Crossed-poly trees are ugly!
EQ2 has very nice water, but the trees and land... not so good.
And yes, obviously EQ2 is a more powerful engine, that's impossible to deny... and the game doesn't look hideous or anything, it just looks like 'bland semi-realistic fantasy', like they're trying to make that fantasy world look like a real one but stopped partway... the overall look is just not good. Give me a consistent and artistically beautiful game like WoW anyday.
On a similar vein, the graphics in Rayman 2 impressed me a whole lot more than plenty of games that are a lot newer...
Oh, and I never mentioned technical graphics as the basis for the arguement, OB1 did... I've been saying the exact opposite since the beginning, you know...
