I have a problem with this game, too. It looks too beautiful :P
I’ll crank up the bloom - Oblivion-like. Would that solve the issue for you?
Fun aside, I actually find this to be a deep topic. I believe that games should be either realistic-looking or animated-looking. There's nothing wrong with not choosing a near-realistic look—apart from not being able to appease the angry kids and thus not being able to make enough money, that is :P It's just that a game should know where its place is. Best to stick with the animated-looking stuff if all you can do in the former is a half-assed, angular, semi-empty attempt. It's too bad that a large portion of developers (amateurs as well) don't see that. Or worse yet, they know of this but are forced to conform the as-near-to-realism-as-they-can-get stereotyped mongering.

But honestly, and without buttering it up, your game looks like one of the few that seem to blend and transcend both approaches.

It’s more like that I have finally found that sweet spot I was searching for all these years. I may yet tweak things here and there, but I am mostly working on missing systems, refining existing ones and working on content now. The art direction is close to where I want it to end up.
So how far a long are you? I know it's done when it's done, but...this year? Next year....this decade?

This decade is a fair assumption.

Wow, this is really looking beautiful! As a huge B@K fan I'm very pleased to see the progress of Call of Saregnar over the past few years, it's very impressive! Great work Rhuantavan, and good luck moving forward! I'm sure this will be a quick buy for me when it is eventually released!
