It certainly does look more washed out at the start. That’s just the volumetric fog from the fires and crash site. By the time you get to the Druid Grove everything is just as summery bright and saturated as before.
maybe that's it, but even at character creation the camera pulled all the way back from the character looks weird.
I should probably just post pics, i was comparing the game to previous screenshots yesturday and just looks like the shadows are almost gone on the character.
