Be aware that this is a rant. Thank you.

Why should I bother with Skyrim texture packs when they a: have a higher resolution than my computer and b: make everything look dirtier? I understand that Skyrim is a rugged country; however, one has only to look at photos of Alaska to see how good such a place can look. And characters don't have to be so grimy you can hardly tell what color their skin is.

So don't use it?
