Looking at the amazing art of W3 I find it exceptionally hard to believe the horrid fog was an artistic choice. I mean, who would even... god why?

It is. Because it actually exist in the real life.
But only with a certain kind of weather. It would be good if that is dynamic, but it isn't.
i agree, the use of the blue fog can be a nice effect and helps to add even more deph, but it was used WAAAAY too much in the current buildIt is. Because it actually exist in the real life.

so yeah guys, it was an artistic choice, not BS
(and guys behave, or we might get this thread locked >.< )
I just took this, from my house. See the little mountain on the distance. Same blue fog.
People should look out of their windows more often. Everybody should know that this effect really exists.
Whatsoever, I cannot wait for progress in Essenthy's work.

This is where i live and the fog does not kick in until very far away, even then it's very mild
Anyway, this is a game and we will not be constrained by reality! :lol:

This is honestly amazing ! Absolutely gorgeous.
I really hope this weird yellow filter can be resolved though.

Yes, the problem is not that the game has blue fog but rather the lack of lighting and draw distance variation. Especially since the game apparently is packed with interesting lighting definitions that aren't really used.There's no doubt the blue fog exists, but it doesn't exist everywhere. Which is why I'd love to see a mod that has different lighting for each region
But as long as they are brought back, either by mods or even officially I will be perfectly happy.

Yes, the problem is not the blue fog, but how close it is.
Comparing to my photo took earlier
...the fog on the mountain is legit (even to hide the flaws of the LOD and texturing). But it shouldn't be on the trees.

I would say Skellige is in the most need of getting rid of the fog, it's way to strong and makes skellige feel very closed of :/
Game artistic vision went a terrible way from 2014. CDPR please just give us access to other environmental options.
The latest patch did something with it, now the draw distance in Skellige is longer.
There was a perfect balance of the view distance and this fog in 35 min. demo, IMHO.
I'd like to report a bug of the swamp lighting mod... as soon as it starts raining the fog disappears and doesn't show up anymore. I think that may also be the reason why in some instances/save games the mod doesn't work.... there is something in the engine/weather files of the vanilla game which overwrites the effect of the mod.
Just like everyone else, I hated those distant ugly looking fog from day one. It just obscures the view in the distance and makes me feel like I'm in a winter foggy season which is not how it should be. Witcher 3's world is amazing but those fogs block out those amazing distant scenes from being appreciated. Here's what I'm talking about.

OT/ I have notice that Bald Mountain didn't exist in the 2013 build. Strange, I would have bet that is one of the first thing they did.
