I hate hearing all the reviews about M&B Warband, saying that the graphics are soooo bad

. Well I say the art is more important than the graphics, the M&B world looks very attractive, the graphics may not be super, but the art over rules it. Don't you agree?
Example C&C, every one likes the older ones more, they have very poor graphics compared to the new C&C games.
People just got it stuck in there minds that graphics is a very important part of a game almost the most important, but it is not. The style of art is more important. Yes graphics are very nice but no where near the most important part of a game.
For me, the top 5 most important thing to work on in a RPG game like M&B is...
Note: not really doing this in order
1. Freedom to do what every you want with a mix of good story----M&B got bad story but good freedom 6/10
2. Very good combat system... addictive one------------------------M&B got the best one so far 9/10
3. Good art, attractive looking world----------------------- Good realistic looking better than DAO&Fable 7/10
4. Good animations-----------------------Much better than hack&slash like Oblivion 7/10
5. Smart AI, not predictable----------------- Doable not could be better 5/10
Graphics may be on the top 10 list but all the stuff I mentioned up there is more important.
