[P] Hm. I don't understand the slop aesthetic. I don't get why companies are trying really hard to make thinga look authentically like AI slop. The latest entry doing this is Guild Wars 3. Now, fair disclaimer? I'm not a Guild Wars fan. I think it has some of the most bland lore, setting, and narrative writing I've seen in a game. It's no Elder Scrolls. But what onboarded people with GW2? It certainly wasn't the writing.

[P] If you're going to follow GW2? You have to at least match that art style. I mean, the writing atill isn't there, that hilariously mealy-mouthed line of "I can't pwomise you safety, but I pwomise you adventure! And I won't bore you with the details." was core ArenaNet bland. It was on bland for them. But the thing is? Their art now matches their writing. This bland, soulless slop aesthetic with no personality.
