I don't remember NWN looking as bad as in those screenshots, they look like either the texture quality isn't maxed or maybe they scaled bad to some really high resolution or something. I remember NWN textures as pretty sharp back in the day...
Anyway, it's artstyle was as painfully generic and boring as possible. NO charm whatsoever. I do remember the torch throwing light that would be blocked by stuff and the shadows would move as you moved (do I remember that right?) in the academy at the beginning for example.
IMO it was too early to go full 3D if the goal was lovely visuals.
Game had big issues unrelated to the graphics anyway. What a total downer after BG2. Tough to believe the same people(?) made it.
Dungeon Siege graphics were hyped up like crazy by the gaming press here, but other than the seamless world imo they weren't too nice either. NWN looked better sometimes, sometimes worse. Also suffered from the meh artstyle problem.
Also a shit game mostly.

Of course, the secret to what makes a good RPG has finally been discovered!
NWN2 looks like vomit. Witcher 1 looks really good though for the engine.NWN always looked like a spanked arse, I were amazed by how pretty second game an Witcher were in comparison, comin from that fuckin abortion. Heard they improved graphics a bit in NWN oer years along wi addin cloaks an shit, but when it came out it'd make your fuckin eyeballs puke.
Dungeon Siege were pure graphic porn though, pretty then an still pretty now, though character models were a bit lackin.

I don't know if most people considered NWN good-looking, but a lot of Infinity Engine fans who liked 2D must have felt like they were being gaslit about it. Awesome graphics, incredible particle effects, 10/10! It traumatized a hell of a lot of people and probably drove more than a few out of the hobby entirely.
WRONG.
Another WRONG.

Just like that taco I bought for lunch, it'll pass.This thread is making me want to reinstall NWN.
I played NWN not to long ago and the texture were definitely sharper which leads me to believe they're just cherrypicked screenshots. Paging Lilura to post aesthetic NWN tilesets.
Why does the Codex like girls that look high?
