The open cities mod is huge as that just increases immersion a ton. The less exaggerated forest around whiterun is nice as well, I see northern roads which is an amazing mod, the new textures and city overhaul look incredible as well. This is shaping up to be an incredible update just from visuals alone, and as you said I wonder what else is in store for us

I’m so grateful that OP stopped and looked around when first entering Whiterun because I was in absolute shock seeing how graphically gorgeous this came out. I would absolutely love it if Skyrim could be remade with these graphics and would gladly pay more for it. I’m absolutely stunned. You did such an incredible job!

Whiterun has never looked better. The new merchants outside the gates were a nice touch. On top of that I wasn't expecting open cities and Geralt doing the voice lines. I know it is early and all of this might not make it in the final version but V6 seems to be off to a very good start.

Something to give it a Capital Scale like Whiterun Valley/Capital Whiterun/ Jks Whiterun Exterior, or Whiterun Metropolis.

Definitely very impressive and totally looking forward to it! Big question for me though is if "lesser" objects were given some love as well. I noticed with V5, there were a couple untouched objects still using Vanilla textures. The biggest culprit (quite literally) being Alduin. Understandable to miss some lesser objects not many folks really notice, but the main Antagonist, whom is met right in the beginning of the game, was completely untouched, so that raised an eyebrow considering there's over 2000 mods installed.

@TheVektor2012 @lordnix6255 Nolvus contains Bellyache's HD Dragon Replacer, this is correct, and is something I overlooked. However, this should raise the question of should it be updated in Nolvus 6 to achieve higher quality. Best example: Once you meet up with Hadvar in Helgan and jump off the small ledge, Alduin lands on the wall and breathes fire. This is your first up close and personal look at Alduin. It's very apparent at this time that the basic HD replacer pales in comparison to something such as Deiformed Alduin with ENB eyes, especially if other dragons have the high quality GOT dragon replacer installed. It really makes Alduin stick out and feel outdated when every other dragon has high quality models/textures. This is all personal taste, of course, and the mod author has their own vision, but I'd at least recommend doing a compare and contrast between replacers to see what has the best quality and best aesthetics before launching the next big update. I'll be playing it regardless, but Nolvus has the reputation of being the most visually impressive modlist, so screen snipers like me raise eyebrows when we see stuff like this is all. Not an issue if the mod author intended it, I just thought it was an untouched asset that was accidentally overlooked.

Next time you download Nolvus make sure to drop a few bucks if you can manage it. Not affiliated with Vektor in any way, but I'm a massive fan of the work. 5.2.3 is the best Skyrim experience I have ever had.
