Dianadoesitbest Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ooh! Look at how the leaves rustle in that tree! That's sure to make the gameplay so much more enjoyable...Sorry, I had to let that bit of sarcasm out. I'm just still keeping my fingers crossed that this time around Bethesda won't be so caught up in the current trend of game developers to base their products on flashy fps-killing eye-candy covering a mediocre game. Personally, I'd be satisfied with the graphics from Morrowind as long as they give me epic quests and expansive lands and dungeons to explore. I really don't need every detail of the surrounding landscape reflected in high-def ripples in the puddle at my feet to enjoy a game and firmly believe that rendering swaying blades of grass has nothing at all to do with the quality of the game itself. Pretty high-res landscapes do not equal a great game. But I also know all too well that it's a business intent upon turning a profit, so I think it's a safe bet that everything in Skyrim will be surrounded by that glowy HDR aura that's supposed to be so realistic despite the fact that to this day I've never seen anything in real life glow like that...Personally I like that kind of attention to detail.

Herculine Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Personally I like that kind of attention to detail. And that's fine if that's what one feels is most important, but where RPGs are concerned my definition of "attention to detail" focuses on well-written original quests, interesting and believable characters, plenty of options for what the players can do in developing their characters and expansive and entertaining areas to explore. If a game has these things I can live without such minute landscape details that are hardly noticed during actual gameplay anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trandoshan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm guessing my rig isn't cut out for it then? Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHzMemory: 8190MB RAMCard name: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series Display Memory: 4081 MB Dedicated Memory: 1014 MB I just bought my comp for around 2000$ last year. I can't believe that it won't even barely cut it for this game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
