Before and After - Graphics

It's a real shame the entire Baldur's Gate was not updated due to the lost art assets, as I really enjoy the improved look of the new areas compared to those of the original. I understand some find the art direction blurry or smudged, and in some cases -like the vegetation- I do agree it could have been more crisp.
Still, here are two side-by-side graphic comparisons.

The new areas one can explore are beautiful, top-notch quality. I'll append some below. The level of detail and colour really make each location unique and pop with a story of its own.
So kudo's to the art and design team for that!
