Great news for Skyrim fans, as the first Texture Pack for Bethesda’s RPG has just been released. According to the modder, almost all textures have been enhanced and are 4X the size of the original ones. As with most Texture Packs, some might like it while others might not. To be honest though, it seems that bythemark (thanks for the correction MOFISTO) has tweaked the original textures instead of replacing them with some brand, new HD ones. The end result is great in our own opinion and you can find the download link, as well as some comparison shots, after the jump.

Remember that 20 minutes video that was removed due to Bethesda’s copyrights? Well, we can finally post a new one – since there isn’t any embargo right now – in all its glory. This is PC footage with Ultra settings at 1920×1200 resolution. This is as good as it get’s and as we can see, Skyrim uses more than 1GB of vRam with the aforementioned settings.

So, Skyrim is out now and you can expect lots of news and tweaks about it. This weekend, we’ll discuss about our most anticipated mods that might get released in the following days. But for now, let’s see how you can enable ambient occlusion. Contrary to some games, Skyrim doesn’t provide any in-game option to enable it. Thankfully though, we can use the compatibility bit of Fallout 3/New Vegas to force it via Nvidia’s Inspector Tool. Oh, and in case you didn’t catch it, this is another hint that Skyrim’s engine is basically an upgraded version of Gamebryo.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to as Nvidia’s Andrew revealed that the company has tested Bethesda’s upcoming baby and found out some issues with it when 3D Vision was enabled.

Oh boy, I still remember all those poor PC gamers that were blaming and cursing EA and THQ for the leaked PC versions of Battlefield 3 and Saints Row: The Third. The good thing – if you can call it a good thing – was that those pirated versions were not fully playable before their official release. In the land of consoles however, things are a bit different. And we can report at this point that the X360 version of the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been leaked to various torrent sites.

And although we do know that the game will support mods – thus will achieve higher levels of image fidelity due to texture packs and mods, Pete Hines has stated that the vanilla PC version is impressive and great looking.
