Remember when Oblvion was announced and Bethesda showcased the amazing dynamic lighting system that would be featured in it? Oh God, you can’t imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that our beloved company had decided to dumb it down. And guess what; Skyrim suffers from the very same thing. Oh yeah, a lot of light sources are don’t cast shadows and as a result of that, most of the interiors look flat. A nice workaround is the implementation of SSAO but lets be honest, a dynamic lighting system should be present in most modern-games.
