I don't know what some people are smoking when they say the graphics are terrible. I'm running on 4k and the trees.... oh my god the trees... I've finally just left the vault and the first thing I'm doing is run up to a tree and just.... look up. Bethesda has once again absolutely nailed down the scale of the environment in relation to the player. Unfortunately this is one of the weaker points of TW3, not to turn this into a debate, but that was one of my pet peeves, is because geralt felt really big in the world. Sorry but in Bethesda's world, you are very small!

There are trees?

In the witcher? Those were basically shrubs. Not massive trees like red-wood or oaks.

Screenshots for us loser people that have to wait for the actual release of the game?

I don't know about the trees, but I plan to toggle the grass off (console command- tg) or kill it in the graphics settings. I'd rather the GPU and the VRAM be used for more "important" graphics.

That and it un-hides goodies that would not otherwise be easy to see.

Wouldnt grass hide said goodies?

Perhaps it is that there is gorgeous vegetation. As I recall, there wasn't supposed much of any in the series prior.

I've seen screenshots, and so far ~it's par; nothing really wrong with it IMO.

Well you are running it with a 4k monitor which console gamers and even most PC gamers like myself don't have sadly. I'm sure of course it would look better at 4x the resolution.

Yes. Which is why I wrote toggling it off un-hides goodies.

I'm not going to turn any effects off, everything is staying on for me!
