The pictures tend to be closeups of characters or things, with little to no backgrounds... While the pictures look good, to me a good background really brings a character to life. I kind of wonder if this was done as sort of part of the whole less fluff more crunch in 3rd edition idea...  Like they don't want to tell you that your fantasy world has to be like "x" they also don't want to show you that either?  Seems like in 3e artwork is used in a more illustrative way, as opposed to in yesterditions, when it seemed more like it was being used to set a mood?But then again maybe it only feels this way to me because of the captions people mention? So as opposed to my looking at the picture and using my imagination to tell me what is happening, there's a nice little caption that says here's what's happening! So the story (short as it might be) is told FOR me, rather then by me...Shrug. I dunno, I'ma just ramblin...</blockquote>
