Very pretty. But it's Bethesda. What elite gear do you need to make it look and move like that?
What was elite is now common. The PC version of the SE runs at 60 fps with almost no hiccups for me, and that's from the mechanical hard drive. (It would fit on the SSD, but with only 100 GB free after Windows and serious software, I'm not touching it for gaming. Save games usually end up on the SSD anyway, so it works out well for autosaves.) Drops to 30 fps are extremely rare, and hard to reproduce for settings tweaks. (The launcher decided to crank everything up to high/ultra, so there is room for performance tweaks.) What surprises me the most is the nearly complete lack of streaming hiccups. They're almost as rare as fps drops.
After years on consoles, I'm now overwhelmed with how much I can mess with to make the game look the way I want. On the Xbox, I have no choice but to put up with the excessive green tint in the SE--which I hate. On the PC, not only can I color-correct at the driver level, and mess with the game's config files, but I can also use external software to inject shaders through SMAA. I've spent the better part of 2 days toiling with SweetFX, and last night I finally got it to a look I really like most of the time. It's saturated and sharp. It blooms to yellow rather than pukey green, without making interiors look too red/burgundy. The colors are similar to The Witcher 3's knights DLC (what's it called?) but without the damn green haze.
One cool feature is that the screenshot key produces 2 images, one with the external effects, and one without. Here is one example. I was thinking of posting more, but it would take a while and be overkill, really.
