About this mod

A proper artistic and realistic visual overhaul of the game visuals.
Much crisp, sharp and detailed textures!!
Cinematic shadows, color and lighting!!!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
The most beautiful and closer to realism Dishonored 2 visuals yet!
I've tried mimicking ray tracing like lighting 'glows' and ambient occlusion.
You get balanced lighting and shadows which enhances the realistic look of the game.
While maintaining the natural artistic appeal of the original game.

Amazing shadows, lights and texture!
You get much life like visuals and a cinematic look!

Had to suppress brightness and highlights a lot to balance the shadows and midtones!

IMPORTANT NOTE: 
- Keep in-game brightness settings to 16.
- Keep TXAA Sharpening to 3. 
- Keep monitor brightness to maximum.
- Will be best if settings are kept on Ultra.
- HBAO must be On. (Found under Visual Settings -> Advance).
- To tweak the colors, feel free to play with 'yellow saturation' and 'green saturation' sliders
found under the "lightroom.fx" (qUINT Lightroom) settings in the ReShade Home tab.

Basic ReShade preset procedure, nothing extra.

Installation of Reshade
(For first timers) :
- Download and install ReShade ( https://reshade.me/ )
- Choose the game from reshade menu or manually locate the game's exe file.
- Choose 'DirectX 10/11/12' option if you've located the game file manually.
- Select to download all reshade effects from installation tab and proceed with installation.
- Download and extract this reshade preset file (dis2.ini).
- Copy and paste the preset file to your game's playable "exe" file location. (The same location will also have a folder named 'reshade shaders', if you're doing it right! Don't paste the preset file inside the reshade folder though.)
- Run your game normally, reshade will load and cache shaders for some time.
- Press HOME key to bring up reshade tab, and on top of the reshade home tab, select the Dis2 from the preset list.
- Enjoy!
