Though im not interested in these kind of games because they make me want to violently rape people, that looks nice and i hope DA:O fans are pleased

 Horrible representation of what the final product will be? Those screens aren't very flattering in my mind.

Looks like still shots from early stages of development. Calm down folks, I'm sure the final product will be as beautiful, if not more so, than the first game!

When I first seen those I thought World of Warcraft.

New visual style? This looks considerably worse than Origins running on a high-end PC. 
I bet you there are two completely separate teams working on Origins/2.

" @Barrock: What's the new visual style? "

I think they had a deal with Game Informer to give them the first screens or something like that because these look VERY early.

What's up with that guy's legs? They are scaring the dick out of me.

" That looks...about the same as the first game. I do hope the final product looks sharper than these early screens. "

They clearly have not finished working with shadows/shaders, so I don't see why you are all complaining.

The lighting sucks. Texturing looks cleaner though.

I will say this: the main character can jump uber high.

Yikes.

That looks quite early.

Don't like the cartoon style in this or  Kotor online.

I don't know why everyone is so worried. Those look like a game very early in its development. A lot can change from now till release day.

"Early" a great code word.

" New visual style? This looks considerably worse than Origins running on a high-end PC.  I bet you there are two completely separate teams working on Origins/2. "

Please, please let there be no more Bioware face in this, and future Bioware games.

The squareness of the enemies is kind of a turn off, ogres looked badass in the first game, why change them?

It's so strange that they would take such a dramatic leap in visual tone.

Because you are of course already running it on a high end machine... "

I think he's just comparing these shots to how the first game looks maxed out. Which isn't unreasonable, since most initial game shots are practically target renders. "

Oh dear, this looks like the transition from castlevania to 3Dvania. (i.e. both games have nothing to do with eachother despite being sequels). 
 
Why isn't this an rpg?

Looks good to me
Don't know what you people are bitching about.

I highly doubt that will be final render. There is probably still lighting issues and what not. However, look at that character model, and the muscles on his arm; far more detailed then anything in Origins. "

Im gonna have to disagree with that. Several monsters looked a lot better, and people looked about the same even without viens painted on. "

See is pretty special coming from the guy who regularly hates on Wii games he never plays. "

World looks a bit bare, but its obviously still early. The first one looks pretty nice. Hopefully they'll add more than 3 different weapon and armor models this time around.

I hope that environment(or those bent legged, dumb looking humanoid things) doesn't make it into the finished product.

I like this ogre.

That you resent people who have the ability to play better looking games than you on their PC? "

There's is absolutely no way the art direction could be worse than the first one. DA:O was like they took the LotR movies, replaced all the clothing with ren-faire leftovers, then slapped a coat of slime on everything and called it a day. It's as if they decided that they needed to be more generic than D&D, and somehow miraculously found a way.

Art style or no art style, those screenshots remind me of the game Sacrifice which came out in 2001, both technically and artistically. Good thing?

Looks...awful, at this point in time. The Ogres also look alot more grumpy than they do intimidating.

I don't think it look nearly as crazy as Sacrifice, unfortunately. "

Alpha version? They promised "super hot" graphics on the sequel, this is clearly not it. 

I'm still sure the game and its story will be great but these images do nothing for me. While the new visual style of the characters is fine, the detail and environments are just boring.
 
Of course, getting held up on early screenshots is a fools game. I'm more interested in how the story plays out etc.

Looks like very early beta to me, and we can't learn much from this, like, nothing!
 
I think companies should keep their games under wrap right untill they right the shelves.
Otherwise, they get nothing but flak anyway, should be bloody ashamed of calling yourselves gamers with this nonstop complaining about everything!

Where are they?
