Faraam is one of my favorite designs in dark souls but certainly not for it beeing realistic.

Meanwhile original sin 2s Human heavy armor is besides a few exceptions based on actual Renaissance (parade) Armor.

And i quite frankly want to know where those standards come from.
Dark Souls protagonists would be pretty out of place int he wacky parade that is Forgotten Realms.

BG3s armor sets also arent particulary realistic right now, but they reflect the source material and thats what they are supposed to do.
Its no supposed to be grimdark or soulsesque, its supposed to be a Forgotten Realms adventure romp.

Id certainly but up for a high fantasy game with Dark Souls aesthetic, but i you cannot realy blame Larian for not going there
Maybe in a Ravenloft game


Are you really like that or are you doing it on purpose ?

Where the hell did he ask dark souls aesthetic ? He gives exemple to try to explain to poeple really not open minded what he mean.
Seriously, you don't understand what "less cartoony" means ?
Do you want other exemple for you to understand the concept ?
