Here, in the Demo and I stress DEMO, the main character (Astarion) comes out of a crash looking pristine and Shadowheart already has back what looks like all her gear. Now we didn't see the tutorial, so we comment on this DEMO scene as being the "opening". But if we have just been through (proverbial) Hell, like Shadowheart puts it, make it look that way, because BG never felt clean, even though it is still High Fantasy.
Fair criticism. Some ripped up clothes for the start would be more appropriate and a dirty or grimy facade such as in God of War would be nice.
BG2 wasn't capable of showing the level cleanliness or dirtiness that BG3 can, so not that fair to compare the two.
BG2 wasn't able to graphically show it, but it felt textually real thanks to the painted look of the artwork and you imagined the rest when it came to inventory screens. Again Witcher 3 does a good job of making the characters clothes feel textually grounded, but again we are comparing finished product vs demo and D&D, even Baldur's Gate, has always had flamboyancy in clothing, style over function, but "personally" it could do with feeling/looking a little more worn ;-)
