The only problem I have with the looks/graphics is the swimming. It is difficult to manipulate (I don't mean dealing with the currents) and looks stupid. In this regard it is far worse than wow. I also liked wows emotes better. However, in every other detail vanguard's graphics are better.
One suggestion devs - change character creation to allow for making old looking characters. I'd like to be able to create an old wizened wizard, not just a 21 yr old with white hair.
