Blizz always tries to make their games beautiful but not super-high-spec, so that someone with an average machine can play it decently. They need to to hit the mass market that they do with their games...
As for art, some of my favorites are Rayman 2 on cartoonish (that games' graphics impressed me a lot...) and Disciples 2 (yes its 2d and I mention it often but the artwork in that game is just so amazing...). :)
Ugly terrain.

Not to mention that awful giant tree in my last post.
And the characters are high-poly but they look... I don't know... shiny? Not realistic. Like they're going for realism but made them look plasticy. Blizz's look a lot more like real things (for the world they are in), and always seem to 'fit'... oh the EQ ones fit their world I'd say but that's because the world isn't exactly made up of great art either. :)
