Sugar cane (that looks like bamboo) in Elsweyr looks horrible HORRIBLE

I know this might be petty but this is driving me nuts - there is this farm Merryvale Farms in the southern portion which plants sugar cane
And the sugar cane is basically just blocks, you know what i mean when you see it... you can find it probably in different places... but it looks like the sugar cane was taken straight out of minecraft or the first doom...it looks so bad and is triggering me SO HARD - it looks really out of place (and out of decade).
I LOVE the zone visuals but this sticks out like a sore thumb
Here, even minecraft uses individual plants

✭✭✭I'm not sure what you mean. Looks like sugarcane farms to me."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."1 -

✭✭"Triggered SO HARD?"
Dude, what in the blue blazes? You're comparing it to frikkin' Minecraft?
What are your graphics settings?
Cut back on the caffeine, or something.
It looks totally fine. Have you never seen sugarcane in the real world?

Carl-lan✭✭✭✭Yeah the ground intersection is too straight. Needs a bit more work to integrate into the environment and feel less fake. More detail around there would be good. Turning on ambient occlusion in graphics settings might help a bit too, if it isn’t on already. But yeah... does look a little sloppy.9 -

✭✭It just works.So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.1 -

✭✭Sugar cane has much longer, droopier leaves in reality. And fleshier stems (as opposed to woody ones).
What those assets depict is very typical bamboo. And not even high-visual fidelity bamboo, at that. Yikes!

✭✭✭✭✭To be fair, it really does look like blocky minecraft bamboo. Something feels wrong about those perfect rectangles.11 -

✭It's moon sugar and if you get too close to the plants on a hot day, vapours rise from these plants and if one inhales these sweet vapours, one's vision may become slightly distorted and things in the world may look a little strange.🍄🍄🍄4 -
A_Silverius✭✭✭✭✭They do look kinda bad.. it looks like something from TES Daggerfall or Arena :P It's probably done this way to help with performance though. They should've just made the moon sugar cane farms look like the ones in Kenarthi's Roost:

✭✭✭How they are attached to the ground it's way too straight in line (doesn't look natural - like a paper cut with scissors), and the resolution of each bamboo is low, yes.
This is how they look in real life:

That's totally subjective.
Obviously, plenty of folks seem to agree with you, but clearly, lots of people don't.1 -
DBZVelena✭✭✭✭✭ugh, you are not "triggered", you're annoyed. Triggered means you had a traumatic experience and its causing flashbacks. It's actually a very serious thing.
However you and other idiots use it whenever you're even mildly annoyed by something. Come off your effin high horse, its a game and the devs had their reasons to make it look that way. Complaining about it here will not change a thing but make you look stupid.What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

1. Obviously this wad meant tongue and cheek
2. If not the games forum where would you have lighthearted discussions about it
3. Im an idiot says the guy who immediatly resorts to calling people names he doesnt agree with...lol1 -
khajiitNPC✭✭✭✭✭Considering it is a fantasy MMO and the sugar cane are moon sugar cane, there’s no reason to think it doesn’t grow straight. I personally think it looks fine.7
