Shiny things are shiny only with card supporting shaders 3.0 or better. Although it is technically possible to make it on older cards,
EU does not support it. It has been discussed before.

Engine does NOT have all the graphics found in games using it. It depends on the game developers how detailed it will be. It isn't like "draw a man with a sword" or "draw water here". They still have to make the models, textures and shaders.
