Visually I think the game is shaping up fine.
Larian said they still need to tidy up animations / mocap. Hopefully that includes the jog animation and jump, which still bug me a little.
As for the colour argument, FR isn’t grimdark, but it could use a little more realism in dirt.
I hope characters in camp will be animated to be doing things later on. Standing around waiting for you you to interact with them isn’t very 2020. I would expect a mage to be reading a spell book for example...
I agree with toning down some of the action selections to not all sound as though it’s epic dash, epic this that and the other. For spells that’s fine, but for “normal” actions I would like to see simply stance changes and maybe a more restrained / subtle sound effect.
All in all though I was pretty pleased with the presentation, I appreciate there are those who dislike the TB combat and it does visually slow it down. I do like the physical options and mechanics it presents though. So pros and cons on that one.
