Bethesda Softworks uploaded 10 screenshots and five pieces of concept art to their company blog on 11 February.

The screenshots and concept art have appeared in print format and on gaming websites before but this is the first time they have been available for viewing and download online at Bethesda's website.

The files can be downloaded by clicking on the pictures to be directed to Bethesda Softworks' Flickr channel. Selecting view all sizes under the actions tab will forward viewers to the download page.

    Screens look good. but im really not impressed. I was expecting way better visuals. Good thing a construction set will be released. Skyrim will definately be a modders paradise to make improvements.

    Unlike the Morrowind and Oblivion releases, this time around we aren't dealing with a next-gen game. Naturally the upgrade wouldn't be as drastic. All in all though, I personally was extremely impressed. The upgrade isn't of the sort that catches your eye immediately like in the past, but the attention to detail is where this game appears to really excel. Look more closely at those shots and I think you'll see what I mean.

    The change really is drastic, in its own way...

    Graphics gave me mixed opinions, I like them though and wouldn't mind if they stayed like this, only hope the vegetation gets improved yes. Might be because I'm running a three year old system and may need to upgrade if this game gets very heavy, would hate to play it while not maxed out. I'm glad they improved the looks of the characters a lot, and er... Scene shadows! Keep 'em! Do eet!

    I've seen a a lot of thistles in my time, and believe you me, THEY AREN'T MADE OF CARDBOARD.
    But overall, I like the visuals.

    Corakus, that is the Mage Path.

    There are three paths:
    mage, Warrior(?), thief(?)

    They afford to be lazy right now. There's still a long way until the release. Beautiful images indeed, by I realy want to see a gameplay trailer or at least another video that shows something. Anyway, we move on, one day at a time.

    I also looked closer at some of the enemy shots and I noticed a few things.For one thing, the giant's right arm (the one holding the weapon) looks smaller than his left arm, which doesn't seem to make sense to me, I hope that gets fixed.I also noticed that one of the Draugr looks like he's crying, maybe he's crying because he doesn't have a helmet unlike his friends?And also there seems to be a fourth Draugr behind that one.The troll itself seems rather unremarkable, basically a Skyrim version of the Cyrodiilic troll.The spell does interest me though, I can't tell whether it's a touch spell or the "flamethrower" spell that Bethesda mentioned a few times.If you look carefully, you can almost see some of the flames reaching behind the troll too.

    If you look closely at the background of the Bendu Olo interface screenshot you can see the mage birthsign.So I guess there's still going to be birthsigns.Also you see one of the skills on the far left that ends in "aft".I guess that would be speechcraft, I thought they would have gotten rid of that or merged it with Mercantile to one skill maybe called persuasion.Also they're missing a few shots, like the one where the warrior is walking into a village and he sees an NPC and his dog walking together.Or the one with the warrior attacking the giant spider with a two-handed sword.Even though we've already seen these screens these ones are much more detailed, can't wait to see a gameplay video.

    I heard Todd say on podcast that they're trying implement spellcrafting even better than it was in Oblivion.
