I mean the general color, lighting and resolution of the image.
I feel BG3 is way too vibrant with NO hard shadows (like 90% of games nowdays…). Light looks peachy and dull; everything is brighten up syndrome.
Yeah, I get that.
I think the reason why I might disagree might the picture you chose to represent BG3, and therefore your expectations for it. When I think of BG3 I think of:
not a zoomed up doll from a character creation and lvl up screen. A top down view requires clarity and certain amount of simplicity is welcome. There is of course, an issue of game putting those dolls in heavy close ups with cinematics. I don't think one can pull of both well. It's needs will be differenet from First or third person game. No top down game will remain looking good once you zoom in and scale things up. Thank goodness BG3 IS a game meant to be played from top down view. Cinematics remain a misguided effort.
