Lighting is the key. It changes everything.
As far as I know it was only possible in the past via external rendering libraries (some replacements for the A6/A7 renderer). So did Sylex or Sphere.
This means short and simply: No, A7 cannot do it. You need an external tool. But there is none for A7 yet.

hi,
dont know why all the people loves this lightning.
What is this ? Zombies are taking a sunbath ?
I cant stand it ! Its so cruel
This is the fact why I leave the Game "Oblivion" after a view hours!
This blurry - softed view. Baeeee...terrible!
Nice to take a picture. But in a game it is an additional layer between me and
the "gameworld". This is so useless like this "lensflare-effect" but in the beginning all people loves it.
Nothing against the S2 engine but this blurry softed Lightning is not a feature!

I agree with you gri. They very much over-did this effect.
But think away the blurry part and you still have good shadows and per-pixel-lighting. Bloom is not always needed.
PS: You can switch off Bloom in Oblivion as well. No need to suffer from blurry game experiences.

shaders will do it all for you. it is possible in a7. commercial or higher. the only thing shaders won't do is the stencil shadows, which a7 already has -- z-fail, and in this screenshot they're orthographic, which a7 does whether you want it to or not
