Just a quick list of the settings I use for the Nvidia Freestyle graphics filter you can use as a base for your own look.

It's a lower performance hit than ReShade for almost the same looks.

I don't see Freestyle mentioned very often regarding ESO. So I thought I'd share my settings.

Setting up Freestyle is simple, it comes with Nvida GeForce Experience, web search for a guide if you're unfamiliar.

Disclaimer: I play in a totally dark room so my brightness settings will be lower than most people's.
And every monitor I've ever owned is different, so adjust settings to suit your taste.

BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST:
Exposure: 0%
Contrast: 25%
Highlights: 25%
Shadows: 25%
Gamma: 25%

COLOR:
Tint Color: 35%
Tint Intensity: 25%
Temperature: 0.5
Vibrance: 100

PAINTERLY: (Very subtle settings makes plants and foliage look better imo)
Iterations: 1
Sample Directions: 8
Radius: 1
Edge Sharpness: 5%-10%

DETAILS:
Sharpen: 25%
Clarity: 75%
HDR Toning: -50% (Negative not Positive)
Bloom: 10%

I recommend using Hook64, the Daybreak mod found on Nexusmods.com, and Votan's Darker Nights for best results.
Hook64 and Darker Nights will require adjustments by the user for best results, the out of the box settings aren't great.

Hope you enjoy.

    This is from last year, pumping the vibrance and the details up is doing wonders

    Cool! I actually saw your video back when I as trying to find a good graphics enhancer. It's what got me to try Freestyle in the first place. Thanks for uploading that. I was too lazy to record my own :P

    I refuse to install more than the Drivers and Physix.

    I don't like ReShade I don't like FreeStyle, I'm very happy with SweetFX just 2mb and I like how it looks.
