Looks like high resolution PC textures was a lie. Options

Example 1
Example 2

(Screens taken on max settings, not by me, though)

Seriously? That looks exactly the same as Fallout 3's texture resolution (alongside Bethesda's typical inane texturing philosophies). What happened to the high-res textures the PC users were promised?

I sure do hope this is a bug. Otherwise it is yet another promise Bethesda broke.

Modders are already coming through in droves to get Skyrim's textures upgraded to PC standards. Skyrim usually does not eclipse 512X for its texture resolutions (only the body textures are high-res, I think, at 2048X). New texture replacers in mid-res (1024X) and high-res (2048X) are popping up daily on Skyrim Nexus, so if you have some GPU resources to burn, take a look into picking a few up. There's a lot of winners out there, and a good deal of the modders are really doing a good job at sticking true to the game's art style.
