Anyone else thinks the game has NOT CHANGED AT ALL, given you were using high resolution textures before?

I certainly don't agree. Just being on a 64bit engine is worth the upgrade. Visually it's admittedly a small step but for modding it's entered a brand new era and that is very, very exciting.

No. There's a VERY CLEAR difference.

I watched countless streamers playing it and I can't see any. Maybe it's because I haven't played in a while, ESO now takes the crown.

There is a noticeable difference in the lighting and slight subtle changes in some textures but that is it.

As for the save games, I had issue transfering mine over due to the shear number of mods I was using with the original. Best thing to do is remove all mods except the official DLC and Official HD texture pack and do a quick save then copy the file over.

lighting, fog, textures, god rays, shadows. All different.

But...

1. G sync not working
2. 100hz+ refresh not working
3. Sound issues from bad compression

I still love this game but I hope they address these.
