Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has emerged as a nostalgic homage to The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, evoking the essence of medieval exploration with an almost magical touch. The game’s lush, rolling landscapes and its delightfully eccentric NPC behaviors create an experience reminiscent of wandering through Cyrodiil, a stark contrast to the more modern offerings from Bethesda in recent years.
Ultra Low Graphics Mode Mod
Enhancing this experience is the newly released Ultra Low Graphics Mode mod, crafted by the talented Jindra1403. This innovative mod delves deep beneath the standard low graphics settings of the RPG, compressing nearly two decades of graphical evolution into a quirky array of lumpy polygons. The result is a unique visual style that pays homage to the early days of gaming.
While the mod successfully captures the charm of yesteryear, it also highlights some disparities. Urban settings like Kuttenberg may appear texturally sparse when compared to the vibrant towns of Oblivion, and the NPCs often resemble characters from early 2000s MMOs rather than the richly designed inhabitants of Bethesda’s world. This raises an intriguing desire among players: a mod that could transform KCD2 into a mirror image of Oblivion itself. Imagine moon-faced NPCs, landscapes that dynamically render as you traverse them, engaging zoom-in conversations, and an abundance of bloom effects. To top it all off, incorporating Jeremy Soule’s enchanting soundtrack would complete the nostalgic journey. Perhaps, revisiting Oblivion might be the simplest solution for those yearning for that classic feel.
For those interested in experimenting, the mod can be downloaded directly from the modding community. Jindra has also provided the option to modify the settings via Notepad, allowing users to adjust the graphics to their liking. For players seeking a balance between performance and the original aesthetic of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Jindra has thoughtfully created a very low graphics mod that retains the game’s intended look while enhancing performance.
