I agree with OP, new UI is graphically great and smooth, but lacks of steampunk spirit (mini map does a bit) and don't match really with the environment.

Not complaining at all tho, just waiting to see and use it for real, see how menus looks and how customisable it's gonna be and after all should be ok. But from the few sshots we can see now, that "too futuristic" feeling is ticking me :/
