How much can you change Skyrim before it just isn't the same game any more? I think we're pushing that limit with mods, as this video from JustinJNB shows.
Justin is showing off the differences between "vanilla" Skyrim and a Skyrim modded within an inch of its life. The modded version is certainly more lush and attractive, but does it keep the same character? Does it still feel like the same place? The one thing that strikes me is that there's definitely too much bloom going on, washing out the realistic bright blue skies and green trees of Skyrim for a a paler experience.
