Well listen mkay they are able to have FULL looting,pvp,economy,skittles,unicorns and what ever else WoW doesnt have. that makes up for the graphics
Im not the type of gamer who would choose graphics over gameplay. Heck I still play Master of Orion and Fallout 2.
Having said that, yuck Darkfall looks dam ugly. The animations are boring and simplistic. Given that the video is from 07 Im hoping theyve revamped the graphic engine but my guess is they havent.
Ive too often seen ugly games like Roma Victor in beta and they dont look any better at launch. Darkfall would need a complete overhaul graphics-wise for me to consider playing it. Ultima has all the elements I want in a sandbox MMO but im not going to play it and neither will DF get my money with such bad graphics

Yeah...I have no clue why this game is so overhyped.
I said this game looked like crap few months earlier. Poor character models, very outdated graphics...looks like a World of Warcraft gone wrong. In conclusion, it looks like another WoW-haters bandwagon MMO.
Got 11.5 million subscribers and growing? Pwn'd.
11.5 million and growing? That's like boasting about eating at McDonalds, loads of people goto McDonalds, we're going to McDonalds, pwned!
Shrug, serves the company behind Darkfall right for not releasing more current pics/videos on a regular basis to demonstrate progress with the engine. I hate when developers/publishers are tight-lipped leading up to release; it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
I saw the video I dont see whats to bad about the animations. With all the features that DF has, assuming it comes together properly, I'd take those graphics in a heartbeat.
Of course I still play UO about once a year too because I'll take good game play over sub par graphics anyday.....unless they are EQ2 models.
Here's my take, Darkfall is highly pvp orientated and they don't want everyone learning the game before it even properly releases, so they are are giving us as little info as possible, so that when we do finally get to play Darkfall it will be an experience like no other. A true fresh new world.
I bet this video is kinda old, graphics looked quite alright tho. Only thing bothering me was how the characters walked around, could make much out of the skills.
if you do think the graphics look crappy take a look @ the DarkFall overview tab(above...first 1) then take a look @ MEMBER SUBMITTED screenshots they look just 1 thing... NEAT.

I do hope it was a quite old video.
