About this mod
This reshade preset does nothing over the top, no extreme darkness, contrast or colors. I kept Bannerlord's natural colors in mind while also enhancing the atmosphere. The end product is a clone of what taleworlds showed in their blog posts with the nice lighting. It seems as though they had downscaled some of the lighting for better performance.

little to no impact on fps
At most, you will experience a 1-2 framerate drop with an average rig. It's performance-friendly.
