Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Loggos]

I really loved the old graphics, even with its quirks in certain zones (like inns), I thought that overall it was very nice and suited the game's aesthetic. I would have preferred to have stayed with it as a whole extending outside of the character update, but I know as questionable as the graphics update is - there's absolutely zero chance they'd throw away their work.
Since the original game graphics I fell in love with are gone for good, all I can do is direct my thoughts towards desperately wishing that the original character features would return - because I feel that even if I don't like how the world looks anymore, at least I would still have my character to enjoy playing with.
I think about this every day, I want to be able to enjoy playing this game again so badly.

I feel this.
The graphics update ruined some of my favourite zones. Ultima Thule always meant a lot to me. Sometimes I just spent some idle time there to relax and take in the scenery. The clear view on the bright, surreal planets in the distance was just stunning. It was particularly important to me tbh.
Well it's all gone now.
Not only are the lighting and the colours a lot less appealing. The entire region is suddenly filled with some kind of strange greenish fog that clouds your view into the distance. So you can't see the crisp and colourful luminaries anymore.
This bums me out so much. It's the final zone of EW for goodness' sake, one of the most relevant zones of the last 10 years.

I miss spending time there (and enjoying it) so much.
