k I need to address two moron remarks in here.

1) the faded color of the environment. that's only in some areas. Well it's all part of trying to give you a realistic experience. the tundra areas of the map is a good example of this. without a bright light source, of course you will see everything muted out... that's how it works in real life...and I'm glad they took it to heart, to properly light the environment in a way that makes it more believable.

those images in the link you posted, look almost HDR'ed... hardly a realistic light occlusion and scatter ( or whatever they call it)

2) That picture with the horse defying gravity: well yeah it looks silly, even more so with a horse, but in general I'm glad they gave the player super human climbing abilities, simply because it helps with climbing mountainous areas without having the use of your arms. So yeah even though it's not realistic, it was a damn good decision. This is an instance where bending reality serves the gaming experience well. As a matter of fact you'll notice that the game mechanics really try to help you along with crazy climbs or deadly steep declines, and it's done in a very sensible way.

Too saturated for my taste. Make's it look more like a cartoon and loses the grittiness imo.

OK scrap what I said, I tried it and there is an option during installation for a less-saturated config. I used this, did a few more tweaks and now the game looks pretty fucking stunning :up:

It's really not that bad Donny, I rented it and between skyrim and Forza 4 I'm not sure which game I'd prefer. It's good but it's not heroin good.

2 Hanging Gardens of Babylon
3 Statue of Zeus at Olympia
4 Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5 Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
6 Colossus of Rhodes

Anyone tried to take down Lu'ah Al-skaven? She's a bad bitch. I had to leave her layer. I'll be back when I'm more powerful.

Amazing game.

I used the auto-installer exe.

Seriously, with these tweaks, it's one of the best looking games out there, at least from a creative/artistic standpoint. Genuine jaw-drops with every new town I visit.

Just gotta find that side-quest called life and i'm all sorted :up:

Press the holster button (R on PC) and you will. It doesn't holster it if you have an arrow drawn.

swhat I mean. sometimes I have an arrow drawn because I'm not sure if the peep in the distance is friend or foe. if it turns out to be a friend, I can't lower my weapon without shooting the arrow first.

I ended up turning off all the adjustments as well as the color saturation one, and only left the post-sharpener running at about half of its initial setting. Honnestly this thing made me realize, that there in an art to setting sharpness correctly, and it's not all about processing power and bumping it up as much as possible. Too much sharpness really takes away from the cinematic and somewhat more realistic perception of the surroundings . By allowing a slight blur, it somewhat creates this super effective AA and Anisotropic Filtering, that just seems more natural... especially at longer distances.

if you want to try my setup out, here is the contents of my injFX_Settings.h


/*======================================================================================
"USER" ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
======================================================================================*/

// TODO: Normalize values to be on a human range scale, whole numbers prefered, decimals usable for micro adjustments

------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
//For higher precision in the calculation of contour, requires slightly more processing power
bool highQualitySharpen = 0; //0 = Disable | 1 = Enable

// Set values to calculate the amount of AA produced blur to consider for the sharpening pass
#define Average 0.8
#define CoefBlur 2

// Set values of the sharpening amount
#define SharpenEdge 0.2
#define Sharpen_val0 1.0


/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
// Number of samples per pixel taken for the Bloom effect. Don't set it to high! 4 = 25spp, 8 = 81spp, 16 = 289spp

float BloomWidth = 1; // Sets the width of the effect (Valid Values = 1 to 9, use decimals for finetuning)
float BloomPower = 1; // The power of the effect (Valid Values = 1 to 9, use decimals for finetuning)


/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I lowered the sharpen filter down a tad too. For a medieval/high-fantasy style game like this though, the sharpening gives it a nice, girtty look. When you take a screenshot, it actually takes one without the filter and one with the filter. In my eyes, this mod looks better 99% of the time. Just a shame the UI text is a little funky.

yeah they should have some kind of "defaults" equivalents that way you can atleast make an educated ques as to how much things are altered...would make for alot easier tweaking...

or a full blown slider UI!
