More ASVGF (and Hybrid PT) Shots
I miss Hybrid PT in its lower light conditions/shadows. Was still editing specular here too so the blue was popping out more.

RT Reflection and Other ASVGF Struggles
If there is one thing I loathe about ASVGF’s RT Reflection setting, it is specular. Have you seen that specular?
What the helly is that blue shine???? It sucks because I really do like the shine that RT Reflections offers, but the way it affects the color palette bothers me immensely.
On someone’s comment in the Dragon’s Dogma Discord, I decided to take a gander and look at this shit again. Bless Arnborn isolating the relevant settings in Graphics Suite Lite, as I didn’t know how to change it in the original mod.
Things I figured out:
Obvious, but GI/Reflection History affect noise. Reflection History set to 0 removes the reflection outline but has a lot of noise. Even at just 2, that reflection outline will pop up.
Diffuse Ray Length affects the strength of shadows/dark areas. Lower values blend specular better, but reduce shadows/dark areas to the point where you can see inside caves.
Reflection Ray Length affects the specular shine the most. Higher values reduce that shine, but emphasize shadows. For reducing the effect on characters, recommend Character Spotlight at least at a smaller value.
Edited Diffuse Ray Length, Vanilla Specular Ray Length 
Edited Diffuse Ray Length and Reflection Ray Length 
Edited + Less Spotlight 
Edited + Vanilla Spotlight Ultimately I ended up with turning down Diffuse Ray Length some and turning up Reflection Ray Length. The GI and Reflection Hx I could turn down some because I can live with noise. Nevertheless, I tried comparing ASVGF and Hybrid PT again, and even tried matching ASVGF’s reflections a bit against Hybrid PT.
Turning up Reflection History 
Trying to copy Hybrid PT Reflection-wise with Reflection History 
Hybrid PT 
Hybrid PT with ASVGF GI only I definitely like doing Hybrid PT with ASVGF GI only because it seems to preserve the color the most when combined together. The reflections just like… do things to the colors. And just look strange. Might need more adjustment,,,
