Bioware, stop adding new features and do something about the graphics!

Apparently it runs quite well, it's came a long way from the days of Crysis 1 and is even used on consoles now. We'll see though.

New content needs new graph. The graph team will definitely be a large part of creating new content.

And I suppose all Americans are fat, us Scottish all wear kilts and shag sheep, the French are all called Renee and wear onions round their necks etc etc?

I'm ok with the graphics.

Kids nowadays have grown far too pampered by state-of-art graphic cards.

It is René.

And yes, I am french, my name is René, I smoke cigarettes, I'm wearing a black beret and I am the proud owner of an awesome moustache.

The graphics overall have been very good. I had some minor graphic bugs when it was first released...but nothing game breaking. But sence 1.2 I do have one which is very anoying and is actually a immersion killer. My char's eyes and the NPC ones look really odd in conversations. Outside of conversations they are fine. Plus I really donot see much difference in the texture quality of my chars with 1.2. And I have everything set to max, except for Bloom being turned off. The AA even tho I have it set to high cannot be more than 2x. Those are my only complaints and yeah...I did turn in a ticket on the eye thing.

You're saying that isn't so.. omg, I've been lied to

Hm. I know a couple other games that came out in '04. Let's look at KOTOR. Lets see, was there any real hair animation? No. Could you see skin blemishes? Only if you were as dark side as dark side could get. Were the eyes at all realistic? Nope. Was there any real detail in the armor? Not really. Were the models as smooth as they are here? No.

What about Halo 2? You know, not even worth my time trying to compare.

You're also confusing graphics with graphical fidelity. No, this game doesn't look like Crysis 2 or the Witcher 2. It's not supposed to. Did they achieve the style they were going for? Yes. A fair amount of realism without being truly realistic. Characters are proportioned properly, and the models, textures, and lights all seem to work out pretty well most of the time.

Not every game needs to, nor should they all, try and look like the next most realistic thing since the last. For one thing, it's starting to get played out. For another, it would limit their possible customer base. Third, with all the effects, it would probably fry a lot CPUs and graphics cards.

I agree it looks like 2004, hope the hero engine will get more graphics options soon and BW adds more detail to the world.
But there were some improvements in 1.2 already, hope it will get better.

Draw distance and shadow quality are still a bad joke

Agree engine is fine so are graphics.
