As a fan of Age of Conan’s artworks for many years, I can see the design of Dragon’s Spine is different from the old worlds. The most distinct part is the sky, you can see there are many gradations between the sky and clouds but not just a fog in old worlds. When the light of sun goes through the layers, the colour is just amazing. Especially at the magic hour, the scenes are incredibly charming and brilliant.
The atmosphere and architecture of the map is so great that I cannot stop taking screenshots. Even there are only rocks and woods, it already makes me charmed.
