    Fun fact! The game's old engine, while rendering the game absolutely beautifully at the character scale, was absolute garbage when it came to scaling. On a whim I decided to turn down every single setting to the absolute lowest.





    It was impressively bad. These are completely unaltered, by the way.

    I actually had to play 1.0 on the absolute lowest settings because I was playing on a laptop (this was a time when I did not have a proper PC and hadn't built my current rig). It was a blurry, pixelated mess and I could barely tell what I was looking at half the time. I'm glad I only played for a month or so before I gave up on that headache.

    I miss this and materials not being a smoothed washed out surface. Neutral mobs would walk over and stare at you doing whatever you were doing.

    That isn't really anything related to the engine. You changed the setting controlling the internal frame buffer to the lowest. Meanwhile many players were turning it up to so the game was rendering 1920x1080 at 3840x2160 (4K) and complained the game ran poorly, several even tried to throw AA on top of it. Barely anyone playing with it had any idea what it did, 99% of games don't even expose it to be changed.
