Sharing their discoveryon Reddit, one user highlighted how “this feels like the most useless graphics setting ever” revealing the Cloud Quality graphics setting.

“Because you can’t look up, I don’t think I’ve seen a cloud in the 80 hours I’ve spent in this game so far” they added, proving just how odd it is to see such an attention to detail.

Other players were baffled too, and shared their thoughts in the comments: “YES! I always ask myself that. Why the F this setting even exists….”

Another joked about the setting: “There are clouds in the game.” Thankfully, you do see clouds occasionally during cutscenes but due to depth they’ll usually be blurry, so that doesn’t make the setting too useful.

However, one user highlighted just what the cloud setting could mean: “I believe this is referring to effect clouds created from spells and such. Poison clouds, noxious fumes, Fog Cloud, etc.” While this certainly makes sense, it’s not too detailed during the setting explanation.
