the exact kind of attitude that brought us decline
It could be a lot better—and in order to be worth playing, it MUST be a lot better.
Take, for example, Jagged Alliance 2. After having played it, from that point onward, my expectations were more-or-less set. I might have settled for less while I waited for another squad-level tactical RPG that was as great as (or better than!) JA2 to come along, but I was always waiting for the real deal.
We're still waiting, across all genres and subgenres. We've played the best, we've played a lot of second- and third-bests, and at this point we're down to ninth- and ten-bests... yet sad people with a lot of free time to burn and nothing else going on in their lives apparently just need something to fill the empty hours, so they buy and play the latest tenth-best piece of shit.
In all seriousness, have some self-respect and cultivate a new hobby.

There were a lot B and C-level games in recent years but Grimoire and Underrail are the only truly exceptional RPGs of the post-Rennaisance era IMO

Take a look at Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate or or Dawn of War III (that is 5 years old), they have much better graphics.

I think the best one was Hong Kong. That felt the most refined to me and had the best characters.
The first one was pretty mediocre and Dragonfall was a little better but forgettable.
You know you fucked up when a game released in 1998 has better graphics than your modern game.
I know you're probably referring to demon hunters, but it's still funny to me.
Those are popamole basic bitch tier.
Bring out the Enslavers, Slaugth, and psychneunin.

Indeed by lack of choice but chilling mediocre indies or even game mods like the codex does is not any better.
You are unhappy about the guys who produced not one but two codex GOTY ! Why are you even still posting here? You all should be super excited about a game from developpers people worship here.

true but they are recognizable

All the more reason to use them. It would be more surprising for the player, especially one new to the franchise, to see something esoteric like a Rak'gol pushing their shit in rather than yet another ork.
Besides, worrying about "recognizable" when we're talking about a niche video game set in a niche (albeit relatively well known) setting is pointless. Especially when that sort of concern is what leads to flanderization and bland corporate shit. I would rather not see main faction xenos shoved in everywhere out of some desire for brand recognition.

I mean it could look better, it could really look worse, i know the writing is going to be gay but its not worse visually than dawn of war, although relic was on another level. Very hyped for homeworld 3 btw. Visuals are the issue for me. Wrath of the righteous is.
I'll have to refresh your memory because that was a decade ago.
I never joined the cult. I saw the writing on the wall immediately and sold out of Star Citizen shortly after its crowdfunding campaign wrapped up, in 2013. That's the key area where your memory appears to need refreshing.
Furthermore, I pledged large sums toward games you probably like, or at least wish you'd liked, including $1,000 (or was it $2,000?) to Numanuma, with no real thought of the backer rewards (which amounted mostly to an art print).
Not to worry, though: I learned my lesson and haven't spent a dime on empty crowdfunding promises since then, nor will I again. It was indeed foolish for me to trust all of these indolent has-beens, and not just Chris Roberts.
Fool me once, shame on me, etc. They got me real good... once.
I've essentially spent the last two years kayaking, hiking, backcountry camping, and fly fishing. I'm serious when I suggest cultivating another hobby, it's not facile advice.

Fixed it for you
Actually i think the one above is superior. No joke. Of curse it is shit and wouldn't be good for Owlcat (or would it?) but at least it is distinct. At least i would remember it after playing a 40k game. Unlike Owlcat's "style". It worked somewhat for kingmaker but warhammer + futuristic setting? No way.Art direction is one step away from this:
As someone said, f**k graphics, give me good gameplay and less nonsense/superfluous text/wokeness.

Because DAO was such a great game. Sad state of affair indeed... is not. The fact that there aren't many A(AA) crpgs is good for the genre. If we had more DAOs people would play even less indies that at least try to do something right even if sometimes miss the mark. We already have enough threads about Witchers and Skyrims as is.

KotC 1 is also exceptional. I wouldn't say AoD is exceptional but its a good RPG and DR is a good combat sim.

It's frustratingly sad that W40K is taking the artistic direction of WoW color puke, and this game isn't even the first instance of it happening.

Blame GW. They've been going in that direction for a while. I blame American zoomers.
I blame poorfag Russians. If they had a proper budget that could sustain a larger art team, they wouldn't always need the cop-out of using Wow puke.

That could be it too, but Warhammer has been adopting that sort of "cartoony" WoW look for a while now. It could be a bit of both.
I mean hell, some of the new Votann units look straight up like Starcraft terrans.
