I understand why people are disappointed in Avowed's art-style change given it was something different in the CG trailer but I trust Obsidian knows what they're doing, I trust Obsidian when they say they want to focus on their strengths and not chase after being an Elder Scrolls clone, I trust Carrie knows what she is doing with Avowed since it's in the same universe as Pillars, a universe she provided significant input in creating.

And lastly I don't mind the change because I don't mind the art-style, I don't mind a little wild colour, touch up the lighting a little though, I think that needs improving and we still have likely a whole year to improve the graphics and we've seen time and time again how big graphical updates developers can do in only a year but even then, look at the graphics in the 4k images and they aren't that bad.

But again I get the disappointment in people who expected something different art-style wise based on the CG trailer.

Also a lot of Pillars fans don't seem to mind, also I sorta expected it based on the description of Living Lands being a weird and vibrant place.

Its not just the change in art style, the game looks like it could be played on the Xbox one. Visually the game looks like it just barely upped Skyrim which is why I believe we see so much concern more than the art style itself.  Gameplay wise that is up in the air but I have much higher hopes that Avowed will be very fun the play but its not hitting any thing graphically coming next year with a lot more impressive looking open world RPG type games.  I would say what was really missing is lighting.  The game looked flat but who knows by the time it release all of that could change.  I look at how much Starfield changed so I am hopeful.
