Not to contribute to the echo in here but I too didn't expect it to look this good. Then again I never had any experience with this Unity engine they chose to use either, so that's primarily why I guess.
While I need my turn based combat and my choice & consequence gameplay I also need the world to look alive. The game has to look appealing or I just won't enjoy it.
Overall, it looks great. I'm confident inExile can pull this off. Money well spent.
