Gameplay > Graphics.

Hello MrBigglesworth.


What's inaccurate about that? Graphics can be anolyzed from an art direction perspective or a purely technical viewpoint.

But gameplay doesn't have to be compromised for increased graphics quality. How is this post relevant?

EDIT: To the above, as I said in the post you quoted aesthetics are not graphics. Art style/direction is aesthetics related, not graphics related. A game can have a good aesthetic with poor graphics and vise versa.

Skyrim has good aesthetics (in my opinion) and average graphics due to the poor draw distances, certain textures and bleh shadows. On the flip side Battlefield 3 has good graphics and very bad aesthetics due to the blue tint, way too much lense flare and contrast turned up to 11.

With all of Skyrim's problems, the graphics aren't one of them.

PC version has mods were you can upgrade the textures by 100x so quit complaining.
Remember that Skyrim is a Xbox 360 created game that is ported to PS3 and PC; this is the same as Oblvion and that may not be ideal, but that is just how it is.

I can't recall it

I dunno, I guess I felt a bit like this wasn't serious or grasping at straws due to the repeated comparisons to seman and the "subtle" title.The Performance paragraph is pointless without his system specs also his comment on the trees was a bit of a stretch.

I was probably a bit harsh, but it seems an odd thing to criticise.

Those parts in the original post made me lose any respect in the poster as it shows a serious lack of maturity and just shows someone complaining for the sake of complaining. As well as the egotistical bit by saying "as I play on the greatest system" also degrades and real sense of purpose in the topic as the system is just matter of opinion. Even with all of the mods on PC, I still prefer 360.

You know I posted my system inside the spoilers.

Hi again!



I know what dynamic snow is supposed to be. I have yet to notice its effects. To my eyes, surface textures don't seem to changee, even if the surface gets snowed on for in-game hours after in-game hours. Is there a timeline video that shows its effects?

I'm happy with the graphics in Skyrim. I figure from the number of mods that improve the graphics that it can be improved on, and that many people want them, which is fine for them. I prefer to save my computer space for mods that do other things.

They don't change at all but the snow texture on 3d objects isn't placed by hand.

In my opinion Oblivion has better graphics, but skyrim has more detail put in. how the hair is in skyrim is terrible.

Ah, I didn't see that.

Because hey why not?
Once you've complained about every other [censored] thing in the game, what's left?
If not graphics, hey! I know...

I shall start a thread: "Why I think Bethesda should have made the Jarl of Whiterun's eyes a different colour and this has ruined the game for me."
Because [censored] you everything and why not.

So, are you unhappy with Vanilla Skyrim or unhappy with the fact that you are seemingly forced to use mods?

If you use mods to make the game look better, them why is there even an issue?

Gameplay > Graphics. Enough said.

Edit: Ninjaed.

What does vanilla skyrim mean anyway??

You have to understand, finding problems in games is very important. If you don't venomously complain about something online you look like a devoted fan, which is terrible for one's virtual identity.

Hmmmm, they changed one of the words I used.
Test:
devoted fan
fan boy
really devoted fan
fan boi
fahn boi....Strange...

Un modified. Then you add flavors to make chocolate and strawberry.

Skyrim without mods, exactly as Bethesda made it.

Chocolate please, with sprinkles.

Ok thanks

well here's to another thread that crashed and burned for obvious reasons , I swear if it said loving skyrim, kept the composition/conveyance used the reproductive cells as a positive terminology the guy would be getting Kudos all day.

Hello there PhonAntiPhon.


No. If you depict criticism as void and gratuitous it becomes easy to dismiss without you ever having to counter the points, doesn’t it? Except that it isn't void and gratuitous, not to my eyes and not in this case. Frankly speaking, the OP is much more substantial than your reply, which appears to be a simple knee jerk reaction, since you did not address any of his points, or any points for that matter. You think Skyrim graphics are flawless? Well, that’s great. Back on topic, I remember when I still wasn't a forum member but browsed there was a very knowledgeable poster, whose name I’ve since forgotten, whom in a very detailed fashion listed Skyrim’s graphical shortcomings. Maybe someone from that long gone Era could revive his posts on the matter.

It wouldn't have mattered now Z, she'd/he'd still get the flail ;p

Hi again.

Ah, I see. Then it's not really dynamic, is it? I mean, it's dynamic through out cloned objects, but not on the same object.
