same arguments. let's not overdo it. somebody else made a mistake. It isn't the hardware in my machine.............blah, blah, blah.
If you're trying to defend Skyrim's engine, that's ridiculous. The texture resolutions are, on average with the HD DLC, 1024x1024. The shadows are unfiltered. Most of the HDR was cut. The meshes use the decade old outdated .nif format that no modern meshing software even supports without old libraries. Other games that use the same assets only recommend 768MB cards. If you made any graphics mods for it, as I have, you'd know that it's not a high-spec game, it's simply inefficient and on a poor engine.
