This trailer got me hooked on MO. He was always looking for information about the game and his project hahaha. I was fascinated by the trailer.
agreed. I think Henrik said there will be many biomes now so everywhere is gonna look different. We will see how it all plays out. I do like the grim look much more as well...at least in certain places.
bright and friendly is good but the dark locations are too friendly right now. add partly distance fog, mist, sand dust and constantly bad weather in these regions for example. clouds could play a bigger role in coloring that means a gray tone when its cloudy and depending on the color of the clouds and daytime.

It is ok for mainland to look bright and sort of normal but other continents could go into darker moods just without making it like cartoonish fantasy.
Hopefully the weather system (from the roadmap) will help with that. But I agree I loved Mortal for the dark asthetics. The never got it completely right after beta though.
New players may not see rainbows and unicorns and quit, not consistent with the vision.
a rainbow once in a while can make your heart smile

Well we need to get the PvErs... the Sheep somehow to this game for us the PvPers ... the Wolves to nourish right.
PvEers and simply good PvE is the bread and butter for a game like this, it creates hotspots and activity for conflict to brew.
Hopefully MO2 will deliver!
That's one thing about MO1 I really liked in the early days, the grim and gritty look and feel. I wasn't a huge fan of the lighting, armor and character model overhaul, made things seems a little too generic fantasy with the vibrance.
I was a little disappointed seeing MO2 take a more cleaner rout, with vibrant colors.

This was the vibe that drew me to MO1
The realistic color scheme (not bright and colorful but not dark or sepia / grey) with the subtle aura of wonder. When you say "dark grim atmosphere" it makes me think of something a little too on the nose edgy fantasy, but that may well not be what you have in mind. The video you posted show Herabalter, and that should indeed be a desolate and severe place, which, I agree should also hold true for GK.
So my position would be to agree with you, for certain areas. For most cities, especially Fab and Kranesh (and Tindrem castle) I feel they edge towards almost cartoony cliché styles and wish they would just tone them down a little, and give them some more character.
I think the environment looks really nice in general, maybe a touch too saturated at times, but I prefer that to everything being sepia like in the Porto Majora scene in the vid you posted. (That old high contrast skybox was great though)
