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

I still really don't like the character art at all. It's too Disneyfied, too smooth, and the heads are too damn big!

The character art speaks for itself. The environmental art is gorgeous and it's a shame. Heard them years ago remarking about fauna when they were revealing sketches of Veilguard. Had a thought that it was concerning that they weren't gushing about character writing, choices, and things of that nature, but I brushed it off as being paranoid.

I've mentioned this before elsewhere, but I think if these key items were addressed, people would be less polarized about the game:

1) Character details needed more features, such as pores and more defined wrinkles. You could argue that this is moving more towards photorealistic, but I would say it approximates closer to Dishonored stylized graphic style.

2) Bloom reduction. Character faces DO have more detail when bloom is turned waay the hell down, if not outright removed.

3) Go back to heroic body proportions. I think this element alone is what likely drew a lot of critiques, but people couldn't quite place it during the initial preview rollout of the game. People are used to this style of body sizing, so it's going to be jarring when someone opts to go with the typical human body proportions most other developers don't bother with (including with BioWare's earlier titles).
