Immaculate ReShade
This Screenshot and gameplay ReShade goes well beyond basic lighting tweaks that most other reshades use. Immaculate ReShade utilizes more complex shaders to really push ESO into the modern era. As we all know, ESO's vanilla lighting was bad even in 2014, and it certainly doesn't live up to the standards of the current year. This ReShade aims to completely overhaul the lighting to an almost unrecognizable extent while still keeping within the bounds of something that won't hurt your eyes looking at it. Retaining a sense of realism in the environments was a huge goal when making this, though my intention with this reshade was primarily to create a screenshot-focused preset specifically for character photography, as you'll see in the examples on the media tab. However, environments still look absolutely stunning, and nothing was sacrificed there.
This reshade can absolutely still be used for gameplay, I use it for gameplay as well, and it is such a huge improvement over vanilla lighting. Though in real content like dungeons or trials, the effects may hinder your visibility or be too extreme. If you're just questing on the overland, however, this will work perfect for you! If you do both, this preset can be turned on or off at will with a user-set hotkey in the reshade settings pannel.
20 minutes of gameplay with my reshade active, with occasional stops
to compare how the game looks with it off, on, off, and back on again.
