Needless to say, this does little to discourage most 'power-players' - those who want the most out of their character build - from deciding early on how they wish to develop their character, and sticking with it. Thanks to the revamped leveling system in The Elder Scrolls 5 - Skyrim, you're more or less free from the stigma of creating and sticking with a certain class, and are left free to make decisions on your play style(s) as you progress throughout the game.

If you like this piece, you can check out this article and all the other one's I've written about Skyrim on my website. So, is this really just an eye-adjustment simulation (Skyrim is epic!) or a glitch? If it is a glitch, are there any good ways to fix it? Google was most uncooperative, though it may just be that I'm a bit rusty at digging out information like this.All, wrote up this piece over the weekend - having a blast playing through Skyrim with it. This is comparable to the real world effect of coming into a dark room from the sunlight and having things come into view as your eyes adjust.

Things then proceed to get brighter and come into view. I've noticed that when looking from a bright area to a dark area, for instance, when looking from the candle-lit area around a dining table to the shelves around the back, the area is horribly dark and things are barely visible. Now that you have the background, on to the real issue. The game is very playable for the most part. I've also reduced the resolution to 1280 x 720. Furthermore, I've turned off Anisotropic Filtering and Antialiasing.

I've got no mods installed and I have set the graphics to medium. This is quite on the low end, I should think. I've been ignoring such issues assuming them to be due to using a Laptop with 4GB RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon 5000 series card and an Intel Core i5 2.40 GHz dual core. While playing Skyrim, I've noticed many problems with shadows, for instance, sometimes, a shadow will form strips instead of a solid area on shadowed surfaces.
