More "realistic" graphics would look just horrible because they don't have the manpower to pull it off, it'll look like some baby's first UE game or something.
Stylized graphic is always the way to go for cheaper games, even if it's not for you, because I can assure you, it be a deal breaker for even more people.

I didn't like how it looked when they showed it last year, but now with polish and improvements it's look good. I wanted that realestic gritty fantasy at first but now I like the art style since the improvements.

It looks better than the previous gameplay but the graphics and art style makes this looks like a medieval Outer Worlds.

The Outer Worlds had good art direction I feel. Although, I play RPG for the actual game and never for the graphics, so I've never cared that much.
Unless something is actively repulsive to look at, it's alright in my book.

I mean, I play Euro RPGs like Underrail

And they even added automatic spell switching, dodge mid-air and other stuff since release... I can't find a vid now which was pretty cool few months back without that shitty music added

Where it’s at.
You know, when MS was buying up devs, I thought it looked like they were starting a white elephant preserve, and this show cemented that opinion.

When MS bought Double Fine, Obsidian and Bethesda, I felt nothing of value was lost to PlayStation, and I’m not wrong.

Never judge a book by its cover and all that..... but, this game was a massive disappointment for me due to expectations.

I was expecting Skyrim 2.0, as the tease sort of alluded to artistic wise, and graphics wise..... So I was expecting, like many, Skyrim 2.0 in a modern setting, perhaps more focused with a tad less scope (which is fine, Skyrim is way too big) but instead we got Sea of Thieves medieval.

What a miss from my pov. Nothing done for me with that trailer. Just looks generic.... specially the artistic direction. I personally don't like that artstyle... it has to fit the game imo, and it don't fit many games.

I shouldn't be shocked with how Avowed is looking. Obsidian stated in the past that this game was on the small scale of open world WRPG. Although, still was hoping for more visual pop. As it stands I think Baldur's Gate graphic is above Avowed's.
