The Old Vic thread has been dead for a very long time, so I have no idea what people think of it. Now if I would at some point get a little time to mod (it has been ages since I did, but you never know), would you have anything you'd like improved/changed in an Old Vic like mod? That is, only gfx.
Honestly, I can't think of anything gfx wise I would change. In fact, I'm probably weird, but even when interface elements were slightly out of alignment, I preferred its look to the regular Vic2 interface.
Even the anachronistic sailing ships on the naval interface (when I have fleets full of dreadnoughts) felt fine.
I liked the "woodenness" of the whole thing. (I know that would normally be an insult to acting, but you understand what I mean, here.) It really felt like an antique office, perhaps where Cratchett or Scrooge would sit, plotting the economic viability of the British conquest of China while arguing over whether to put coal on the fire on Christmas Eve.
I personally don't care about the loading screen artwork, but that's not something I consider important.
Like I said, though, I'm weird.
