I would be fascinated to hear how you would change the look of, say, the rock assets to make something which is CLEARLY Baldur's Gate and nothing like DOS 2.


The engine has NOTHING to do with how the game looks. Prey (2017) and DOOM (2016) also have the same engine and future-tech style (before the hell levels), yet they look different. Do you know how many games are built on the Unreal engine, for example? You wouldn't even know for most games, even if you played them, would they not advertise that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games

That's a straw man argument.
