Wrath of the Lich King

A new continent was availible for exploration today with the release of the new expansion, and it seems very promising. First impressions are that Blizzard has learned some new landscape tricks (for example creating mountains with sharper edges, instead of the usual round shapes) and changed their landscaping strategy a bit (building very tall set pieces with layers on top of each other). When you get deeper into the lands, you also encounter beautiful new trees which are very highly detailed.

But one improvement I do not like, is the fully 3D wooden beams on various structures. The old wooden beams, which are simply painted straight onto a flat surface, do actually appear as having more depth. Even though the game has new shadows, the realtime lighting has not caught up to the old hand painted art, and I believe that is why it looks off.
