I am surprised at how this game looks.

Oh this is hot... Is it wrong that I find a game hot? As in "arousing"? I should go out more, sheesh...

Just a few Skyrim pics I took today.

Night Shot

 

I am pleased with how the game looks right now on my laptop. I find it quite impressive.

^Those shots are indeed amazing, very good DOF and textures, but the night shot has a bit too much bloom on it. What ENB setting are you using?

I want to say Cinematic Lighting ENB.

I have a customizer, so I can always go back in and customize it and lower the bloom. I haven't messed around too much with the night time effects other than lowering the Sun Rays (Moon was shining through mountains). I messed with daytime a lot though.

Those day time pictures are a bit dark though as you might notice. That is because it was a cloudy with thunder and lightning. I am using Climates of Tamriel.

I have ~45 mods running at once.

I also intentionally made my nights darker and somewhat exaggerated the lighting. My dungeons are also much darker than normal. This is because I use a lantern mod where a lantern is attached to my belt at all times.

I like not seeing much unless I have some sort of lighting. Of course I don't make it dark enough that I can't see anything. Nights are never THAT dark. It helps I also use CLARALUX mod which places road lanterns on all the roadways in Skyrim.

That night time shot appears very dark outside of the lighted areas because I am looking directly at the light, so that of course makes everything other than the light appear very dark, sort of like how it appears darker in your home when you walk out of a well lit room and into the darkness unless your pupils dilate. My game changes focus in the same way.

This game is 1000x better once it's modded. I am so absorbed with it right now.

You're using Climates of Tamriel with ENB? It's still pretty buggy in some spots last I've heard. I prefer Realistic Lightning and Weather myself, it's much more compatible and customizable. 

I agree with you, Skyrim is a whole new game when modded. 

I'm holding on till I can get my new right before I jump back on Skyrim. Sadly that will probably take a lot longer than I originally thought of, so I'm just bidding my time playing Titan Quest for the 1000000000000 time . 

Gotta try Oblivion on this laptop though, see if it can finally run Qarls full texture pack and maxed Detailed Landscape mod.
