Thread: TES V: Skyrim

Hah, giant using a saber-toothed cat for batting practice.


The reason why the graphics look "bad," or at least not nearly as good as they could on a PC, is because it's really a port of an Xbox 360 game onto PC. Though some graphical enhancements were added in the PC port, it can't take full advantage of more powerful hardware.

Like I hate that I can see pixelation in many of the textures, just as an example of a very basic put important issue. This isn't 2005.

It absolutely sucks how new PC releases are now all just direct ports of console games, with the exception of PC-only releases of course.

Is there ANY reason why casters should wear cloth over light armor? I simply see no advantage, considering that light armor can have the exact same spell enhancements as well...

I guess spell-enhancing light armor is harder to find, and if you want to enchant it you have to both level enchanting and get souls high enough to make it worth it.

Honestly, I'm glad the graphics aren't that great because I'm playing with a shitty Intel HD Accelerated graphics card on my laptop and it lets play on low for everything *whew*. I tried higher settings but it gets choppy. However, when I build that badass PC I do want to play this game on max settings because screenshots of this game look absolutely gorgeous. I'll post some of those I've seen.
