[Captain]

...which you've sold plenty of, right?

[Κracus]

Do you really want to know?

It's good but it's not heroin good.

But it is hero good.

This game is fucking massive. I am absolutely stunned how they put all this shit together.
So what have we got,

1 Great Pyramid of Giza
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
7 Lighthouse of Alexandria
*New*! 8 Skyrim.

Is it that good, and don't call me Shirley.

[DRuM]

It's a good game but there's not enough guns and tanks.

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.

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

cool. in the rar file there is like a bunch of folders wtf? can you tell me which one you used?

wait, you used the auto installer? you should feel bad.

[Don Carlos]

That is impressive - I can see myself buying this today...and then waving goodbye to my life

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

[seremtan]

the fact that he's speaking french just makes it funnier

[Transient]

Brilliant.

[xer0s]

lol

I tried to shoot myself by firing straight up, but it never came back down. Or I didn't wait long enough...

sucks that you cant uncock your bow, still :/

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

[Eraser]

I bet you aren't that disappointed in that you can't uncock something

[GONNAFISTYA]

I was talking to a co-worker about that today and he said nearly everyone has tried to kill that guy.

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

e holsters the arrow! I was excited myself when i accidentally did it. Good thing to have.
Edit:
Wait, I mean r holsters arrow...does for me

[brisk]

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.

[Tsakali]

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!
