Comment on Skyrim Looks Incredible with Marty’s New Path Tracing Mod

It can’t use path tracing because many of the light sources in Skyrim are fake. Many things that look like light sources (torches, windows, fireplaces etc.) are not, and there are hidden light sources sprinkled by developers instead all over the place. Occasionaly they happen to coincide but it’s the exception rather than the norm.

Lighting in general in Skyrim is a mess and there are many mods dedicated to fixing the original lights, shadows, ambient lighting, sun & moon etc. Read through the descriptions for mods like Relighting Skyrim or Realistic Lighting Overhaul.
