While preparing for her Rose of Kunark Expansion Review, Adele Caelia had the opportunity to take a few screenshots from the expansion for our viewing pleasure.

 

Check out all of the screens here.

Sadly the accompanying article is more exciting than the screenshots.

 

The graphical appearance of EQ2 is a mixed bag.  Some things look great and some things look horrible, and a lot of it looks washed out, flat and just plain boring to me.  But, this is just opinion.  I'm sure some love it.

I agree...and I play the game...but, I always notice that all the screenshots I keep seeing look like junk. The game is unforgiving when taking it's screnies, that if you do not have the visuals set more colorful, then the shots look just like the above..

 

And it saddens me, as the game look bright, colorful and attractive when I am playing...

Secret sauce right now is the 8800GT with 16X AF, shadows on and at least a 4x to 8 x AA, and textures at maximum in game...add a 3GHZ per core CPU and 2 gigs...well, then it looks incredible..

Check these as examples

There are more in that album...but you get the idea...and basically the images on this site look NOTHING like mine...hmmm

Cheers!

Yes indeed. if you don't have a good computer, all the screenshots which are taken by you wil be very poor.
