Request for a toggle.

Rawgrim

That new renderer that came with the new patch kind of alters the look of the whole game somewhat. Makes it look rather cartoony. I am not getting the BG feel at all from this, and a toggle would be nice. One that brings back the classic look of the characters. The whole game looks like Ultima VIII now (that is a bad thing). Why change the look of the game in the first place? What was the point?

You can turn it off in options. Options -> Graphics -> Sprite Outlines. First thing I did day 1 as I don't like it either (can also turn off the greyscale for the world when paused).

I found the new outlines really jarring at first as well. The thing that kinda sold me on them was turning on the zoom lock (which sets the zoom level to 100% and doesn't let it change). After that, I decided to try turning on the outlines as the characters still looked a bit off to me in BG1. IMO, it actually makes things look better. But there is a toggle if you want it, which I think is a really nice gesture from beamdog. I don't like having the dark SoD UI in the BG1 part of the game, and the character record screen has it's good and bad points, but I hear that the rewrote most of the engine so that UI mods will be much easier to make in the future.

I did turn off the outline. That made it a little bit better. But the real problem is the sprites themselves. They look kind of cartoony, and don't fit well with the backgrounds.

This has been requested here by a number of people and it looks like it is here in redmine, so we need to wait a bit.

Waiting is no problem at all. Been waiting 20 years for more BG. A few more months is no biggie.
