I had a dream that this update was out, only brick lights made shadows that become sharper the closer your are or blurrier the further you are
Yeah, I'm wondering if this is how shadows could be. It's what Red Dead Redemption does. There is a small radius around the player, in that radius, the shadows are sharp. Outside the radius, shadows are a bit blurry, but not a lot of quality is lossed. It's not as demanding as making every shadow sharp and perfect, but I'm not worried about shadows being too demanding.
Then maybe for screenshots, every shadow could be rendered sharp and high-quality, just for the sake of taking high-quality screenshots.
