That's gorgeous, I love the beam of light through a chink in the rock, shining right onto the throne!

Nice screenshot.

Actually it reads "DURIN GABIL UZBAD A KHAZAD", which means "Durin Great Lord of Dwarves" (according to the lexicon of ardalambion, I'm not a specialist of Khuzdul  ).The level of detail put in by the devs is actually amazing...

Very impressive screen, hopefully my comp will be able to kick out that level of graphical quality. Some nice light blooming effects and use of a soft focus look. Short but sweet write up also.
Hm, maybe i will be a dwarf afterall...

The big pillars are impressively textured. But I'm missing Light&Shadow-Effects, except the one beam that spotlights the throne itself.

well i actualy like the artwork more than the ingame rendering... except for the beam of light of course...
3d rendering seems very underworked... the lack of shadows is killing the image making it unrealistic... stuff just looks like its been thrown in there... the flags look like they were just tailored washed and ironed to stay perfectly straight... the flag supports that stick out from the pillars are just simple sticks... about the texture on the pillars... is it just me or it looks like someone drew graphitty on them instead of them actualy looking like carved 3d stone I just hope this wont be the final lvl of detail we will see in the world ...

The pattern on the pillars (hehe weird how we all perceive things differently) looks as though it's inlaid metal rather than carvings. The lack of shadows I'll agree on, there are the two lamps there and a light source from whoever has taken the screenshot so there should be a few shadows...perhaps he/she had them turned off in graphic options
