Are you talking about the screens of the woman by the tower? Those screens are probably from an older version of the beta. Older screens seem have the Dark and Light logo with the shattered moon on them, while newer screens have no logo, only the copyright text and link. Screens seem to get published from both new and old versions of beta every other day or so.

That last screen is of a NPC, the face does have nice detail (if plain looking), the dress though is just plain, I presume because she is a peasant NPC.

hmmm... i'm really not seeing anything impressive about these graphics. with too many people on screen everything looks incredibly choppy (low polygon count). the best part of the game is the landscape and water. there's not really any innovation or originality in this 'real armor' that everyone seems to love. personally i love being in a fantastical setting when playing a game. what's the point in playing if you can't escape real life for a bit? i want plants and animals of entirely different kinds, exotic and strange looking armors with various colors and a high level of detail. speaking of detail, the models look great... until you get about 5 feet away from them. the variable detail scaling makes everything look horrid after even a small amount of distance. don't get me wrong, i think dnl is a great title that will forever change the way people view mmorpgs. no loading... one huge (and i mean HUGE) world that you can spend months to travel across if you so wished. this game offers the mmorpg gamer's dreams. the only problem is this: dark and light is tomorrow's mmorpg, today. why is this a problem? well, as is evident by the terrible distance scaling of graphics quality, today's hardware simply cannot give the level of detail necessary to make this game seem truly 'realistic'. by that i mean good looking graphics at any distance. conclusion: dark and light is a wonderful idea and will make a great and memorable mmo for all. it will go down in the history books as the first game in it's class and will revolutionize the market. (i myself plan to buy a copy and p2p). however, it's undeniable that the in game graphics will be somewhat poor, especially when a lot is going on at once. i've noticed myself wincing at the graphics that you all are proclaiming to be so great. but then maybe it's just me... :::: officially boycotting capital letters :::: |

I'm one for gameplay over graphics personally. Probably why I stilll pay to play a text mmo. I look at these screens and see some of the most amazing environments I've ever seen. That's one thing the graphics got goin on. The player and item models do not impress me all that much. But graphics aren't really a factor at all for me. As long as I can run it okay without suffering chop during large scale battles i'll be happy. The game could look like shadowbane and I would still pay to play if it was fun. Don't really see any swords and shields throughout my day so they fit into fantasy for me no matter the look. I hope there are tons of weapons to choose from each with their own unique properties and look. I don't want all swords and maces to have the same modal. I don't like that breast plate that has the dudes belly showing.

Well, the graphics aren't the best that will ever be made. But when you compare the more popular MMOs out right now with it, you can see the difference right away. We haven't seen much of the armors and weapons yet though, so until then, i won't judge the models.

Those last two are nice! The armour in these screens look pretty new, at least in the last one. Very nice.
