It does more then just FXAA like color-correction, bloom and so on.

The graphics look really dated in Skyrim. I am surprised that it requires such a high end PC to play it.

Another reprehensible job well done...
Here's my Skyrim album at imgur. Plenty of nice, scenic screenshots. No spoilers other than showing off set-pieces, of course, before they can wow you ingame...
@Flogger: I guess you could pick apart screenshots and find the occasional low-res texture here and there, and maybe the DistantLand looks a little empty at times, but the art as a whole more than makes up for any technical short comings there might be, and if you're playing the game and you have in front of you, in motion, and it's just showering you with scene after scene that's no less than wallpaper material...
Calling it "really dated" is right behind "I'd love to lick a tire right now" on your list of stuff to think.
I mean, come on:

It plays pretty well (Skyrim) on a AMD 64 Athlon x2 3800, 3 go ram and a Nv 450.
eyeCandy set to low.
Surprise, surprise...

Alright the game is ugly then, and following that, the optimization is horrible.
Since my PC runs it fine though and since I apparently have really low standards I'll continue letting the game wow me again and again with brilliant scenery after brilliant scenery...

On a sideonte, what do you use to take or convert screenshots, murphy? The compression artifacts in your screenshots do make my eyes bleed.

Yah, whenever there is high contrast they really suck.
Taking them with Steam, uploading them to imgur.

Don't use the steam feature, the screenshots never come out good.
Skyrim has a neat little screenshot feature built in, so when you press "prnt scrn" it will make a .bmp screenshot in the game directory in your steam folder.
And use GIMP to convert them to JPG.

More jpeg compression, because I'm a lazy bum. I could say it's intentional and if I could convince anyone I might be considered an artist. But it's not, and I can't, and I'm not. I'm just lazy.

I think what they did very well in Skyrim is what they call macro detail, in addition to micro detail, which has always been great in Elderscrolls games. I.e. how a scene as a whole looks. Not just a single, great looking house with boring generic landscape around it, or a great looking tree that's still just a tree. Not a certain type of tree that makes you think of a certain climate. Just how everything comes together.
That was lacking in Morrowind (didn't need it due to short draw distances) and Oblivion.
So when you play Skyrim you're completely immersed in the world and you come around a corner and see this:
And you're amazed at how cool this is, just as if you walked around in the actual wilderness and found something like this.
Or fun little details like this: Couple of hunters enjoying themselves in hot springs!
You don't stop to think "omg, those textures are blurry!"
I guess a huge part of the appeal is lost if you don't actually play it and the game didn't have a chance to rope you in but you're just critically examining screenshots.

Yup, all the texture whiners are getting on my nerves.
Ive seen screenshot with ultra super hi res texture mods, and it looks awful, because while detailed, it just looked like someone pasted a photo of grass over the terrain.
I'd leave the graphics as they are because in the overall picture, is just superb.

Just another day killing two dragons under new moons
Also, this is the first time I think I remember seeing the aurora (happened a bit before the above image since I'm still in my old armor here)
And just a good, old fashioned bug
