I was just wondering if there is any news on a high res texture pack being released for the item pack DLCs (not sure about Legacy since I haven't downloaded it yet). I saw there was a thread a while back, but it seems to have disappeared.
[DLC] High Res Textures?

Legacy includes high-resolution textures for its content (for the armor and environment textures at least; weapons rarely seem to have high-resolution textures, but this is the same for all the vanilla content too).
There is no update regarding high-resolution textures for the first item pack. The last word was given before the release of Legacy, where it was stated that they were still intended for eventual release.
There is no mention whether the item pack to be released on Tuesday will ship with high-resolution textures for the PC. I suppose we'll find out in a couple days, unless we can get Fernando on the forums sooner.

Cool, thanks for the answer. Hopefully they'll shed some more light on the issue soon.

That's not actually true at all. I mean, it is true that the DLC items (including Legacy) are not high-resolution. But the high-res texture pack for the base game does have high-res textures for most blades (not sure about axes/maces/mauls). And it has high-res normal maps for everything.

I'm including all the unlockable and Day 1 DLC content in "vanilla", but I think there are still base weapons that either don't have high-res textures or have really bad textures (at least a few varieties of vanilla daggers, including Isabela's, as well as some of the base staves). But my intent with that statement was more that anything in Legacy that's not hi-res is probably never going to be hi-res (they've never mentioned updating any of the vanilla weapons or any of the early DLC items that I'm aware of).
I'm more than willing to read a list of exactly which weapons are actually using high-resolution textures (I don't always have a good eye for these on the weapon models), as long as you do the work of compiling that list. And that way I'll be able to provide more factual statements in the future. Everybody wins! :-)

From what I have seen, none of the weapons are high res. Although it has been a while since I used a vanilla weapon to check! 
I am not sure weapons need to be High Res but some of the two handed swords and staffs do look ugly when you zoom in. I can't see it being all that difficult to implement.

Of the 22 different dagger models, 17 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 33 different longsword models, 25 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 20 different greatsword models, 18 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 12 different axe models, 8 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 14 different greataxe models, 9 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 9 different mace models, 8 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 8 different maul models, every one of them has a high-resolution diffuse map included in the HRT pack.
Of the 22 different staff models, 8 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
Of the 9 different shortbow models, 1 of them has a high-resolution diffuse map included in the HRT pack.
Of the 12 different longbow models, every one of them has a high-resolution diffuse map included in the HRT pack.
Of the 161 different weapon models, 114 of them have high-resolution diffuse maps included in the HRT pack.
This is 71%. Some weapon types suffer more (staves and shortbows), but apart from those two groups, almost every weapon model has a high-res texture. And, as I mentioned, every one of them has a high-res normal map.

Does that include the items that are actually useful (i.e., the Black Emporium and unlockable items)?
Anyway, 71% sounds great (but it's still far from your "almost every weapon model"; yeah, almost every one except for nearly a third of them?), except that "every one of them has a high-resolution diffuse map" is meaningless when I can't wield a longbow.
So for my mage Hawke, less than 40% of the models (for a weapon I can actually use) will be ones that don't look like a herpes outbreak. Joy!

If they use base models (which some of them do), then yes.
But promo and DLC items do not have high-res diffuse maps, which is exactly my point.
When over 70% of the base items do, it's terrible that none of the DLC/promo items do.

Oh, I agree that you're stuck with true vanilla content (no green weapons at all) if you're playing hi-res and want something that looks good.
But the inexplicable absence of high-resolution resources for a lot (yes, 30% is a lot) of the vanilla weapon models is the reason why I said to not expect them (not for Legacy and not for the theoretical update to the first item pack). So to say, I was trying to imply that any high-resolution texture updates aren't going to affect the weapon models, ever.
