Game looks horrible

[𝕁𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕖]

Looks like a cartoon, almost like scooby doo especially with the reactions of both your character and others with the wide eyes and big mouth open if something shocking happens. Where is the serious gritty aspects of rpgs nowadays?? Not here anymore I guess

The facial expressions are extremely exaggerated, they come off as unintentionally comical. I'm not sure what patch added that, but it was an addition the game didn't need. This combines with the constant clownery of the visual effects and animations. I hope this stuff was revised before the 1.0 release, otherwise the game is going to be much worse off because of it.

Might be an issue with the software that they use for facial animations. Remember ME: Andromeda? They had the same problem until it got patched.

They should add an 16K texture pack so the game can be 600 gibibytes.

Gritty, More appealing to your eyes than BG3 or Scooby Doo!

I'm afraid that the game looks cold and soul-less, as if there is no art direction whatsoever. It lacks its own aesthetical style or language.

The characters look very generic/realistic, almost like some dudes in LARP-costumes. Their costumes in particular look like from a costume shop. I think it's also due to the fact that the costumes are so unrelated to each other. You would assume that in a fantasy world, people from a particular culture would have similar ideas about fashion and borrow ideas from one another. In BG3, that does not seem to be the case. That makes it feel a bit like a clown-costume show.

The UI is very generic. And the game has no color palette. Usually, you want warm, brownish tones for pre-modern (pre-electric light) settings. It also helps enhance the narrative aspect. Take a look at BG2's presentation. It had very warm colors and a unique style to its UI.

Ya I found a lot of BG 1/2 much more gritty. Like the comedic relief barbarian and his magic hamster, so edgy.

Hey! His names Minsc and he is a proud ranger not a barbarian. He and his miniature giant space hamster are a formidable duo to be respected! :D

I think the graphics and characters looks beautiful for a crpg game, Diablo is not even close to it considering there is not even close up scenes on the characters... or just let's compare this game to their previous Original Sins 2. The difference is huge in quality and content.

dont play it then, simple.

For me they missed the mark on the scale of halflings and gnomes. They are just short legged and thats kinda it. Their hands are larger than humans/elves etc. hands, they just kinda look weird to me. Halflings are my favorite dnd race so maybe that bias is creeping in too when I see them

Yeah, I feel bad for the folks that favor the smaller races. I suppose their animations were more difficult to manage, for whatever reason. When they move around it's almost grotesque to look upon.

I agree. Graphics looks childish and it probably ruins the atmosphere. I have not played this game, but the graphical style looks so off putting that I am not going to buy it at least with the current price.
