We play games that take place mostly in fantasy worlds. There is only so much realism you can bring to a game when most of the objects, creatures, races, etc... don't exist in the real world.
For me the overall artistic style lends a lot to the feel of the game.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wind comes to mind. I wouldn't want to play that game with realistic graphics. The art style gives the game an immense feeling of awe and wonder, that just makes you want to explore every nook and cranny of its majestic world.
ESO would be a lot better if they just added some color. Then we wouldn't be having this thread. Unless its really about women with big boobies and sexy outfits.
Really if you want to play it this way. The west is smart enough to know the majority of computers cannot handle a game like BDO. So why waste time and effort only to cut off 70% of the playerbase.
And the west got WOW Legion...same graphic since dozen years ago
even celtic heroes (android mmo) has better graphic
You seemed to have missed the memo:
1. Gameplay/Lore/Optimization > Graphics. 2. Eastern Games are nothing more than Major Grinders trying to make quick Money. 3. If you believe otherwise, go back to 1.

im using gtx 630m (laptop) and can run bdo on ultra low setting smooth, 30 fps...
however i cant run witcher 3..... 5 fps unplayable...
bdo is really good actually, same level graphic as witcher 3, but lower graphic card still can run it
Yeah, I can't get on board with that. No amount of gameplay/lore/(Optimization is another thing as you want a game that plays well no matter what it looks like) will keep me invested if I can't get on board with the art design.
This doesn't mean it has to "look realistic". but if I am not drawn in by the art/design of the world/character's etc then I won't play the game.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

To each their own as always and I agree in a way
But for me if a game has all the good qualities the graphics do not matter to me.

We are talking about mmo's not pc games. If we were to use common sense and talk about pc games then this thread wouldn't even exist.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but everytime someone claims eastern MMOs, including BDO, look natural or realistic, a kitten dies a horrible, painful death.
No money available for the indie studios left that still work on MMORPGs in west to polish their games as major western studios have given up on this genre already.

UO is(was) an example.
When everquest was "big" I kept going to the video game store, I'd see the kiosk with all the expansions, I'd look at every one but couldn't get myself to buy it because it looked so bad to me.
It was the art design of Lineage 2 that finally compelled me to try an mmo as nothing "looked" remotely interesting.

BDO online looks great for fans of anime nonsense.... ESO looks great for realism. If you want that anime/kiddy porn look have fun in BDO.
.....................
And then you put your glasses back on, seriously what utter rubbish you speak.
BDO went for a more realistic look, a better example of 'anime' graphics would have been Wildstar, and, for all its faults, BDO is not Scarlet Blade, which was a prime example of 'anime porn' and made no pretenses to be otherwise afaik.

You mean, worse than "league of angels"?
I can't believe that there are people who actually play those games, probably the same people who pay for phone sex
Ugh those league of angels ads on the website here is Boobs everywhere, i once mis-clicked it and it opened one website with the whole thing animated and everything lol
