I'll explain my specific darkness troubles further down, but suffice it for now that even with a torch out, or casting candlelight, I can't see everything in a mid-sized room, so why in the hell did I go through the trouble of installing upgraded textures? Is the only time things are supposed to be decent looking (I'm avoiding the loaded word "pretty" here) when I'm outside at high noon on a fully sunny day? Cause that's stupid. But if I've gone through the trouble of installing upgraded textures for enemies, dungeons, interiors, rocks, coffins, jugs, cobwebs, water, dungeon clutter, what-have-you, shouldn't I - oh I don't know - actually want to SEE it? Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the concept of wanting nights to be darker than twilight in a walmart parking lot. DARKNESS - The debate between realism/immersion and fantasy/vibrancy and playability aside, the biggest gripe I have is with every ENB being tweaked for one or the other lighting overhaul, or simply tweaking the lighting aspects within the ENB itself. So I'm going to rant for a bit, and hope that the kind folks in here can help me out (in a relatively non-condescending way) and maybe lend me a hand in fixing what I either don't understand or simply don't like.
But I'm still baffled by some concepts - various fascinations - and included effects - that seem to defy my understanding, and ability to fix. I use MO, always start over with a new fresh save each time I test a new preset, completely wipe the old preset files and rebuild the enblocal each time - just to be sure I'm starting from scratch.
Now let me say I can get the various ENBs up and running. I've been playing it off and on for the last few weeks while waiting for the expansions in FO4 to drop, and after wiping and reinstalling, figured I'd try once again to reinstall an ENB and see if I could fix it up how I liked. Nothing near top of the line, but more than enough for skyrim, and I've been able to run it successfully for years, playing with many different options and variants (such as trying out tropical for a while just for the change). I don't always understand everything discussed, since I'm more of a casual player/tweaker, but I've learned enough to be dangerous to myself which I guess is good enough. First off, let me say that I've been a lurker for years and the step community (and the guides on here and elsewhere) are amazing at getting things up and running.
