Minecraft is sucessful, look at those graphics. When will people realise that graphics aren't the most important thing?

Where did anyone here say that was the case? You've made a useless post from a baseless assumption, congratulations.

I direct you to my previous post in this thread.

The only notibly low-quality textures are the ones who, if all loaded at once, would [censored] your processors(10s of thousands of duplicates of same textures in the open world).

....? Where did I say you can improve the textures in the .ini?

I said you can improve LOD/shadows/draw distance, which you claim you can only see 20 meters of apparently.

Not everyone is gaming on a Pentium 4.

To Aramyn: 20 meters is roughly the point where visual quality begins to decay below "normal". Minor foliage starts disappearing, etc. Settings can be pushed slightly higher by editing the options file but textures will still be terrible. Which is what this thread is about.

You said Skyrim is about the big picture, the big picture is just as bad as the up close one.

Don't embarrass yourself by thinking you're the only one around here who knows how to tweak an ini lmao.

p4s are becoming outdated soon enough. Sitting on a 6x3.6ghz AMD cpu right now, sadly the game only uses about 34% at all times Oh and on consoles the third core is used for random access memory, instead of having its seperate hardware-part, which also limits consoles alot.

But my point was that with 4000x4000 textures the game would be unplayable due to the open world concept.

That's what LOD distance is for. Also keep in mind that even though the game world is open, it's still heavily instanced.

Wow you are hopeless. I'm going to go back to playing my heavily tweaked awesome looking game. You can go back to staring at walls from a foot away and being a baby about it.

I play on pc and I think its fine.
Why are you worried about it anyway, its like rage all over again.

Gods! The second image... I can't even wear gloves of any sort as a mage. I'm hoping the mod tools offer an easy way to equip multiple rings to make up for the lack of gloves.

SERIOUSLY. I don't understand the whining. It's not the best but it's really not even as close to as bad as people make it out to be. Not being able to hotkey for dual wielding is the only thing i think they failed on in the UI but that doesn't make it the worst.

You mean "you don't comprehend another persons opinion because it's contrary to yours". It is not whining. (Well, there are whining people, (To complain or protest in a childish fashion.) but this apparently applies to everyone with a differing opinion. Not just the "childish" ones.)

Any time people disagree, one becomes a whiner.........yeah, ok.

Just so you know, I don't hate the UI, but it could be better.....am I a whiner now to?

<_<

i think its only a bug deal because of the size and scale of this game, it was one of the huge releases this year, and we all know bethesda could make an amazing game, i love this game, but there are alot of problems with it, the way i see it is its like the game is so bad ass..we dont need no stinking graphics, and i guess thats fine if the company is ok with settling. Most companies dont strive for perfection like they used to, and bethesda is no exception, they could have made the game look better and they did not.. period

Dang folks keep I some what civil. Some of u guys are acting like a bunch of second graders.......


Hmmmm actually that's an insult to my daughters entire second grade class.

I merely pointed out that the texture quality was inconsistent. But, sure, put words into my mouth if you want.

I completely disagree. I have PC and 360 and the 360 looks horrible amongst many other things.

Get off his back.
He only pointed out a lower quality texture and that suddenly means he thrashes the entire game and prefers graphics?

You Bethesda Defense Forces people never cease to amaze me. :shrug:
If it wasn't for the community feedback(or whining according to you), Bethesda would never improve. At all.

Okay I have been on the bad textures bandwagon since release....anyone following the forums would have probably seem my post (and former signature about textures) about textures. I let it rest to try to enjoy the game but I Just got to Windhelm and am completely dumbfounded. This is the worst looking area of this game by far.

What in the heck happened with this city? The textures look even lower-res than the other garbage in the game..and the entire city looks like complete crap out of 1985. What the heck?

Same here! I'm playing on an Xbox 360 set at 1080p output to a Samsung full HD TV set at Game mode 1080p and the graphics including the textures are sublime and the best I've seen in such a huge world such as Skyrim. Detail is everywhere, leaves, tree trunks, wood, the diffrerent surfaces on the ground, leaves, plants etc and the stone work, all absolutely gorgeous and illustrating just what the Xbox 360 is still capable of.

I found this amusing because when the Xbox 360 launched console gamers were joyous and throwing around terms like "high definition" and "anti-aliasing", now they call PC gamers "graphics wh0res" and "snobs" because most console games are rendered in sub-720p and only since FXAA have any games had a reasonable anti-aliasing solution (which looks crap in the sub-HD resolutions in which the games are actually displayed on large screens).

When you have the capability you call it having standards, or "next-gen".
When you don't have the capability you go in to denial and call it "snobbery".


If you saw what 2048 textures looked like you would change your mind, either that or you'd go in to denial because consoles don't have the memory.

All I can say is "thank the gods for the modding community", they remember that your average gaming PC has much more than 512MB of memory to utilise.

Haha..

There you go Bethesda.. most playing your game are very happy with the graphics no need to do ANYTHING to them.

But really would have been nice if they went that extra mile for PC. So yeah they did a great job on porting the game to PC. If consoles is what brings in the money then this is what we will see.

And you and the OP haven't even listed your GPU...


<--- Nvidia 560 ti and the game kills Oblivion for me in graphics and I play both in max settings. Give me a break. Troll Skyrim harder.

You quoted the part where he said Xbox 360, so a cut down X1800.


I can see how someone would say that if they never played with Qarl's Texture Pack.

<-- Core i5 2500k, GTX 580, game textures are nothing special. Overall design and environment is a different story.

Bah.
