In this video, I'm showing off my mod, which completely replaces the models and textures of the Imperial City in Oblivion. Today, we'll simply stroll through its streets.

The road to this project has been arduous: work began back in 2016, and since then, the city's appearance has changed dramatically—from elven ruins to a grim 90s-inspired Retro Dark Fantasy. Twice, hard drive failures resulted in the loss of progress, forcing me to start from scratch.

Ultimately, I settled on the Romanesque style. This is a severe and majestic architecture that reinterprets ancient Roman forms for the needs of the Middle Ages. It is in this form that the Imperial City will become the "first pillar" of my global overhaul, combining three styles of Cyrodiil: Imperial Romanesque, Elven, and Brick Gothic. Other ancient human structures have been reworked based on this architecture: dungeons, the prison and the Arena of the Imperial City, abandoned forts and wayshrines.
