I won't say they lost credibility because of their "dire visuals" con, because I've heard many people say this game looks like crap, but I 100% disagree. Other than aliasing, weak character models, and subpar textures, I find the world to be beautiful. In the grand scheme of things, those 3 graphical negatives don't mean much.

My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.
