I just thought these changes to Fallout 3 were pretty remarkable and, as the article points out, shows the power of mods.

You can mod any of Bethesda's games regardless of Steam, GG. It should be noted that the above pictures involve at least 3 or 4 mods, and not just 1 all-encompassing mod.

Your right I already use the Texture mod and other lighting mods with this. It looks good but remember make sure you have a good system as it will slow down the game otherwise.

Impressive but I would rather prefer them to attempt and overcome at this game.

So, what are mods are used? The article mentions ENB, but there are several ENB mods. I want to break out FO3 and New Vegas again. So, i would like to try out these mods.

The guy who posted these screens runs a website called Dead End Thrills, and I think he will be posting a complete mod list there.

So far, he provided some .ini settings and mentioned a couple of the mods he is using. ENB, as well as Project Beauty and Fallout Retextured. I gather it is ENB version .115 FNV Beta. If you have a flickr account, perhaps you can ask him for more details.

Is this a big improvement over the original? I find it hard to appreciate improvements to desolation.

You could always make it more desolate. I'd like that.

pibbur who fears this maybe says more about him than about ... something completely different.
 
I don't know - the world of Fallout IS desolate, and making it too beautiful may conflict with my perception of it. This is also the reason I did not install the Morrowind Overhaul, in my eyes Vvardenfell is a barren place, dominated by the effects of the Red Mountain, the overhaul makes it far too lush.

The Fallout modification is impressive, however, and I will most likely try it.

I agree. The graphics in F3 are good for the atmosphere of the game (though a bit too much green for my taste). Some games are just better with their own graphics and besides Morrowind, Stalker also comes to mind.

While I agree the overhaul mod does make it too lush in some areas, Morrowind has not aged well imo. Personally, I don't think I could play it now without some kind of visual upgrade.

@zakhal - Yes.
