Agreed; Veilguard has pretty okay graphics. Not great, but acceptable - the high mark for me is BG3. But moving back to the earlier entries, they may have had stories that felt more 'real' (e.g., the setting felt more internally consistent) and gave more options, but the graphics and gameplay haven't aged well.

Similarly, Fallout: New Vegas hasn't aged so well. It was a great game, but it looks pretty rough now, unless you load it down with hi-res mods.

I don't demand photorealism, but I'd like better visuals than PS3-level graphics.
