It just occured to me that I never made a post about the Butterfly Room video I made a while ago.
In Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Xbox 360, there’s an expansion pack called the Shivering Isles that, when entering the expanded area for the first time, you encounter one particular room that you will never visit again for the entire game (unless you start a new one completely over, or reload a prior save from before you visited it). The transition is rather clever, I think, because the stone walls turn into butterflies and they flitter away as you are allowed entry into the new realm. The realm itself is actually rather peculiar, so this transition is quite appropriate. Here’s what a visit through this room looks like, at different times of the day.
