Bullshit. There's a big difference between accounting for the amount of objects in a dyncamic, open-world game and in a cinematic game where everything is stationary and pre-determined for the most part. 

And no, Skyrim with the best mods available does have better lighting and textures. Neither Infamous nor Ryse can manage 2K or 4K textures the way a modded Skyrim does.

And ENB lighting >>>> Infamous. 

I'm not going to argue this with you though. If you played Skyrim on a powerful PC with a 4K monitor, you wouldn't be saying what you are.

I liked how you used the word "cinematic" rather than "linear" because you self defeated your point that linear games aren't just as dynamic ...

@Bold No it doesn't ... Skyrim's lighting doesn't even account for energy conservation like infamous or ryse and the materials don't even react properly to the lighting either. 

Textures are another thing altogether but making objects look good requires more than high resolution textures and neither infamous nor ryse are behind a modded skyrim in this department plus Skyrim lacks material layering compared to infamous or ryse.

Skyrim's lighting is straight up shit and the reason why your not going to argue with me is because you have no actual arguments so go get your eyes checked before you say more ignorant things

You yourself said that Infamous has better textures, when it clearly doesn't. Now you're saying that textures are another thing altogether? OK.

And you're completely wrong on the lighting, period. There are so many mods that make use of reflections and lighting so that all of it is seamless in the environment. If you think that some of the best ENBs combined with more realistic lighting mods "look like shit", then you obviously have not played Skyrim in its full glory. On a 4K monitor, ENB, realistic lighting mods, the game looks fantastic in ways that Infamous and Ryse cannot compare.

And yes, I said cinematic games, not linear. I said this because the prettiest games are all cinematic linear games (other than Infamous SS, which has tons of difficulty rendering energy-based lighting when a player is not directly looking at objects, resulting in annoying pop-ins. Not to mention that Sony utilised low-quality textures in order to acheive the lighting and reflections.).

And another thing that you seem to convinently forget is that Second Son runs at 30fps, compared to the 60fps+ Skyrim can run, even with mods, which provides a much more stable experience overall.

Like I said, you can't compare Skyrim w/ mods and Second Son. Second Son is locked to 1080p @ 30fps, while Skyrim can go up to 4K @ 120fps, with MUCH better textures and amazing lighting, especially considering it's a last-gen game.
