ESO is my "relax" game. I play it pretty much solo and I'm quite sure I'm the only one among thousands of players that walk down the roads instead of rush like a maniac and fast travel between waypoints. I play it very casually, mostly for just seeing the whole of Tamriel and read some lore books from all over the world. It's also quite nice not to think about mods for a change and simply explore the many realms in my own pace. Tried some shots with the latest Nvidia Ansel update and really liked this filter which gives the screens a painted feeling. Suits my style of playing this game...with serenity!
Thank you, Patrick...and now you've gotten me curious about your own post to come too!
The painted effect is thanks to a lense/filter option in the Nvidia Ansel tool. It comes with a variety of options and settings - pretty much like the LUT's or the tweaks of an ENB - so the watercolours are only applied to the screenshot. The game itself looks a lot more regular, but I like the "feeling" of old paintings this is giving the world of ESO.
The game itself is pure vanilla, yes. I don't use any Reshade or the like, but all these shots are obviously done with a filter/lense that comes with Nvidia Ansel. I've been wanting to take some screens from this game before, but never really bothered to mod it, since I play it very casually. It's included in the games supported by Nvidia Ansel, so I gave it a go and immediately got interested in this watercolour overlay. It really is a beautiful world well suited for a painterly style (unless you use some powerful Reshade) and I enjoy it a lot for the explorations and discoveries of Tamriel all alone. It's very cool to be able to sail from Summerset Isles to Morrowind, from Hammerfell to Black Marsh and so on. There's even a bit of Skyrim included, mainly the Rift and Eastmarch...
It's actually quite enjoyable in solo for a MMO and I've always been a singleplayer hardcore guy. You just need to ignore people rushing ahead of you as they don't stop and listen to quest givers and such. I'm in ESO mostly for the geography and the history/lore, so to me it's interesting seeing all these places and locations. I've got nine characters, so I'm all over the place - low on levels as usual...
