Dragon Age II screenshots... are ugly as sin
covah \| 7:29 PM on 07.12.2010	20 comments

I don't know what Bioware is doing, but this game looks really, really ugly. The second screenshot is definitely the worst.

Seriously, ew.

Excite level has gone down.

Just add lighting and shading effects and antialasing and it will be the best looking game ever. *MOST GAMES ARE BLURRY AND UGLY LIKE THIS ONE, if you just take out the lighting effects and shading, we're too busy boohooing about which console is better.

So they're not using the ME2 engine? *sigh*

The Silent Protagonist

Given we're talking about Bioware - a developer that cuts content to speed through an approval process, only to paste that content back later as buggy "free DLC" - should we really be surprised they release incredibly incomplete-looking screen shots?

When was the last time they released anything that wasn't a work in progress?

I could enjoy Bioware's games, but unfortunately I've played Deus Ex.

If bad graphics make you less excited about Dragon Age 2, you should definitely be rethinking your choice of games.

Ok? /shrug

Bioware... I am disappoint. Only if the game actually looks like like.

Snaileb

Sooo.. I'm guessing none of you own a wii??

Only half joking.

@Mark Oleski
Now if anyone knows more than I I'm open to being proven wrong but animations aren't entirely dependent on the graphics engine.

@prrulz
Who here is rethinking the entire game? This is about the graphics.

Tubatic

Homeboy's details are all over the place. he looks like a level 57 WoW character: His gear is killer, but the colors are busted by default.

Well, would be neat if it looked better, but I didn't slog through DA:O for the looks. Hopefully they do manage to add some shaders and whatsits before release.

As long as it isn't as ugly as DA:O is, which I'm currently playing btw. Don't worry people. It's just 2 screens and it's still production. EVERYTHANG GUN BEE OKAY GUISE

I skipped the first one so color me "who cares".

SAMA1984

I played games with worse graphics. Until I know more, I'm not passing judgment.

Trebz

I didn't get what was so "ugly" about DA:O. I thought it actually looked pretty good, aside from some blurry textures.

It's very much a work in progress and, besides, things always look way better in motion. Er, usually.

They look good to me...

.. even the first Dragon Age game was exceptionally ugly. It took me awhile to get beyond the graphics and into the fun gameplay - but it was worth it!

Am I the only one who thinks dragon age looks good? D:
