Graphics

Anyone else wish there were higher graphic settings, not so much due to the lack of decent graphics in the game but because you have everything on ultra and you're still sitting at 80+ fps.

    You want Super-Ultra so you can see what more clearly while hoping to slow your system down some?

    If this game had snipers, and needed a longer/better draw distance I might jump on this, but I'm not seeing where better resolution would make the game that much better for players.

    Not arguing for the sake of being a butthead. I want to have a much as I can grab, but if you stand next to a wall now and sight down it at the 2-D layered textures - wouldn't every texture that stands off the surface need to be completely repixelated?

    I'm not an expert, but from the graphics I've seen on a few consoles (and the fact that we pc players are betatesting the console code....), I'd think the devs were thinking in the other direction right now.

    Just my wacky opinion.

    YES! I'd also like to be able to see more than 1 other player character in focus. Why does it blur everyone???

    I can see farther in this game than I can see in RL on most days... So, yeah, its really plenty.

    Seriously... go outside on a hot sunny humid day and tell me just how far you can see everything in perfect focus.

    I would like better distant view, highest mountains...When you are in Ivarstead...and you see the mountains surrounding High Hrothgar you just dont understand...but well it seems is another of this mmorpg limitations.

    Lacks a lot about content while talking about graphics. They are really good, sometimes are fantastic, but the environments are just empty, small and with a very low distant LOD.

    This is a setting, I believe. I can't recall what it's called without the game open (it's still down for patching at the time of this post), but there's an option that is described as "causes distant objects to appear out of focus" or something to that effect. Detoggle it. Problem solved!

    I'm not saying I want them to scrap everything and start over. It would have just been nice from the start if they had more detail is all.

    You aren't quite getting what I'm asking. I don't want to see all the way across Tamriel and have it be perfectly in focus. What I'm talking about is seeing notches in my heavy armor where a sword it it in a previous fight. Riding my horse and seeing the hairs of it's mane move about. Details, I think it would be fantastic to have high resolution omg I can see that guys nose hairs detail. No don't scrap the game because of this. It would just be nice to have a game plan for that and not dumb down the system for consoles and PC's that are running windows 95.

    I believe you can legally use an ENB with ESO.

    I messed with that. It did work for the distant objects but standing in line at the bank everyone was still blurry.

    I'll check the settings again though. Maybe I missed something. Thanks!

    ZoS has already said they're working on an even higher quality graphics setting than what we have now, but that's likely low on their priority list atm.

    I saw this and read it as "better lightning" and instantly thought YES. Lightning that you saw arc in the clouds and would some times hit the ground. Randomly you could be struck by lightning while running around in the rain. Not killing you but say stunning you for a few seconds to make it mean something. Not affecting players in combat of course.

    OK. I'll give you an agree here. I'm sorry I lacked the insight the first read through.

    Except maybe for that whole 'nose hair' thing.
    Can we dial that one back a little?
    kthnxbai.
