I'll defend the artists of ESO now. Have you ever tried to navigate one of these weird warped buildings? Lest tried to build them in say: Lego, Minecraft, or even just drawn them?
These descriptions READ well, but they do NOT translate well into actual architecture. Yes, they aren't quite inspired, but such lore is given in ingame books. And I've always thought authors in the world have a thing for the dramatic. They exaggerate, they embellish. The Psijic Order, the Towers however, yes. They should be special.
