Just started playing the PC version and all the characters have a glowing aura around them. Also depending on how far an object or person is they have what look like old school scanlines on them. Am I insane or is that an artistic choice for the game? I never noticed it in any videos. If it does exist, is there anyway to turn it off?

been watching my friend play on pc while I play xbox and we haven't seen any. However on the pc version he's playing we've seen some screen tear. COuld just be his shitty lap top. Never fear though, Im sure if you're seeing scan lines, there will probly be a fix here in the next few days if not by the devs then by the gaming community. I had mad crossfire on my Skyrim, a week after launch I found a quick fix, turned out it was just a flaw cause by an update for my graphics card drivers

I turned Screen Space Ambient Occlusion to Normal instead of High and that fixed it. Looks a lot better.

Yeah screen space AO has a bad habit of looking like shit and adding ugly auras around all edges if it's not on high in most games.
