Question about sprite outlines

[Grommash]

Guys, when you turn it off do characters look just as before? My eyes can't really decide. They somehow still look cartoonish than before even after turning off the sprites or am I just mistaken?

You're not mistaken. I think the new look is bad. I would love a button to restore the old graphics. Kind of upset.

Oh its good to know I am not the only one. Actually among all the changes this is the one which made most angry. I think game lost its classic feeling with those cartoonish looking characters. I hope they give an option to revert this damned patch.

I am clearly not mistaken. I have just visited beamdog forums and saw this issue is known and there is already a huge thread about it. I learned that something had been changed about original filtering of game and thats what causing the issue. People had warned them that this is not looking any good but they released the damn patch knowingly.

I have the same problem with the sprites as you guys. Turning off sprite outlines and highlighting does NOT set the sprites back to the state of 1.3

Indeed it doesnt, and it also doesnt remove the glitchy paperdolls outlines that you get when you cast most spells.

(for shame.)

I agree that this is the biggest issue with the update. I spend 2% of the time staring at the character sheet, so even if that is ruined I can work with inventory and be pleasantly surprised with level ups. However, the characters are what we see as we play the other 98% of the time, and they are just terrible. Please, please fix.

Not to mention an obvious loss of texture quality on those textures...

Than you can't simply turn off by ticking off anything. And in the meantime, fanboys keep antagonizing complaints by saying that we were given a choice to rollback (and lose saves, crash, etc.) or tick the option off.

Yeeaaah, right.

Yup. Even after disabling outlines in menu sprites are still outlined, just with thinner lines. Sprites themselves indeed look somehow different, though I can't point out how different, exactly. Water and lava bugs for me. Fortunately, paperdolls don't bug out on me with fireshields. I stop playing this... thing.

I'm wondering if Beamdog will even pay attention to their customer's feedback, let alone work on it.
But still: revert graphics and UI to 1.3 state!
Fix the 1.3 beta to be playable!
