iCEnhancer releases some early Skyrim modification screenshots

Everyone's favorite GTA IV mod takes on Tamriel

If you haven't seen screenshots or video from the Grand Theft Auto IV version of iCEnhancer, I'd highly recommend you go do that right now. iCEnhancer is a graphics mod run by the talented Hayssam Keilany, and it seems like while we're waiting for Keilany to release the final GTA IV iCEnhancer v. 2.1 he's been trying some things out in Skyrim. Today he released a handful of fairly decent quality, and I wanted to share them just in case he really gets into a full-fledged iCEnhancer for the title.

Should Keilany dedicate himself to a full iCEnhancer package for Skryim, which I don't believe he has dont yet, he faces some stiff competition. ENBSeries, a mod run by Boris Vorontsov, is a much more dedicated project with months of work put into Skyrim. Of course, they have different outlooks on the modification process, as Keilany seems to prefer much more light and color vs. Vorontsov's grittier work.

I wanted to note straight away that Keilany modded Skyrim's faces very quickly, dismissing the in-the-box faces as "ugly." While color, lighting and brightness I can understand, I've always respected Skyrim's willingness to have ugly characters. Of course, they may not make the best screenshots. Or, Keilany just has some ulterior motives that involve more skin in his modifcations. Anyways, the terrain screenshots look very nice.

Not really seeing why he'd get into this. As mentioned, there's already ENB, which does a good enough job, and you can tweak it. There's HD texture mods, and from the screenshots it looks like he's using a female face mod, hair mod, and a couple clothing mods.

Here's an example of ENB without any tweaks w/ mods for faces, hair, outfits, and weapons.

Magical gallery of projects based on ENB, keep in mind some of these will absolutely decimate your framerate as well >> at least they give fair warning in their pages about it.

Also helps to note it's the other way around for credit, Boris was the creator for ENB series and projects / mods are based off of his work. When Boris updates the features and functions of ENB all the other presets / mods update their releases to reflect the new changes, the news itself above is a bit misleading to that fact.

^ This makes no sense. Keilany uses ENBSeries as the basis for iCEnhancer and he's well aware of it's existence or he wouldn't be in the scene. ENBSeries is the foundation for this and all the presets I linked to and those which you'll find through Nexus Mods as well

no need to cover up the reality of the situation. Boris focuses on improving functions and features for each game not spending years to tweak the config files (that's what the community is there to do). One can't help but feel there's an obvious slant to promote Keilany onto a pedestal given the approach taken. Either way it's poorly researched.

Even worse is that iCEnhancer's own community recognizes he's just using ENB. loooool

I think their both good. The newest one does good with both Character and Landscape. It looks real. For Skyrims setting he should darken the game to see what it's like. Also the characters should be gritty too. Its more like medieval times and they never had fancy faces back then. ENB is good but it still looks almost the same as when it was released but just amped up a bit.

You realize that Boris / ENB is what iCEnhancer is branched from / what makes iCEnhancer even possible? If you want to see what people have doing for months before iCEnhancer then look at the enbdev forums

Sad to see so much misinformation running around.
