As a PC player, I'm a little disappointed in the graphics. I was hoping for something that gave my GTX 970 a serious run for its money; the Special Edition really just looks like Fallout 4. Maybe not quite as pretty with the textures and whatnot, but close (especially the lighting). And the polygon count is just as low.

Still, it is a big step up from the original game. Lighting, dust, water, snow, clouds (these stood out to me as well), etc. do look a lot better, and everything seems brighter and more vibrant for sure, yeah. Overall it does look a lot nicer, but given the way Bethesda hyped it up I was expecting something crazy.

I guess I shouldn't complain, considering I got the game for free on PC. I also can't believe they didn't fix Blood on the Ice; that's probably the most annoying quest in the game just because of the bugs. Come on, Bethesda! Hopefully they spend more time bugfixing TES VI before it comes out.
