Still a stiff game with horrible character models?

Especially the faces were atrocious back when I got it. Same still?
Thinking DE might have polished things maybe?

And the camera is usually behind your character, not to mention that a lot of helmets cover the face. So while they are terrible, it really doesn't matter.

Ohh no!!! God forbid those faces aren't detailed enough!! What would we ever do!

If we compare this to dark souls its a janky clunky mess, however it's an amazing janky clunky mess!!! I really recommend the game as it's easily a top 5 RPG of all time. If you're playing for looks then you should skip it cause while beautiful, it will more than likely disappoint you.

Not playing for looks only but it would be nice if the graphics got improved somewhat because the first time around I played it, it was god awful, really.

If you think they're good awful try playing the switch version or on potato settings.

You have a point there.
Did they polish up the graphics in DE in general?

No, afaik there were not notable changes to the graphics. DE is more about rebalancing and distributing DLC elements through the whole world, so you'll find elementals, knuckle weapons, corruption, armor with barrier and so on in all regions of the game now.
