It's not... that... bad... Okay, that's terrible.

It's not looking that bad for everyone, is it?

MY textures are definatly better, by default most cards set it to high may want to try ultra most 400 series nvidia and higher cna run that with any quad core.

On the phenom II X4 BE with a nvidia 480gtx OC it runs on ultra fine, i bumped it down after seeign your pics and textures are still better when zoomed.

CHeck card settings. Make sure certain on on application settings and set within the game, at time cards over run and will load default low end textures which may be the case. I also noticed surroundign textures don't seem right either from thsoe screen shots.

Uh, yeah...mine look better than that on the 360. So to answer your question, no you didn't spend that much for those graphics. Upgrade your [censored].

The worst textures I've seen so far are on.. (spoilers)

Updated them from steam not 2 hours ago


It shouldn't matter what brand you use, this was the card I wanted so I bought it, and it should be way more than what you need to run the game.


I bought and completed both Morrowind and Oblivion and all of thier respective DLC's, I know what to expect from a TES game. But as stated in my first post, graphics like this really break the game


I don't expect a graphical powerhouse, just something that looks like it's been released in 2011, not a PS2 looking game (metaphor not literally)
Again i didn't zoom in on any of the textures, thats the standard view, and the picture of the dress, that's right after i finish talking to her.



I pre-loaded this from steam, should i get rid of it and re-download it? start from fresh?
i changed the graphics down to low, then back up to ultra (with restarts in between) and it didn't make the slightest difference.


Also can someone post pictures of the same NPC's at thier graphics setting so i know for sure it isn;t the game?

Cheers all.

I got it for the 360 and it looks alot better than that. It didnt to start with but i spent 20 or so minutes tweaking the display settings on my tv.

On non vital NPC's yes textures are like that (Ultra settings PC user here), along with many other minor objects around the world.

Also dont look at snow covered stones (the barrow area near the first town) if you dont like ugly textures....

Graphics on the 360 are beautiful. No idea why there were so many complaints.

Nvidia [censored] rules.

that looks like quickloaded textures that are suposed to become higher quality when u get closer, but in ur case they didnt

There's definitely something wrong with your graphics settings or drivers. Try updating your drivers or restoring your driver's settings to the default.

I have an ATI HD4850 512 MB.

Pros and Cons of a PC. Your game could either look WAAY better than console, or worst. I have this on PS3 and my textures dont even look like that.

If you want to look at pretty pictures, look at a freaking picture. If you want to play an amazing sandbox-rpg, then quit staring at the pixels and play the flaming game.

to be honest it looks like your mitmap level of detail is set to performance and not quality. try going into AMD Catalyst Control and make sure that everyting is set to quality/high quality.

Video card and/or driver issue.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you don't flash your cards or unlock cores in your CPUs. You break things. Amen.


(lol@u)

Yes, it does. Some of the textures are not bad close up, but most are horrendous.

And it's not a mip-map level thing or whatever. The source textures are low-res and have no place in a 2011 title.

It's obvious this guy is having issues, those textures in his screenshots are not the full resolution textures. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/3046/screenshot6u.jpg vs http://i.imgur.com/M4StV.jpg.

TES Arena? LOL

The problem may be driver based, beautiful on PS3.

its definately something wrong with his card because on my xbox it looks 100x better than that... and xbox is supposed to be the low end.

Here is a screenshot showing a closeup of a wall texture that's I've just taken:

As you can see, no where near as bad as any in the OP. He's clearly lowered the details on purpose or changed something in his control panel by mistake. Such as lowering the detail from Quality to Performance.

This is most definitely some kind of driver/ graphics card issue...

trollin up in this botch

Does it look like that on a monitor ? could be the 40" TV . Just a thought.....

I have a Geforce gtx 590 and i play on Ultra settings and yes, the textures are blurry. Just compare them to The Witchers 2 textures and you will cry.
