Nah, theres a certain way an RPG should look. The Baldur's Gate series had it perfect with the hand painted backgrounds, but that's all a bit too dated for some. WoW was too cartoony, while this and EQ are too real. Oblivion and Morrowind did well - non-cartoony, but the lighting, landscape, architecture and general appearence were very nicely done.

Also, for me, cities and towns make or break an RPG. Take some screenshots of those. The ultimate city has many different districts, including a dock and a market place, and a **** load of NPCs and background banter. Archetecture should preferebly be Tudor style, but it's not manditory. There should be a ton of taverns and inns, in which the sound and lighting must be perfect. Again, BG2 had it spot on.

I AM VERY ****ING PARTICULAR.

Thats a town in "The Chronicles of Spellborn" and it looks ****ing awesome. Its the perfect look for an MMORPG town. Seriously.
