Pano 12 shots, using Image Composite Editor.

That little scene is so gorgeous. Screenshots can't do it justice.

Absolutely. Yesterday I took almost the same shots as you posted (albeit with lower res):

This is without a lighting mod and with heavily tweaked RGB balance through vibrance/tonemapping. Lighting mods seem to be better to get rid of the overly saturated green in the overall image, as further rebalancing the colors makes other things start to look like crap like the clouds in the sky or the UI.

It's so funny when male video game artists try to do female faces. Why do they put on so much mascara and eyeliner that she looks like a trashy Texas beauty queen going to a club? Completely inappropriate for the game and art style.

well her whole appearance is more or less makeup, like the other sorceresses that are all old women.

Man PC gaming truly is godly. I need to hitch a ride on this train. Why compromise?

 

[Pakoe]

I really hope they release a full Forza game the next time.

It is perfectly appropriate for this character, why so agressive and presumptuous if you don't know anything about the lore of that universe?

I've also killed the in-game bloom. Sometimes I like it on, sometimes I hate it. I'm never quite happy with a single solution in Blood and Wine. Sadly, trying to get some bloom back in ReShade kills the FPS.

love this game

I've told you this a while ago but it remains true: The best looking skyrim screens are all your uploads.

Didn't like how it looked from official screens, but playing it I think I like it better than W3 locations. I guess I'd rather see bad LOD than have it hidden by fog.

I doubt humans will survive until a day where we see almost universal satisfaction in which people are satisfied by how females and minorities look in video games.
If it's a female, something's too objectifying.
If it's a minority, it's too stereotypical.

Trying out some portrait orientations

Is the first shot of a Hanse base? Can't put my finger on which location that is.

I'm thinking it is. I loved that location. Just wandering around and suddenly there's a huge hole in the ground. And there are people in it. Trying to find a way in without falling to my death was fun.

That's what it's like playing blind with no minimap

Some foliage porn:

I promise that is the last generic portrait shot of Geralt in bear armor that I'll post. I basically just capture these and archive them away for whenever I want to show off the character models or materials of a game.

'Cause they gotta look hawt at all times, any excuse is good for it.

Actually no. Believe it or not, it's not that hard to do right.

In writing everything is a excuse for everything, since that's simply how things work, but at least here we can be glad that good writers can both come up with good excuses or transform bad excuses into good ones .

Hopefully AAA games will stop being marketed towards young straight male audiences one day.

From what little I know of the Witcher books, sorceresses are made to look pretty because their profession demands it.

Unlike priestesses and druidesses, who only unwillingly took ugly or crippled girls, sorcerers took anyone who showed evidence of a predisposition. If the child passed the first years of training, magic entered into the equation - straightening and evening out legs, repairing bones which had badly knitted, patching harelips, removing scars, birthmarks and pox scars. The young sorceress would become attractive because the prestige of her profession demanded it.

So stop hating on the game for following the source material.

Says in the title, ALOT texture mods compilation. Saying that it's good is a bit of a stretch but it has its moments and looks better than vanilla in general.

Yup, Yennefer used to be a hunchback before she became a sorceress for example. The lines after the passage you quoted are interesting too.

The result was pseudo-pretty women with the angry and cold eyes of ugly girls. Girls who couldn't forget their ugliness had been covered by the mask of magic only for the prestige of their profession.

probably: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect2/mods/68/?

Otherwise look for Jean Luc's textures.

After later coming back to this tab I thought I'd accidentally clicked a wrong thread in OT for a moment. The graphics honestly fooled me.
