Yes, along with today’s release of the Skyrim Creation Kit and an official Steam community for collecting and sharing player-created game content, Bethesda has also unleashed an official high resolution texture pack for the game, granting players with the proper processing power unparalleled beauty to go along with their award-winning RPG experience.
Between the tools and the texture pack I’m currently adding another 3.1GB of data to my Skyrim Steam install, so it’s going to be a while before I see the effects first-hard. I’ll just drool over these screens as my grand adventure gets busy prettifying itself.

Wait, what’s the official word on the size of this thing? I’m hoping the highres textures take up most of the 3.1gb, since I wouldn’t be able to run them anyway. The CK’s what I want.

To be honest I never really had a problem with the original textures,not on Skrim, not for a 5 gig game.Rage at 23 gigabytes and still has blurry textures up close, now that I have a problem with.
