When you really start to look screenshots with detail, texturepacks might look bit repetive where bethesda ones are more seamless. But believe me, when playing, texture packs do take graphics to totally new level. They look FAR more realistic and pleasing than Bethesda originals. Castle thing is true though, Visual Packs look too clean on that department. However, check darker morrowind texture pack. Now THATS how gloomy castle should look like. Why i dont use it then? Darker morrowind makes everything look dark and "rusty". While i like dark themes and looks, it pronounces it way too much to the point of depressing...
