Now that the games been out for a while, how are you feeling about the art style BioWare chose for V

Picked don’t like the character art but love the environmental art. Not a fan of the Disney look for many of the companions. Hope they don’t go with that style again. Environments look fine.

I'm having trouble with this. Maybe it's because I'm running at low settings on a potato, but I'm not really seeing much difference between DA:I and DA:V character designs. And a lot of the environmental designs strike me as being outright recycled.

Now I will say that this strikes me as a little odd, because I agree when it comes to Cassandra....

But yet for Inquisition it didn't seem to universally work like this. Bull was pretty much fine, Solas, Dorian...but then Leiliana and Cullen and Josie and Varric and Harding (especially noteworthy given the glow up) all looked like invasion of the potato people. So it just seemed the characters had a very wide variety of quality put into it. 

Veilguard they all universally look good and consistent...well at least imo.

I will admit with the charged environment around here in either direction think its hard to say anything negative about either Veilguard or Inquisition without a lot of assumptions being made. But yeah while its a criticsm its not that bad, Inquisition had a fine artstyle, which Veilguard seems to have improved upon. 

Actually on this subject to one thing I do want to call out something about the camera angles or the environment everything feels so much closer and more intimate then in Inquisition. Maybe that's an effect of not being an 'Open World' but I love it. 

Needs more nuance. I voted "Hate the character design, loved the environmental design".
While in reality it's dislike the NPC character design, hate the enemy design and am OK with environmental design.

what i don't like are the faces. The rest of the body is ok for me, not much important

Some faces are even OK (Harding) but most of them seem too flat, without details.

I wasn’t too keen on the art style of the characters, but If I’m honest, I stopped thinking about it surprisingly quickly. In fact, it kinda reminded me of DAO.

Most Bioware games outside of Mass effect tend to have good design but ugly graphics. This game has good graphics but ugly design. Many aspects of this game feel like opposite world

Presonally I'm fine with it I thought it looked strang ea tfirst but it's kind of grown on me since then.

Outdoors environment, like Arlathan: Gorgeous, vibrant, really great high fantasy color palette, and visual effects
Indoor/City environment: Bland, plastic, lacks detail and "lived in feel"
Character/Creature models: Poor, childlike proportions, borderline caricaturish, immersion breaking ( most of Grey wardens look like children)
Armors/Outfits: Abysmal, awful color composition, impractical, excessively bloated. Tbh, possibly the worst I've seen in this type of game.

1) Character design
It is not the style per se, I actually like the way faces look like - this weird inbetween realistic and cartoonish. My problem with the character design across the board is that it is simply way. too. busy.

At one point, you're gonna have to put that pen down - not every top and bottom needs all the pouches and trinkets and patterns you can think off. Just. Calm the hell down

This becomes perfectly obvious in the Grey Warden styles versus literally anything else in the game. I have always loved it from DA2 forward and it does still have that same vibe fortunately, except now it is weirdly out of place versus the busy mass of geometry and trinkets and accessories and layers of adornments on literally anything else.

2) Locale design
The level layout is good enough at the worst, and DS style "no shit!" quite often. The design visually is beautiful and creative, specifically Arlathan just keeps on giving (the "busy-ness" works here to make it look more dreamy and exotic).
Necropolis is too much. It doesn't work for me. Every time the game switches to the Nevarra palette, I sort of check out of playing DA, and something else instead. The entire neon green / dark grey / death-skull-things seems oddly cheap and unimaginative compared to other things in the game.
Then you have places like Hossberg again, or every stint over to the Deep Roads/mountains so far, which totally brings me back.
