Obsidian has the best tech
100 NPC per area. Tech of the year award 1970.
Enviroment grafics. Kill self.

I have no clue how and what I want to convey, but everyone who doesn't understand it is a moron.
It's perfectly clear for the people that aren't trying to use the subject just to make sure all present know they are cool and not graphics whore because they play old games as if that needs asserting in a CRPG forums. Thank God I don't need to open every one of my posts with a disclaimer about my legitness.

What is wrong with rocks?
You either did not saw rocks or chocolate. If anything you should be concerned about trees sticking out of the not so great mud.

Anyways I'm pretty sure its not final render. You can see a sculpting with not enough subdivisions and 90 degree slop ( where it clearly should not be)

The screenshots look bad compared to PoE.
FeelTheRads is still confused.

What's unclear is what's wrong with being OK with that. And what does polycount have to do with the "good" art direction of PoE. But I guess I still don't get what you mean.

That PoE screen looks pretty bad, btw. Bland, barely any contrast and flat textures. IWD had much better outdoor areas fuck knows how many years ago.
For a prerendered game those rocks also look pretty low-poly, made even more obvious by the shitty textures.

Tranny also definitely looks prerendered so that has nothing to do with how it looks.

Overall its pretty strange river, there are no sand or small rocks. If its "recently out of channel river" look they went for, they kinda failed at it.

It's wrong because they can do (and have done) better than that. Unless there's some unknown constraint limiting their enviroment art in Tranny, it can't be justified.

Still looks better than Tranny. And it's an old picture from when artists were still getting the hang of it.

Less eh more fuck yeah
Honestly not feeling it. I don't think POE looks especially terrible or anything, but the higher level of detail does not work in its favor artistically. Nothing reads well at that scale. A more unrealistic, "iconic" style communicates better than trying to make it like a photograph. Tyranny has too much detail as it is, but the blocky terrain is a step in the right direction.

Truly, you are the edgiest around here since you don't mind being a graphics whore. So this game might look different/worse than Pillars. Big fucking deal, it still looks better than the top two games of last year. You should get a life, retard face.
