I'm not the person to ask about the graphics design for BG3, though, not being involved in the design or development.


First of all, it means not looking like DOS1 and DOS2.

When you get that out of the way...everything else opens up.

If Larian says that BG were darker games...well then, you make a darker looking game (ever played Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Baldurs Gate, most of Infinity Black Isle Games).

These are games that have a darker tone to it...more sinister, serious look.

Larian games on the other hand, have a more light a bit funny looking look.

This is also the art directors and the game designers fault...because really come on...the game looks identical to DOS2, there is no denying this fact.
