Is the new Skyrim high texture download worth it?

I personally do not care for it at all, so i overwrote it with my mods and texture packs.

 

also here's a link to the 2k HD pack. this is way better.

ENB is the best visual mod type.

It'll make your game look better than HD textures, and you can get both :)

 

The bloom on the screens that the person above me posted is a little too high for my taste. Don't worry; it's possible to keep the good atmosphere without having that faded look.

Personally I can't stand the vaseline look that many ENB users have. But it's free to choose for those that like it.

Regarding the highres texture pack, it's for sure worth having. Makes default game armor, clothing, weapons, shields look much better and also improves in some other areas. Still lacking a bit though, but I wouldn't run the game without it.

nope its not worth it get the 2k HD pack plus the official DLC is JUNK!!!!! and it wastes space on your hard drive

Off topic: I have that same armor and love it!

 

Anyways. Definitly go for 2k textures instead. Much better imo. Although ENB is also worth giving a spin, although it is a significant performance hit (for me at least). If you can run both at the same time Im sure the results would be phenomenal, but I can't run that with my rig. But I would definitly not recommend Bethesda's texture pack.

We are opposites. I can do without the jagged and coarseness and splintering of the textures. I prefer non-baked-in visuals that are dynamic. Lol, I avoid general texture packs but do like some that I can hand pick, like for water.

 

Edit/PS: Ideally, textures wouldn't be used at all and no visuals would be baked-in. It would all be material shaders and lighting. But that's only something we can do if we're pre-rendering a scene, not for gaming, yet...
