You're right that the faces look better there, but it is more the environment I mean, where is that pic from if I dare ask? :-)

Someone on this forum posted it. Dunno where he got it from. It's from the Game Informer article.

You can see the dialogue wheel, it's mid-conversation, so it's a "cutscene" but it's rendered in real-time by the game engine, exactly like the shot with Morrigan and Flemeth.
Except it looks better.

That's what I wanted to; if it was real-time or simply premade.

So the mag one, an in game shot with the new improvements or part of a cut-scene?

Definitely not a cut-scene considering the dialog wheel that is there.

Well I have to say that looks 100% better than all the previous shots so far imo

Perhaps there is hope...

Guess I'll take the path of Games4ever and concede that I/we must wait for an actual "finished" in-game trailer.

So I'm the ONLY person who thinks that the screenshot in question is probably an alpha build and much of the content within said screenshot is probably placeholders that won't reflect the quality of the final product?

If you've followed EA games they usually release Madden style BULLSHOTS and the final product has LESS detail. 

But that was Madden and not Dragon Age.  But if you think the detail is going to be that much better, or the art that different you haven't been following games closely enough

Games that change art usually become big news on the blogs.  Like when borderlands went cel shaded

The new screencaps in GI still look like ass. I'm so tired of "artistic style" being used as a cover phrase for "outdated, ugly looking graphics." Coupled with all the less-than-thrilling things we've already been told about new gameplay, the focus being moved away from the Darkspawn, etc., I'm struggling to imagine what magic hat they'll have to dig into to make me want to buy this; and I loved Origins.



Very, very disappointed.

I guess we would need to pin down definitions.  I think of dark fantasy as more like historical fiction with a few mythical elements. 

That'd be low Fantasy. The two often overlap however.

So would you consider DAO high fantasy, even though it was not marketed that way?

I'd say Heroic fantasy, because they end the world's problems by killing them.

I would prefer a sci-fi progressive, liberal, dark highbrow fantasy myself.

I don't know that I'd call the DAO story that.  Even the epilogue says "this isn't the end," and there's no Hollywood resolution to anything, even the Blight, as we see in Awakening.

Getting back to the art style, it's still early days and the devs are talking in marketing jargon, so it's hard to decipher what the end product will be.  I just have to shake my head when I read phrases like "amped up" and "hot rodded."  What??  Are we playing a Dragon Age game or Grand Theft Auto?  And the GI article also says "you should look at this and think that's Dragon Age 2, not Lord of the Rings."  What's wrong with looking like Lord of the Rings?  At least the darker aspects of LOTR.

One thing I haven't heard anyone say about the new presentation of the world is that it will be beautiful.  There were some beautiful areas in DAO- both classically beautiful and, as in the Deep Roads, bleakly beautiful.  I don't know that "sparse and angular" says "dark fantasy" to me.  But again, this may just be my preconception.  What I would like to see is something lush, Gothic, nightmarish.  It doesn't sound like we are going to get that.

FWIW, I believe the marketing for Origins hammered home that Origins was supposed to be a "Dark Heroic Fantasy." I seem to recall an interview with Muzyka where he tried explaining what that meant and he basically said it was a mix of the low fantasy of George RR Martin with the politics and betrayal as well as a mix of Tolkien-esque High fantasy with the fantastical creatures and magic and such.
