that was a troll answer, just so you know.
i recommend trying different water and shadow settings. you can change them in-game (/shadow 0-2, /water 0-4). anti-aliasing (..you know what i mean) should not be higher then 4 i guess.
just try out stuff yourself, you'll see what your system can handle, and if you are unsure about a setting, or see no improvement when setting it higher, leave it at the default.

Trib is a troll but his response was pretty good in this case.

what the fuck guys. Seriously, check all the boxes, slide everything to the right, and watch your fps drop. How is this trolling? Some smart ass will give him a detailed answer that has too much information, while mine correctly and succinctly answers the question.

Best way to make BA look pretty is to play Gundam instead

I was agreeing with your answer and saying you weren't trolling. Read better.

Maybe... In that case you fail at life instead.

Now go and make your UI

I would set the following:
4 or 8x AA
Reflective units, 2048 shadows
Reflective+refractive water

All in render quality should be checked except maybe dynamic clouds and compress textures.

You can also add some widgets to make it nicer.

looks like you have some problem with the details, everything looks blurred. perhaps your GFX card is broken?
