DESCRIPTION
sL7utv4LOjo
Going from place to place in Skyrim, you see the difference between somewhere like, say, Whiterun compared to Windhelm or Markarth. Banners, buildings, guard uniforms. It gives you a sense that you've travelled, and that you're somewhere different.
Except that the shop signs almost all look the same. Generic jellyfish-in-a-can alchemists signs;
weird weighing scales for general good shops. And not a shop name in
sight. Which you could understand if it was a matter of language
localisation... except the inns all have written names.
Oh yes, those Inn signs with the same clipart foaming tankard.
Numerous signs with the same puffy pseudo-Celtic font, like Beowulf meets Comic Sans.
Stables displaying signs that looked like a bored goat with a big pretzel stuck on its back.
And all on that same shabby, rotten wood background.
It felt jarring, so I changed it.
Now shops display their name on their sign (I apologise to my non-English
speaking readers), and each shop has its own artwork. Alchemists no
longer feel like the Tamriel equivalent of McDonalds. I've also added brand new signage for the stables at Windhelm, Markarth and Solitude, with the appropriate local feel.
YES, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS THE MOD USES AN . ESP
- also because I've made some adjustments and changes to placement of signs to give places more of their own personality.
