I mean even the belt alone is such a huge difference.....The level of detail really blows me away....but Bioware decided that everyone should look like their clothes are painted on and someone threw water on them.... I just dont see how you can think the game looks good lol.. Couldn't agree more. I really like that "painted on and someone threw water on them" comment... that's 100% what it looks like.

It's amazing to me how one person will make a wildly inaccurate statement about something, and then it perpetuates into this mass of blatant ignorance. Being able to take a base platform and customise it is the definition of an engine, surely?

Anyone even notice bloom does nothing when its on except drop your frames? I just don't get it. Even on absolute max with AA and all settings on high this game looks worse than GW1 and that came out....how many years ago? Is there any way to make this game visually appealing? Tweaks, workarounds, secret amazing settings or something? I dont like the artwork either, but it doesnt mean the quality is so terrible. The rock textures for example look quite nice with all graphical enhancements turned on. Same goes with the most NPC faces (though from neck down it's just a terrible mess of random pixels). It is also known that Hero engine is capable of producing quite stunning scenes when used properly so there is probably a lot that BW can improve on once all the game breaking bugs have been put to death. That all said. Most people I see complaining here seem to be unable to distinguish bad quality/outdated graphics from art style they dont like. Dont be one of them...

I suppose i should upgrade to the same PC you have then, since it's obviously able to display ultra high quality textures everywhere, while the rest of us poor souls is stuck with a blurred out mess outside of cutscenes.

I quite like the style and look of the game. The environments look very good. I was amazed how interesting Hoth and Tatooine looked, despite the fact that they are just barren deathtraps devoid of life. I'm just incredibly frustrated to see the great art design go to waste on a very important part of an MMO... the way your characters equipment looks.

Just look at this blurred out mess. I don't know how anyone can stand it. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/2...0111normal.jpg

So your comparing one game that came out in 05(ish) with gfx from 1998, with a game that came out in 2012, that has the gfx of a 2005 game..... Wow had and has TERRIBLE graphics. It was years behind when it came out. Someone i believe said AoC has bad graphics? lmao To this day aoc is probably in the top 5 best graphics in a mmo. FFXI if you go in and change the screen resolution on it is better then tor, lol, that was what, 2001 in jp? It is so old you have to manually put your screen resolution in because its not set to default the normal pixels games use now days. I have watched videos on youtube of GW2 footage, a 2012 mmo, on 360p that look leagues better then swtor. I like the game, the game play is ok, but graphically, it is extremely dated in all aspects.

I am pretty unhappy with the texture resolution situation, but I actually think the world looks quite nice. And the art direction is great IMO.
