As stated, those are video screen-shots. However I should clarify this further:

Those are video screen-shots of a development build and are several months old (those videos were shown at E3).

Thus character models and such are NOT finished in those videos. Even at high resolutions, the screen-shots are not going to be that great as the videos suffer due to compression.

Another point regarding character models: according reports that I have seen in various gaming magazines and from BioWare, they are not going for "realistic models". Instead BioWare is leaning more toward the WoW route with a slightly "stylized" look though not as "cartoony" as WoW's models. This will allow SW:ToR to run on more main stream systems. Bioware is not going to restrict SW:ToR to those who can afford uber systems. While some "hard-core" gamers who have such uber systems may not be happy, it does not make any sense for BioWare to restrict their MMO to such a small market (yes, those with the uber systems are a small market despite what you and your e-peen think). BioWare is a business and it's in their best interest to get as many players into their MMO as possible. Besides, it's not realistic graphics that counts, it's the story, gameplay, community and such that keep people coming back for more. This is the secret to WoW's success despite what the vocal minority would have you believe.
