The screenie is indeed very different from the early ones—if I can remember back that far, I had a nice moody wallpaper of a ruined,dripping grey castle in the rain, very reminiscent of Icewind Dale or BG2—this does kind of look more TES-like.
Not a complaint, tho—as txa1265 says, the looks are far less important than the game mechanics, story, and hopefully challenging paused combat.
