A game like this, graphics are just not nearly as important as how it plays. Plus it looks a similar to NWN 1 graphics, just... zoomed in closer.

You know, for all of the Aurora and Infinity engine's limitations, they have a certain "charm" about them that - going by these screenshots - is not going to be replicated in this game.

Less is more when it comes to graphics, or something like that :(

I'm just hoping for a great storyline. It also needs great music like the original.

God I really hope they fix this walkmesh issue. It really makes me wonder about this developer to begin with, seems like such an amateurish mistake. If they destroy the PW community over this I can't see it selling that well.

im sorry, but i think the graphics look fine. do you really expect oblivion level graphics for a isometricish rpg? more than likely there will be more things on the screen at one time than in a action rpg like oblivion. Maybe i havent seen too many others but it looks to be on the level of other PRGs of this style (the witcher is the only other one i can think of that is coming out and it uses this engine)

Ugh, those screens just scream generic fantasy game. I'll give Obsidian the benefit of the doubt, because they are certainly capable of putting together a good game, but Atari need to stick to releasing only touched up shots of the game, because it ain't much of a looker.
