Funny thing I noticed about Dragon Age today... The game looks better with the lowest graphic detail.
Seriously, I tried using the higher settings for a while, which I normally won't do since the game strains my computer enough as it is. The reason I switched back quite soon however wasn't the slightly worse framerate.
Gloss. Why so gloss? Middle Ages never looked this plastic. Sure the lowest detail makes it look kinda blurry and grayish instead, alike a PS2 game, but I rather take decent but old looking graphics than new and poorly executed.
The worst thing is that it pushes the character models right into the uncanny valley. Their faces look like rubber masks and the anatomy gets features that just shouldn't be there.
So hooray my less than amazing PC - else I wouldn't have bothered to check out the lower settings.
Anyway, has anyone else ever switched to lower graphical settings not because of performance, but because a game actually looks worse with higher settings?
