Displacements that don't look like butt

[A Gentleman's Mustache]

Specifically mountainous terrain. I use the sculpting tool, pushing to be specific, but when I try to emulate natural-looking terrain, it just ends up looking blocky and awkward. Not to mention that it is incredibly time consuming, only to end up with a product that looks like it belongs in an N64 game. Are there any guides to making cliffs/mountains that both look good and don't take forever to make?

Lower the scale, raise the radius.

Already looking much better. Thanks for the quick response. Seems so obvious now.

The smoothing tool can be really great for, well, smoothing things out. I usually do a quick pass with it to soften sharp edges I made.

I make good looking cliffs by mainly following this technique:
