Personally, I don't see much superiority. In both cases I see end-90s textures and end-90s polygons. If anything, I can commend Valve for choosing to avoig long-haired characters. If Dr. Kleiner had had long hair (as opposed to his signature baldness) he would've been stuck with the same kind of weird blocky hair than our hero Gabriel Knight.

Exactly my point. It was way too soon for GK3 to tackle 3d graphics. It doesn't matter what engine they used. Its the sort of graphical harmony and polish that makes a game good.
