Thoughts on Skyrim, DX11, Texturemods and UI.

Hey Folks

 

About Skyrim:

Well,... I think almost everything has been said about the game in the last 2 weeks. Almost 90h played. It says a lot about the quality of the game for me, because if you are a gamer, you are used to a certain quality level, or at least, you are looking out for it. Also, maybe the older you get, the harder it gets to immerse into a fictional World. It just feels so good to wander on the mountains at night, while the snow gets carried off the Rocks and the sweet-bitterness of being lonely is your only company...

 

DX11:

Without bringing up the Topic again, about the xbox being the Leadplattform and its port over to the PC, it was of course a Business decision not to implement DX11 "yet" for a few reasons which are obvious I guess. The majority of Gamers don't have Videocards that support DX11 etc. On the other hand, Bethesda could have made Skyrim into a DX11 Flagship and sell ATI/NVIDIA Bundles for example, but again - I don't want to sound precociously. With all its castle walls, cobblestones, rocks and so on, it's a perfect figurehead.

 

Textures and its Mods:

I do have the utmost respect for those skilled people out there putting a lot of work into Mods that re-texture parts of the game. I think that a few Textures really do look bad in the Game. There are people out there that don't look at this critical or don't feel that better Textures are necessary, but I do. That game absolutely deserves a higher quality. Now the Point is that it's a thin line between aesthetic, higher quality and a gray-green-brown mass that is too intangible for the Eye to be enjoyable. In my humble opinion, this is a problem for a lot of AAA games, aiming for realism. With that in mind, it's still a bit of a let down from Bethesda and a High-res. Texture-pack from Beth. is wishful thinking I guess.

 

The UI:

This little Post wouldn't be complete if the UI hasn't been mentioned, right?

Its seems to be the biggest flaw in the Game to date. It needs to be overhauled and I was in the mood mentioning it.

 

Thank you for reading to this point.

Please excuse me if terms are oddly placed, English is not my first language.

 

cheers
