Does VG still screenshot without some of the graphical effects being applied?


What you are seeing is static meshes (the rocks) penetrating height field terrain. Making a world as big as we did using a height field terrain (like EQ 2 did) would have made the install like 50gb not 17gb. In the future though as hardware becomes cheaper and more powerful, I think you will see large, seamless worlds where the terrain is not a height field and are polygons just like the objects in the world.
