Is it possible to "force" game loading maximum (0) level mipmaps?

Playing swtor. In cut-scenes game engine uses HQ 2k textures, but in game limit is 1024, and textures look awful.

Is it possible to force game loading maximum quality mip map?

At the driver level you can force the mipmap level, but you'll likely experience texture shimmering/crawling.

Google: mipmap lod bias

I always thought the textures in swtor looked fine.  Maybe I'm used to kotor graphics.
