lolnope
with enough graphical mods you can entirely ruin the atmosphere the game
and make everything look ass-ugly and weird

I don't think you know what you're talking about :I
Skyrim vanilla looked horrendous btw

if you're someone who loves morrowind so much i'd figure you could appreciate beauty without being super graphically intensive

I wanted more food so i killed a chicken with an arrow and then I look up and then the whole village was chasing me.

:c

welcome to being super late to the thing that everyone did the first day skyrim came out.



also, vanilla skyrim is beautiful.
I don't really get why people think the graphics are so stuffty. Sure the people and stuff don't looks the greatest, but they look fitting within their atmosphere.
I don't need things to looks "ultra realistic hd", because most of the time that stuff looks plain wrong in a video game.

There are so many places in this game that I look at and I am just like "wow". It doesn't need to look realistic and "good" it just needs to look cool, which skyrim pulls off well. as wells as morrowind, and oblivion in some places.

I meant Skyrim's atmosphere felt bad and also wildly varying texture resolutions made it look poop

it really is a matter of what you consider good graphically

i personally enjoy it when the graphics manage to look as close to as they would in reality as possible (bumpmaps, reflections, water improvements, etc.) to an extent i previously believed not reachable easily

the issue with this of course is that the initial "WWWWAOW" can distract too much from the actual game, and once it wears off, it's like "ehh. w/e. how can it be even better"

honestly though, vanilla skyrim is pretty good-looking. not the paradigm of graphics in games, but it's pretty gosh darn good.

Those must be post-processed, because I doubt playing in that is as fun as looking at stills of it.

30 fps ingame. Up to 60 in dungeons. Bleak ENB.

I'm not talking about processing, I'm talking about how hard it must be to play when everything is one of 20 shades of bleached peach.

Easy really. If I get tired of the colors, I switch it to Bight instead of Bleak. Same creator, easy to swap.

yeah, I prefer graphics to just look good within the realm of the game. If everything in the game is all blocky and low res(as long as everything doesn't look like poop) than it looks fine to me.
Games set within our universe and timeline should look as realistic as possible. But Skyrim can look however it wants because it'll look like Skyrim and fit within its own realm regardless of whether it is realistic or not.

That's not at all what it said. It said you filled in more than the average person, which is probably a lie.

Anyways, signed up.
