Liking the atmosphere of the game. Just have the same complaint as every other next gen graphics. The over use of shaders on skin. It appears modern graphics like to portray people with oily skin.

From these screenshots i would say that it looks quite a lot better than NWN 2 .... I probably give most of that improvement to the artists/art director though.

not making a value judgement on it, but don't the characters look photoshopped into the scene?

I don't care if they are, just wondering if that's the case, or if it's just lack of aliaising. That little kid is hilarious...

    How do you know how well it runs? As far as anyone knows, it could run like crap. : valael
    - It was running well enough at their E3 demo, but who knows how representative that is of reality. : jake2000
    - Because I saw it running at this year's GC Leipzig. And it ran pretty smooth. : Anchovy
