A bit strange to focus on this maybe but i find it amazing. It's the way they've done the windows. Depending on how light drops down on you, you can see the glass-glare/stains, so that i end up getting a realistic impression of the space between me and the window, it really adds to the atmosphere.

It's just one method of course, the excellent sound etc all combine to add to the realism, but it's the first time i have noticed such progress in graphical effects since Oblivion, when i realised that the shadows from the trees were flitting across my sword hand.

Here are a few examples:

I love ED more and more these days, i just wish i knew what was coming next. Frontier tell us please!


Lastly, who's footwear is cooler? The commander's Tabi-style shoes, or Jebediah kerman's Mun boots?

Rumour is that the final rift hardware will support prescription inserts. Really hoping this is the case!

My friend, who's in exactly the same boat as you, used my OR and he's worn monster glasses all his life, his eye sight is well and truly messed up.
He had no issues with wearing glasses and the OR at the same time.
You may want to put a protective layer over the OR lenses just for added scratch protection, like what you get for smart phones.
If you think it's good now, wait until you try OR.

Yeah don't give up hope, I'm very short sighted (I wear tri-focal glasses) and I can just about use them without my glasses, or with my standard distance ones.
