I personally can't get over the amazing texture resolution on the right hand side.

I dont care a bit. Or i rather dont worry about it. Pretend that you can see the gameplay as clearly as the graphics in other MMOs.......then you would also stop caring. Just look at some of the best looking MMOs out there. If we say that DF have 5/5 in graphics and gameplay. What would AoC and WoW get? |

You know this thread wasn't needed Opium. But that's beside the point. I'm shocked to see what appears to resemble some stone texture off to the left hand side. Grab a simple rock texture photo from the net, resize it to 256x256, open it up in crazybump or mapzone and you can create a more realistic looking texture. It very well could be messed up due to whatever conversion they use for SS's in the game. Nevertheless it looks bad. Hey, didn't they say thier AI resembles Quake AI. Not that Quake Ai was any good, heh. |

Hate to break it to you but part of good gameplay IS graphics. I used to play Asheron's Call back in the day and it had some of the best gameplay ever. Would I play it now? Hell no. Does anyone play it now? Hell no. Because the graphics are terrible and totally ruin any feeling of immersion. |

I agree with you that DF has good, sometimes great graphics.
eg: compare your OP screenshot to this one from AoC. i especially like the ground texture.

It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a viking to raze a village! |
Honestly, they're okay, but certainly not the best of any MMO. On the other hand, I'm not sure the DF devs set out to make the best looking graphics. What they have here is adaquate IMO -- not cutting edge, but probably middle of the road for current MMOs. There's no sense in getting all worked up and saying the graphics are the best or worst ever. Neither of those statements would be true.
