spinspider Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Every time someone makes textures for Skyrim's architecture that make it look more pretty and clean, people always complain about them making everything look too... pretty and clean. Why?! Honestly, I enjoy the look of pretty and clean much more than crumbling and grungy. I think it makes a lot more sense, too. Go and see some of the old castles in Europe someday. I highly recommend those in any of the Scandinavian countries, upon which TES's Nord culture is largely based. Most are many centuries old... and some are even older than that. Yet they remain in absolutely beautiful condition, because people CARE about them! Over the centuries, they've been carefully preserved, repaired when needed, and rigorously maintained. Thus they are still standing strong today, and the sight of them is still breathtakingly magnificent.Therefore there's no reason why Skyrim's historical buildings (that have not been abandoned) should be all ruined and dumpy looking. Especially since the Nord's history and the legacy of their ancestors seems to be extremely important to them. Therefore, I don't see why they'd neglect their old buildings. Logically, would they not want to do their best to preserve them?! Prettifying textures for the win. <3 Edited August 8, 2013 by Lehcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modder3434 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 well, i don' mind nice textures that make occupied places look maintained. however even maintained buildings get dirty or weathered. So when i see textures that make everything look squeaky clean breaks immersion for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick827 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Clean textures tend to look like smooth plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
