do places outside of skyrim like the imperial city and vivec city?
I hope someday we get stronger gpus and get a skyrim remake based on these graphics , i wont even mind paying 500$ for it i just really REALLY want to play skyrim like this.

My favorite place in Skyrim. I just love the snow and Shalidor's majestic college.
oooh
you brought me back a wonderful nostalgia for Skyrim with your magnificent work ❤
Thank you!
Вот такой Винтерхолд мы заслужили.Браво! 👍
I need these videos to be a game... Just imagine getting this level of remaster for a game this big, it would be game of the decade
I remembered playing a mage in Skyrim and feeling a little bit disappointed with Winterhold since I thought it should be bigger. This is what it should have been. Magnificent.
That was so sweet! Simply fricking awesome! Thank you for sharing this take on a realistic Winterhold.
Thank you!
Word cannot describe how much I wanna explore this city
0:06 - Despite this being a tree-line and the right-frontal view of the Collage of Winterhold, something seems amiss, something seems... bigger. You can tell the scale of things has increased drastically. The engine also makes this location majestic to behold.
0:22 - A lonely lookout amidst rubble and rock, overseeing winterhold. You get a feeling of solace, as if you are remembering what was - a bigger kingdom, one rife with culture and life. Despite its rather bleak appearance, it speaks more volumes than the Guide to the Empire books.
0:27 - 0:38 - leading on from last comment. You begin to see what was... you also begin to be unable to fathom what could have done such wrathful damage. Or rather, how this damage occurred.
0:39 - just... beautiful, serene, complete. Just how I image in in my head. Nothing more, just pure, unadulterated beauty.
0:47 - 1:02 - Again, beauty. Except this time. You get a sense of community, a warm feeling despite the cold atmosphere present. It feels like the people there have something to old Winterhold citizens didn't - hope. Hope that they could recover from travesty.
Cinematics and general - This is true beauty. Taking what was previously a dingy, depressing town-like "city" and bringing it back from the brink of total and complete loss. Bringing a sense of pride, recovery, and comradery to the people and the city itself. This is a location I would love to visit and complete *every* side quest present there.
Graphics and appearance - Thanks to unreal engine 5 and some work done by yourself, this place not only looks real, but real-life type real. It looks like something I would actually lay my eyes on. Well done.
Conclusion - I want it, and I want it now.
beautiful, xmas 2023 screensaver/wallpaper for sure :3
Thanks!
Winterhold was done so dirty in the game, this is so beautiful.
We really need Markarth Morthal and Riften, those three are some of the best city designs that the game could only hint at the grandeur
Thanks!
I really think as Todd's last game at BGS he'll bring the team back to skyrim to make the game scale accurate instead of the representative stuff they had to do originally
The foot prints in the snow good touch need some cart and horse wld nice. More variety of oil lamps lighting wld be sweet also
Beautiful. I wish Bethesda would just hire you and let you make their maps.
Another amazing rendition. Do you plan on recreating the whole Skyrim map in this way?
Thanks! And I dunno if I'll end up doing all of them- they're kind of a lot of work. Definitely the Imperial City at some point though!
@@lion_towers3dthe imperial city would look amazing if you took a crack at it. Vivec City would also be another great one.
You’re doing the lord’s work! Over and over again! Time to sub
Cheers!
Its crazy and beautiful as always
Thank you!
@@lion_towers3d you're welcome 😁!
Don't get me wrong, I love everything about this. However, I think adding some waves crashing against the cliffs would have set an even more perfect tone for this beautiful location. Great work, as usual!
0:53 would make a LOVELY background on Wallpaper Engine.
This is so pretty! The snow looks amazing!
Thanks!
Okay, now everyone is gonna be waiting for the Mage College! Beautiful work!
I swear that back in 2011 when skyrim got released and i played it first time, well, it looked like this. And i just realised that was 12 years ago, damn.
There may come a day when we get a true high fantasy game of this magnitude, but not today, all we can do is look at the amazing potential and just.... Hope
I have subscribed just for this types of videos. I just love this 😍
Thank you!
Oh wow! Seeing Winterhold as it could have been rather than the shacks that stand there that barely qualify a village...
I was just thinking it would have been cool to help purge Winterhold of say ice wraiths, trolls and other nasties (maybe conjured by the College, magical mistakes?) that terrorise the town at night in the ruins of the city - that would have been cool.
Winterhold just seems like it is half-finished.
Excellent work! Also perfect choice with the music. 👍
Thank you!
The sunlight through the clouds, in the mountains above the statue of Azura... just gorgeous.
Thank you!
Sweet Jesus! Another one of your Unreal 5 restaurations of Skyrim! This is absolutely wonderful!
(And you also know how to pic the music).
Thanks again!
The cinematography and score are beautiful.
Thank you!
You can practically hear the townsfolk complaining about "those damn mages up at the college"
That's so epic dude. Looks incredible.
Thank you!
You Sir deserve an award. This is simply amazing, I can barely describe the awe I'm experiencing.
Thanks!
Wow this is incredible, so cozy in the city with the torches
I would love to see an extended look of solitude at some point! also, are you ever going to do places outside of skyrim like the imperial city and vivec city?
This is much more befitting of the once-capital of Skyrim.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!!! I want to play it so badly! Oooh it looks so good
Thanks!
I hope someday we get stronger gpus and get a skyrim remake based on these graphics , i wont even mind paying 500$ for it i just really REALLY want to play skyrim like this.
Can't wait to see what lore accurate Markarth would be like
I absolutely LOVE these videos. The shot of town at 2:13 is sooo welcoming. It's what I always WANT to see when I get there. ❤
Thanks!
