Today's One Shots was sent in by Lockwood, a level 50 Hunter who calls Lord of the Rings Online home. This screen was sent in answer to the post a couple of days ago showing off the beauty in LotRO. Apparently Lockwood got a great new video card, so he wanted to show off how nice the game looks on his machine too! Here's what he had to say about the area in the screenshot:
Evendim! There's a lot to it -- but this is my favourite bit. Mainly because it's a friendly camp, so I'm not getting chased by several mobs at any one time. I'll keep my eye out for other stuff -- I'm sure I can beat this shot.
Hey, we're just fine with people who want to show off better and better looking spots in their respective games. If you'd like to take up the gauntlet and show off the most breathtaking places in your online worlds -- or perhaps to show off just how badly you need a new video card, instead -- we'll happily take your screenshots! Just send them to us at oneshots AT gmail DOT com, and keep an eye out here. Yours could be featured next!

LotRO is my home too! I just wish my computer would show off as good of graphics as this : (. But even on my computer, the graphics are still a lot better than WoW.

I'd just like to say, "Graphics aren't everything...", but if you have the $$$$$$ to spend on a nice quad core and a nice video card you could do worse than LotRO in DirectX 10 mode. (Bioshock looks great as well in DirectX 10 mode, runs better as well, you loose like 40% of your FPS in LotRO in Dx10 mode)
vs. WoW though, I think WoW is more accessible making it "more pretty" to everyone else. I mean think about it, the game pretty much looks the SAME on just about every computer out there meaning that no matter what you play the game on, you're not missing anything.
Not that I like WoW, I've played the game for a month and got pretty annoyed with it, but I think the art direction and that sense of "wow cool" is even with LotRO. I mean the Balroq in LotRO is pretty cool, but just about every dungeon in WoW has that "wow" factor in it somewhere.
