So I've started playing the PC version of DAO with all the settings max'ed out. Everything looks great aside from some wood and stone textures that seem to be really low res and out of place. 
 
Anyone else experienced this or is it a problem with my computer?

I've noticed it too, I imagine it's just the way it was designed, unfortunately.

i hate incosistent textures in games. it pissed me off about crysis, when most textures looked 10x better then that of 99% of all games but some of the textures on the rocks and some other stuff looked atrocius by n64 standards.

i  can live with subpar graphics on an rpg because that's not what it's about. It's about characters and story... you know. Rpgs. Remember those?
 
.... probably not.

It's wierd in games where some textures look amazing and some look like they've fallen out of a Gamecube. I don't know the reason for it. It really don't look right when nice textures are side by side with horrible blurry ones.

The game actually holds up quite well graphically, but there are a few design issues as well - namely the static environment - that make the game feel a bit dated. "

Any chance someone can take a screenshot of this problem?

" @mhkjtha: Those aren't so good, the ground looked worse than the rocks IMO, there are worse out there though. Did you have all the settings on full? "

For a pc game, that's a first. I usually expected perfect textures, i'll still get the game tommorrow regardless. 
 
Hopefully one day they have a texture pack you can download and replace everything.

unofficial texture packs almost always suck
 
unless it's the resident evil 4 texture pack off course

That sucks but who cares? Its an RPG.

All of you people using the excuse of "it's an RPG, so who cares" need to get off your RPG fanboy high horses. Sure, there's more to RPG's than graphics, and arguably the graphics come last to story/characters and gameplay, but does that mean that graphics aren't an aspect of the game? Does it mean that people can't express their disappointment, or hell, even make a topic addressing the fact that the graphics are inconsistent and that there's low res textures in places? Stop rubbing your RPG e-peen's and open your minds a little.

Honestly. The graphics are pretty good. All this hate is pure nitpickery. There are some inconsistent textures in all games, this one actually seems like it has mostly better textures than many many modern games.

I think the people in this thread who are commenting on the out of place textures are not unhappy with the game. It perhaps does strike me as off however when they seem to stick out like they do. I will have to have a look out for them when I get it on Friday (damn uk release >.<)
