Re: Dark Souls: Prepare To Die...Again and Again

I finally got around to installing DSFix 2.2 and it did make a small difference to the graphics as far as I could see but it's hard to compare in and out of game. Plus, I didn't fiddle too much with the ini to start with except to customize the HUD and something else I can't remember atm. Personally I thought the vanilla graphics were OK as that's not my major focus in games before actual gameplay and story.
However, I then discovered a SweetFX profile on the Dark Souls Nexus and it changed the way my game looks entirely. Stunning is the word that comes to mind. Just beautiful. Having said that, I'm currently in the Painted World of Ariamis and can't get out until I complete the area or attend to the boss (there's a choice whether to kill or not) so I'm looking forward to seeing the forest and other areas like Anor Londo.
Anyway, here are a few initial screenshots. They have black borders at top and bottom and I'm not sure what the reason is, but I'll look into that some other time, maybe.

My character in the Gold Hemmed Black Set which has high poison and fire resistance which I need in the Painted World. Upgraded Balder Side Sword and Crest Shield. I swap between different sets of weapons, armour and shields as necessary.
Undead Dragon...spews poisonous fumes. Easily killed with an upgraded bow. (might be a bit dark)
Kindling the flame. One of the rare times I'm human form instead of wrinkly undead.
