Ugly blocky shadows on characters and NPC's

[NexusComa]

This is my SkyrimPrefs.ini ... no shadows are seen in game.

It's wonderful and a huge boost to FPS ...

I used to have them completely off, & somehow they came back. Sorry, but the implementation of shadows for this game kinda sucks, & I'd rather have them completely gone than have to deal with them.

How do you get rid of them completely? None of the mods or .ini tweaks make it playable. The weird thing is, I NEVER noticed them until I decided to reinstall and play this time.
