HD/SD choices cover your character, other players and NPCs; classic animations are planned for HD models too. The graphics panel demonstrates spatial fog with light and shadows, plus longer sightlines between regions. Terrain casts shadows that better follow the sun and moon. Indirect lighting picks up colours from nearby surfaces. Reworked water gains river flow, varying waves and environmental reflections. The demonstrated authoring controls are developer tools, not confirmed player settings. The presentation does not establish specific frame rates or identical rendering on every hardware configuration.
