About this mod
"What? ENB for The Witcher 2? Blasphemy! The game already looks amazing!" Well, I'd disagree. Each to their own. Requiem ENB has it's own tweaked home-made Bloom effects, better AA, and a much more natural color pallete/scheme for better visuals.

DESCRIPTION~
This ENB was created to enhance the overall visuals of The Witcher 2. Yes, the game do sometimes looks amazing at max. However, there are some flaws that I wasn't fond of, so I decided to create this. This ENB is aimed to make a combination of Fantasy and Reality, with a touch of Cinematic experience. There is no where this ENB preset is near "Realistic", more of a "Fantasy-reality" feel to it. Oh and was that enough for a description? Well, let's move on shall we?
+ Better Anti-Aliasing, utilizing SweetFX's LumaSharpen to further improve in-game's AA.
+ Removed color palletes/tints from certain places/time.
+ Enhanced and tweaked contrast, vibrancy and saturation.
+ Better and natural lighting.
+ Improved interior lighting.
+ Tweaked for a better and natural color scheme.
+ All new, handcrafted and tweaked Bloom settings that replaces in-game default Bloom.
+ Lens flare.
+ Sharper and softer texture look.
+ Fantasy-reality look.

4- Found that [ The Witcher 2 > bin ] folder path yet? Done? Good. Now copy and paste all the files from Requiem ENB into [ The Witcher 2 > bin ].
5- Launch TW2's launcher. MAKE SURE ANTI-ALIASING IS ON. VIGNETTE IS ON. AND UBERSAMPLING IS OFF. Failure to do said instruction will cause the ENB fail to work properly.

+ISSUES :(
- Distance fog colors conflicts with water shader/color. This will cause the water to look weird at certain distances...or maybe that's how it's supposed to look like?
