Short answer: A lot and various mods I don't remember. :|

But I highly recommend using the easy to install Morrowind Overhaul, Connary's texturepack and MGE XE. :) It will result in a similar looking Morrowind.
Awesome, thanks! I'm planning on playing through Morrowind for the 50th time or so before Skyrim comes out.

AC2 during Carnivale or whatever it is. Post some firebreathers.

This is an investment I'm about to make. I'm not going to pick a specific scene or spot, I'm going to crawl inside a game and scrape around for a month or two, then come out covered in goo with ~10,000 screens.

This isn't a decision to be taken lightly!
 
I know it is a screenshot thread, but I don't know a more appropriate thread to ask this question considering you guys seem to have the eyes to notice extreme details.

Can some of you tell me their opinions regarding those videos I've just uploaded on youtube ?
These videos were uploaded using Xvid MPEG4 encoder (virtual dub) weighting 3.09g and 879mb respectively. Turns out Youtube downgraded the IQ drastically. Nevertheless, the quality is still good for the most part. This is Crysis 2 intro + first level. These videos were recorded using Ultra (max) setting, 1080p, hi resolution texture pack as well as DX11 patch. I locked the framerate to 30fps because that's all youtube can handle. I am working on x264 codec adjustment right now so that I can upload videos of similar quality, but with reduced weight.

Specs are in video description.

Part 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmN9_3oY1-Y&
Part 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9PRluhJrV4&

For some reasons, part 2 seems better, even though it's exactly the same encoding.


My question : Do you think the quality is acceptable ? It feels like youtube introduced a shit load of artifact and macro blocking on dark scenes. Any possible way I can improve that ? Like I said, these videos were hardly compressed.
 
Not that this is the right thread for it, of course its generations ahead when you can buy a full console for the price of a mid to high range graphics card.

No this isn't the right thread for it, so kindly fuck off and troll somewhere else.

By Youtube standards it looks pretty damn good. That said, I still am interested in seeing if using x264 before uploading helps at all.

People should lower standards a bit before they watch a vid on Youtube and if you are showing this to people who are gonna be real anal, then upload the actual video file. Those look like sex after Youtube.

The first new mod I've played on Black Ops. Nova Six is what it's called. Your suit breaks, you die. You get a hole in your suit, your vision goes all over the place. Awesome stuff.

More DOOM 3.

Incredible game. The only thing I didn't like about Sikkmod was that it totally rebalances the game (damage/health/ammo values) to make it more challenging. While this may be appealing to veterans, as a newcomer I found it daunting. Thankfully Sikkmod comes with its own options menu to adjust not only graphics, but also tons of gameplay variables like max player health, enemy health scaling, random encounters, and the option to have a dynamic HUD which fades when you aren't shooting (good for screenshots).
