Not really. I'm merely pointing out the ridiculous rant people are proposing in here about DA2's graphics given it's still in early alpha stage. It's too stupid even for us.
Sure sounds like we're supposed to see this screenshots and think "Wow, that's so much better!" not "Well, they're just from an alpha build."The team at BioWare is also aware that many gamers weren't satisfied with the graphical quality in Origins; Dragon Age II not only looks better, but sports a new artistic direction that gives the world of Thedas a more distinct visual identity.
Surprised anyone cares about graphics in an CRPG really.

Once upon a time even the Journo's knew the score: CRPG's usually use second generation graphics (or worse) but rely on what is under the hood. I understand they have gone all next gen, but what are all the excuses here? Just a bunch of graphics whores? The need for CRPG's to be at the graphical pinnacle has contributed to the hopelessness of the genre. Massively. Glad to see the silliness extends to the Codex.
Bear in mind that I am not arguing for the game in question, merely the semantics of the thread in play.

But is DA2, or DA for that matter, an RPG? ZING!

Next Gen CRPG's aren't worth playing unless you are either a graphics whore or collar-grabbing EXTREEME. There are no mitigating factors like 'good gameplay' or 'branching main quest paths' or 'expansive world'.
