The True Scale of Falkreath: Skyrim in UNREAL ENGINE 5! [4K]

Рет қаралды 139,557

Күн бұрын

I made Falkreath in Unreal Engine 5 - at a more realistic and lore-accurate scale! Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore accurate scale to Tamriel’s cities - so here’s Falkreath - now with sixteen times the detail!
Falkreath was honestly kind of difficult to adapt, not because it was overly complicated, but just because it lacked a particularly unique visual character or style to anchor to. Falkreath in vanilla Skyrim was pretty much just known for the graveyard, and for looking really pretty… so kinda just ran with that, going for that woodsy, ‘village nestled in a pine forest vibe’.
Again, when operating at these scales, it’s not really the point to do a one-to-one recreation. Instead, it becomes more of a spiritual upgrade - to get the feeling and vibe of the original, while giving an impression for what a more realistic size would be…

Very well done! Actually one important fact about Falkreath Hold in general is that it is the gateway to and from Skyrim. So the roads, at least till Falkreath Hold, would be well maintained and upto the Empire's standards for transporting both troops and goods. The Nords were a big part of Septim empire's army after all. The puny little village we see in Skyrim i ascribe to the war and loss of trade, not to mention the lazy, useless Jarl.

Simply beautiful... but I wish you had less fern coverage and more open grass and or dirt areas. I know it's a subjective thought. Most varieties of ferns grow in moist, shady forests; or in crevices in rock faces, even more so when sheltered from the sun which Falkreath's description supports. Depending on the variety, they don't do well in cold weather below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or 10 degrees Celcius. Just a thought. Overall, your work is extremely impressive and gorgeous to look at. Thanks for sharing!

It's not even subjective. To my eye, all these settlements and towns look like post-apocalyptic visions due to the overgrowth everywhere. From the houses to the streets it all looks like no one walked/lived there for years.

Really pretty, the assets are well defined and detailed with beautiful materials and with a well-crafted atmosphere, not too much unlike most Unreal videos, and the Unreal 5 works wonders with a huge hardware configuration and slow and contemplative shots and above all non-interactive, ultimately Unreal 5 is not a video game engine adapted to the majority of configurations but a very quiet virtual stroll engine working with very powerful machines

@lordwark7364 Ай бұрын

When the video first started I was concerned it looked like a small village but as the video played I was satisfied it is another worthy addition. The Town/City now has proper a Nordic look and size to be a Capital of Falkreath. The only real complaint I have is that it looks a bit too overgrown and not lived in the place kinda looks abandoned with ferns growing everywhere and leaves building up. I was wondering if the collection of tents at the end were meant to be the market? Falkreath should have a market being the closest Hold capital to the Cyrodillian provinces.

I don't see this as a flaw at all. It's meant to be a game after all, not a walking simulator ;) Sure, some thing could be a bit bigger in scale, but without content to fill these places with life and interactions, they'd be little more than 3d matte paintings.
