The thing is, many people bash the game because of it's graphics.
Well, I'm not speaking about you Xaishi, you're not really bashing the game...

But c'mon... how can you say the environnements int his game are not well done?
It's 2D of course, and the models are in 3D...

I'm beginning to think that many people say the graphics are bad because the only thing they can see are those 3D models... It's like they do not even see the 2D environnements!

I think the 3D models are good... not bad, not fantastic, just average good.
What I think is good about those 3D models, is that I can finally tell the difference about that armour and that armour.

In Divine Divinity, the Dragon Breastplate looked like any other Breastplate.

In Beyond Divinity, when you switch armour, you can see the difference.

That's what I think is good.

And also, it's great because you don't need the latest customized computer to play it.

I think people should start looking at the environnements instead of those little characters. Because in my opinion those are great. I don't think you can reach such level of detail with 3D ( except maybe for Morrowind... but not sure ). The imp houses, the ruins, are really well done. That's what draws me into the game.

And my Hero ( spear-and-shield forever ) looks fine.

Maybe the hands are a bit too small.

But that's really the only thing I have to say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

I partly agree with the fact that main character model in BD looks a bit horrible though game itself is pretty good. I hope character models in DD2 look much better.

About Dungeon Seige, I don't understand how you could think the female model looks like a male in that game. I've played it a lot (mostly with a female character) and I think they did a very good job. They even had seperate walk animations and bone movement for females. Or are you looking for big breasted narrow waisted females?

I did not say that the female character was awful.
I said that i did not like her and that i could not identify myself with this character.
It is why i could not play the game.
Being a female i am not expecting the same things than a male for my char.

For a lot of people graphics are not really important in a RPG. I don't think so.
The gameplay is important but there are a lot of very important things in a RPG : the quests, the graphics, the character development, the interface, the story, the dialogs, the monsters and the NPC, etc.

Speaking of not being able to tell sexes apart, I can't in BD, they both use the same head, hair, and with armor on it's almost imposible to tell them apart.

Hair or armor are not important. Marian's female characters are very sexy, i like them.

The other characters are great too, i really love the imps and the way they move, they are too funny.
Each character or monster has its own movement, Marian did not copy/paste his work, he has a great imagination.
I am really bored to hear people saying that the graphics in BD are bad, just because they don't like them.

And i am going to end to read the posts in this section. I am too bored.

It is not a joke.
In the real life i am not a sexy woman but I WANT to be a sexy woman in the game !


EDIT :
Valaraukar Crypt

==> Click on GFX
==> Click on SpellForce - The order of dawn

Look at the female elven ranger in her green suit (at the bottom of the page).
Isn't she sexy ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

You said they looked like males. I said I thought they did a good job of making them look female. Never implied that you said they were "bad".

That's okay.
Sometimes i can write wrong things because my english is not really good.
But i am not an hypocrite !

Maybe one day i will try again to play DS when i will have some time. I have still the game at home.
Maybe i will change my mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Many people agree with you and say that the Dungeon Siege's graphics are good.
I wanted to say that there are some people who don't like them as you don't like the graphics in Beyond Divinity.
It's a question of taste and not because the first ones are good and the second ones are bad.
