It is the real base off my preset and I asked him for permission and kindly gave me his approvals! So all Credit goes to him encouraging me. I only tweaked his Preset to my liking and dabled with the shaders.

Question
I would like to know your expiriences with the Presets. Like is the less dark version less dark enough? Or maybe someone wants a high qualityversion for his strong hardware ( I experimented with Ambient Occlusion but it has a very strong impact on the framerate). So please share your thoughts in the commentsection.


Update
Added Version 1.1
Added an even brighter Version, than the Less Dark Version
Added Experimantel Version with HBAO (looks good but costs a lot off fps, real strong machine adviced)


Changlog
1.1
Tweaked Dof, Switched to another Lens Flare, Added two more Presets with less darkness (only a small margin)
1.0

The History


I played all Dragon Age Games and Skyrim. And I love Dragon Age Inquisition, but something bothered me since the first minute playing. The lightingconditions and the washed out look. Coming to Stormcoast I couldn't belive what my eyes were seeing. Stormcoast? Really? Rain on a sunny day.
I hoped the other areas are darker and there are shadows to hide my Rogue. Then I proceeded to Crestwood and it hit me with all might. This foggy, grey something should be a thunderstorm? No way!

Than Brandonhortman published his Screenarcher Preset. By using it, i thought of a way to bring out the Storm and to maybe cast dark shadows for hiding.

So here it is my vision of the thunderstorm in Crestwood.



What does my Preset do exactly?

I love strong Contrasts and I love black and realy dark shadows. Evil always lurks in the shadows and darkness. So I played a little bit with the configuration. This is what i came up with.



Speaking to Cassandra



A Word of Warning!!


Sadly there is a catch. Some interiors are realy dark, so this preset is for people that find their prey even on new moon =)
Others can raise the gamma, but that works against the effect.


If you can't bare with this, the preset is nothing for you!!




What this Preset brings with it?

DPX, FilmicPass-Shader,Bloom, Lensflare, Sharpening, Smaa and little DOF (It's hardly noticeable, cause I don't like to much blur)

 
Known Issues
At the Moment the DOF blures parts of the HUD. Nothing can be done in the Moment, so parts of the journal may be blurry.
