It evokes such a strong Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale vibe. I'm very happy
Yeah, I'm even more pumped than I already was!

Toss some characters on an already released screenshot, ...
It'll be good for a few years (and hopefully they keep the assets this time so can be reimagined in the future when we all have 4k monitors etc. )It is great to see 2d making a comeback, in modern resolutions it can look fantastic in a way 3d games never could.
Err… I don't think you've quite understood the images.
Then you understand it's not just tossing some characters onto a previous screenshot? The previous 'screenshot' was art, not an in game image. They've recreated all that art with the in game engine (and added some characters) that's the point.That the original was a conception piece of art, and the later was in-game footage of same art?
No, I got it.

You might not think that's very exciting, but it's good for us on a couple of levels - it shows that the in game engine is succeeding in creating the old IE style look, and it shows us that the concept artists understand the likely capabilities of the in game engine and are going to be creating productive artwork that can be translated well into what we actually play, making efficient use of their and everyone else's time.
