I agree I found some of the marathon textures goofy. I can't even stand to look at most of the ones from M2, I just play it in Mi. Rubricon was just more realistic in its approach. Utility alwas comes before fassion in reality, so if you are making a realistic senario with madding details like mice utility comes first. But if you are in a dream like in Mi or some alien ship you can blow utility to the wind. In general humans are lovers of bland drabs arciteture. An office is rarely very interseting to look at, but it serves a function.
It pretty much comes down to Art Deco vs. Bahaus.
Each can look great, but fans of one will ridicule the other. Kinda like macs and . . . no, that one doesn't really work, now does it?
