--8/29/2017 | New ReShade released (Cinematic Realism Redux Beta). Download on the file page here for now, and pics are here: https://www.facebook.com/MercsAssassin/
--9/6/2017 | Major update released for Cinematic Realism, bringing us to version 2. 3. New screenshots on the last two pages (of that desert planet that's not Eos finally!) Patch notes are on the download page. Sorry it took me a little longer than I'd anticipated. Cheers!
-- Use DoF_Radius to increase overall Depth of Field. Will start to blur looting menus again after about 50... But man does it look good... Change DOF_NearBlurCurve to 6 to be engulfed in DOF. Definitely turn off in menus. Leave the radius at 30 if adjusting the NearBlurCurve.
-- 4/10/17: New ME:A ReShade RELEASED in main file section. Will be moved to standalone page soon. Please go to YouTube and upvote if you like what you see. High-quality pics here: From the released version: http://imgur.com/gallery/xvrwg --

Cinematic Realism Lighting Overhaul changes the game's atmosphere to something far more cinematic. This mod invokes the feeling you get when you see pre-rendered cinematic trailers for games and are in disbelief because of how stupidly-good everything looks.
Well you'll no longer need to merely wonder when graphics will get that good. With this mod, they are that good.
Light sources will be more pronounced than in the vanilla game :)
