When playing older games that graphically didn't age that well such as Deus Ex or Shock 2, people often recommend using HD textures. These textures usually aren't official and often take some liberties on those images they are replacing.
When I play games, on my first playtrhough I try to experience them in an original form so I can mentally place them in a time of release and see how they compare to other games from the same period. It gets a bit more complicated with games that got remastered in the meantime so I'd pick on individual basis if I'm gonna play remaster or the original on my first encounter with the game.
On a second playthrough I don't mind modding, both graphics and gameplay if there's something fun available. What about you?
