About Antialiasing.
Bethesda decided to use the worst possible Antialiasing Method that exists (and caters more for consoles), called "Temporal Antialiasing" which is basically HRAA aka High Resolution Antialiasing.. it's the least performance eating method and removes alot of jaggies.. something between SMAA and FXAA.. but it creates a really disgusting side effect/artifact.. and that is Ghosting or Smudging/Blurring causing slightly faster moving objects/foliage etc to look really weird. I did get a PS4 Retail Copy to play it a little earlier because i couldn't wait, and it saddens me a little that there is no toggle to disable it. Many games on PC also use this AA Method, such as Far Cry 4 (where it's named SMAA T1X i think), Dead Rising3, Assassins Creed Unity + Black Flag and several other Titles.. Project Cars also has this and the developers listened and added a slider for Temporal Antialiasing.. i hope Bethesda will do the same after official Release. But luckily on PC, we can use SMAA from Sweetfx, DSR, FXAA + MFAA through the Control Panel. Just thought i'd share this! sorry for the long wall of text.

They just said they supported temporal AA.
There will be other types of AA supported.
And what's stopping you from forcing AA through the driver panel?

Wonders if some people actually know how to operate their GPU software...
Filthy console peasants ruining our glorious games!

Not sure for who this is but.. did you read the OP? Since the console version has this ugly method of antialiasing, i have high doubts Bethesda will bother to add proper FXAA/MFAA/MSAA into the PC version of the game. And i'm glad there are the possibilities of FXAA/SweetFX's SMAA/MFAA and DSR for games that lack proper AA Methods.

You're right, I missed the part where you answered your own concerns.

TAA is fine, stop crying about things that don't matter.

No it's not, stop being ignorant about lackluster/poorly implemented Antialiasing Methods of modern games.

Just force MSAA through your GPU panel if you honestly care that much, which you shouldn't because TAA is superior.

You should spend less time worrying about unimportant things that can be fixed so easily, by not pressing your nose onto your computer screen, and fixing the problems that are more crucial to life.
Such as learning how to semi-paragraph.

Glad to be the one to bring out your sarcasm, I hope your feeling of superiority lasts longer than this sentance :)

So instead of fixing your OP you choose to be a child about the situation?
