Elder Scrolls V SKYRIM !! 11-11-11

resolution for one, makes it hard to spot any other differences.

i was lucky enough to find the series with morrowind. it had just come out and i actually bought an xbox just for that game. i have played it on pc bought had to sell my pc at the time, and xbox was my option. boy. no game has trapped me like that sense, and the only one before was diablo.

if you can handle the graphics, i really recommend it/ it's very deep and rewarding gameplay.

I don't mean to be rude, but I cannot really see the difference between Low and Ultra. Or Am I just blind?

Seriously? Anti-Aliasing is evident as are filtered textures. Lighting effects are more pronounced. Mipmaps etc. It's pretty obvious, what monitor are you viewing them on?

1) The most immediate difference is the amount of Anti-Aliasing. Jaggies everywhere.

2) Look at the ground. The textures are quite a bit muddier on "Low"

3) All the shadows are soft on "Ultra".

4) The tree's in the distance get noticeably more appealing visually due to the mist around them.

5) Also, look at the top left of the screen. You should be able to tell a huge difference in quality from comparing the tree branches.

Ok, after comparing them side by side at 1:1 pixel mapping, I can see difference in slightly better textures, more things, better lighting and shadows, AA. But on a whole, not much difference. Viewing on laptop monitor.

This may seem like a stupid question but in Skyrim, does your character have his own voice or is it like every single other Bethesda RPG in the past, where the heroes' have no voice?

No voice. The character is you. You are the lead, not playing the guy who is the lead character.

I don't mean to be rude, but I cannot really see the difference between Low and Ultra. Or Am I just blind?

The difference is in the effects. Look at the water wheel. Low it has a fog around it for some reason. On Ultra you can see the water on the wheel, splashing, and that the fog is actually a water mist.

On a side not this game needs DX11 and some Tessellation. PC HD pack trend to continue? I hope.

I dont think anyone could handle Skyrim with tesselation

 

[Easy Rhino]

remember when oblivion came out and how it crippled people's rigs on medium?

 

[Fourstaff]

I wish Skyrim came with tesselation and whatnots, It could be the best looking game, but consoles just had to ruin it

remember when oblivion came out and how it crippled people's rigs on medium?

I was playing with 1digit framerates, everything set at minimum. It still looked very very good.

 

[digibucc]

i actually built a machine based on the specs for oblivion. first gaming rig since morrowind it ran very well for me

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Uh you're running it on your "Mobility Radeon 4750 512MB"? And you're complaining?

remember when oblivion came out and how it crippled people's rigs on medium?

Very well. I jacked it up to 1920x1200/High on my old 22" CRT once to look around in the grass outside Anvil and while I only got like 8 fps and could not even move my jaw hit the floor.

Challenge accepted!

 

[Hanam]

I can't wait to disable my crossfire and play the game crippled while waiting for a CAP

lol at pics.

Anyhow, why are people bitching about graphics? Whats the first rule of RPG? Story and immersion in the world. As long as the gameplay is good and the world is as expansive and 'explorable' as the other ES games, it doesn't need spangle tastic everything gfx.

Besides, the gfx look good enough. Certainly not dated.

 

[Captain.Abrecan]

No. It's an Elder Scrolls game.

Sorry I am no good at into sattire

 

[Easy Rhino]

this game would be even better if you could 'party' up with people and explore a persistent world, created on initial load, together. no, im not talking about WoW.

Something like Neverwinter nights 2, but done correctly. OMG I can't but totally agree.

Yeah...I hope this isn't the case. Any word yet? I guess I should look/post at Guru3D.

No support at release is less and less the rule but there was no alpha and beta of this and such though they may provide an early build to AMD and NV. Sure no mention of Skyrim in any recent release notes, however.

I did a quick google and it seems like it currently has negative scaling. 30 fps with crossfire enabled and 50 disabled.

I'm sure just one of my 6970's can handle the game fine. I just prefer to walk around with 120 fps

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Aw crap. I have 6850s.

I see a difference in textures, AF and particle effects.

if anybody is interested.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 4 CD soundtrack

http://www.bethblog.com/index.php/2011/11/03/pre-order-the-four-disc-skyrim-soundtrack/

if you order by December 23rd the composer will autograph it.

That's actually a pretty good price for a 4-disc soundtrack imo.

How are you playing it already?

I'm not, I'm just looking at the pictures posted on the page before this one.

Exactely! just because there is tesselation does not mean that you have to use it... users could run the DX10 version on lesser rigs but people with the power could at least enjoy the game looking as good as possible... imagine the tesselation effects inside the caves, on the walls and cobbled paths and the dragons scales etc

Pity they dont appear to have graphically pushed the boundries with this game as they did when Oblivion was first launched.
