Suggestion: Better shadow settings.

Okay, so let me explain. While I appreciate the simplicity the current setting offers, it's not satisfying. I lose FPS quick when on High, but I'm perfectly fine on Medium. My main issue is that, on Medium, the draw distance is so low that I can see shadows fading in as I'm running, which is troublesome.
My suggestion is that shadows will have two settings: draw distance and quality. Draw distance will set how far away shadows will be visible, and quality will determine how crisp your shadows are. I don't see a reason why this can't be added, and I'd gladly sacrifice crisp shadows for a longer draw distance, much like how you would rather see a low-quality mountain in the distance than no mountain at all.
What do you all think?

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, and how about better AA? The current AA shader is underwhelming at best ...

✭Yes! I had the same irritation between medium and high. The draw distance on medium is awful! I also believe the graphic settings should be split into interior and exterior categories.Edited by SFBryan18 on July 31, 2014 4:16AM2
