It's hard for me to take screenshots so seriously(at least the PC version) when those shots are scalable, according to the PC you have.  The only thing these screenshots make me feel is indifferent to the screenshots.  


Perhaps I take them too seriously, I should hope they are trying to show us how good the game looks. And most of the "consoley" screenies have been fairly dreadful. I want to be in shock and awe at how good the game looks as well as the game itself, is there something wrong with that? :?

Well, the graphics aren't going to be ME2 level, we can be pretty certain of that.

When they state how great the graphics are, and the 'gaming journalists' parrot back the same nonsense, you better have some Uncharted level graphics, or you better learn some humility and shut your damn mouth, I would assume is why people complain about the graphics.


I see them hyping the graphics in comparison to Origins. Not that the graphics are the best thing ever, where they've admit it isn't their strong point.


The problem is, outside of character models. . .ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's called hype

I don't understand, a little more depth if you would:
Why did that same hype cause blatant hate to fill this thread?

I meant that hype caused all the praise. When you see the Skyline trailer for example, you think OMFG.

Varric is being extremely indiscriminate about Hail of Arrows. I would not want to be in his party.

This game will be (oh noes!)



Where is my high rez shiny cheese wheel?! Low rez cheese gets moldy too fast and you know it!

The free marches will be so boring without shiny cheese, the thought of it is just…just.

I am not going there!



Go ahead Bioware, prove me wrong. I dare you.

Looks great, but bioware games have never been about graphics, if it hits the same level as ME 2, ill be happy

The first pic looks okay but there is something off with the second pic. It looks horribly aliased and textures seem a little smudgy. They are probably console screenshots so no worries.

I'm sure there will be some sort of Boo reference. I mean, he's close enough to a mouse.

Your preferences are fine, who am I do say otherwise(doesn't mean I actively support them, but to each their own). My only point is that compared to DAO, some pics looks better then DAO and others look about the same as a low res version of DAO.



I understand if you want to have that "Elder Scroll" feel, I would call it, when you look at the game, but then I would argue that your expectations relative to Bioware/DAO are to high, but then that is just my take on it.

I disagree. It's when we see something we like, as a group. Which should be obvious.

When the Destiny trailer came out, yes, hype was strong, but there was still a dissenting crowd with a loud voice. In the case of those screencaps, they appeared to be HD on a high graphical setting, and we were all happy to see them. The ones we have now appear to be from a smaller screen on a lower graphical setting.

Also, I don't like the HUI. I understand that it's that colorful bars won't blend into the scenery, but it's just eating into the screen, apparently as you raise your HP/Mana levels. I wish they were stacked vertically along the portraits, instead of horizontally.

little off topic but......I honestly do not get it and always wanted to ask......Marketing and Branding have a veritable gag order on the devs and we know it.



So.....uhm.....why exactly isn't there a simple rule put in place to veto any release of media that is not taken from the very latest build?



you know....so there is no issues with "sorry guys that was an old build shot"

I like the new look, I don’t see where it’s as bad as some people are saying. Though, I guess beauty is in the eye of beholder. Even if the graphics were not to my exact liking, I wouldn’t let it impede the rest of the game play. Some of my favorite games to date has less than sublime graphics and I still enjoy them. As I said though, I like the new art style.

Yes, all those high res textures and such make me curious.  I will be pleasantly surprised if the game doesnt have a lot of baggage with all those graphics.

I understand that the entire art direction has changed from DA:O and as much as I didn't like it, I am growing to like it but the actual graphical quality of the textures, the screen resolution is something that these gaming preview screenshots as well Bioware's own promotional material has been inconsisent with.

I am starting to think that the lower resolution/graphic quality shots are from a console version....they have to be. Not even a five year old desktop graphics card would make the game look that bad.

Actually, I would argue that those shots are in fact from the PC version, specifically because of how low res they appear.  I can make DAO(or most any game really) look quite horrid if I wanted to with the settings.  The console versions, I would imagine, are going to be a lot more consistent from screenshot to screenshot.

The mage is Bethany, the emissaries are 175% the size of hurlocks, and Hawke is wearing a mini cloak.

Edit: Use your internet browser's zoom function at ~400% to see closer, there are big emissaries.
