The people look atrocious, how are people saying "this looks great" lol

I think these people are just so accustomed to garbage.

"Oh it's a big game so the animations have to look like shit"

Assassins Creed Odyssey came out 5 years ago and the difference in basic cutscene animations looks like the difference between a second year animation student and a 20 year industry vet. And--gasp--Odyssey is a huge game. I don't even like the Assassin's Creed games and I can recognize the difference between the solid yeomen work Ubisoft Quebec put in compared to the utterly jarring product Bethesda has shit out once again. I can't understand how you can put so much work creating these strong textures and detailed 3d models but just fucking punt on the aspect of animation that is most recognizable and innate to our perception--human like movements and behavior.

Humans have evolved to perceive and observe each other's faces and movements to such a precise level as to detect changes in mood through microexpressions alone, yet Bethesda's approach to humans in their games is "Lol whatever as long as it makes unflinching eye contact and occasionally waves a hand it's good enough!"
