I wish Baldur's Gate 3 had a visual like in Diablo 4

Why do Larians think dark locations are bad and repulsive?

You don't think brown on brown is exciting?

I really think they overreacted to the response to D3 in the other direction from D1 and D2.

D1 was far darker than any other, but also had color.

The camera zooms out more than in D4 and that is enough for me.

The color palate isn't the problem, look at Dark Souls 3. They used a more monochromatic color palate to emphasize the bleak finality of the game. DS4 also does this, but the problem is the people who made the game.

I agree to some extend as the later Larian games share a common art-style that is definitely more on the brighter and colorful side and also the character animations (during the actual gameplay, not the cutscenes) are overdrawn in a kind of comic-style instead of a realistic style.

Off course its a matter of personal taste, but I would agree that a more realistic style would suite the setting and legacy of BG better.

However, I also understand that for the developer its often a better choice, as it makes everything very easy to read for the player and the overacted more comic-style animations help convey what the characters are doing even when zoomed out afar.

Because they aren't the same game. Diablo is different. If DA4 has more darkness to it, it probably because it goes with the franchise theme. You are facing the Devil, going down dungeon, hunting demons....gotta be dark to add to the atmosphere.

BG3 is following the same recipee. A bunch of adventurer travelling around solving quest and kicking baddies.

One solution and I don't know if it exist in the game would be a Weather system. So the day will turn to night eventually.

But even with that, peoples will find way to whine regardless. I still remember how some peeps whined about NWN2 being too flashy, Too dark...

You could always play Dark Soul...that game does darkness like no other game I've seen.

You want darker? Turn down the gamma on your monitor.

I'd still say dark souls 3 made better artistic use of contrast from what I recall. But yeah game design is also a problem lol

I don't think D4 lacks colour, I think it's desaturated, maybe an over-correction for D3.

That would be downgrade huh XD

Diablo 4 looks so bad compared to BG3.

DIablo 4 makes you choose between armor they made purposely to look bad and paid cosmetics. The further we can stay from that, the better in my book.
