How does Starfield still have NPC conversations where they spend the entire conversation just fucking boring a hole through you with their stare? Can you imagine how unnerving working at the Bethesda Office must be? You start up a conversation and they head snaps around to stare at you like they're M3GAN?

It's legitimately unacceptable at this point.

I mean its almost a staple in their games now. They put all the R&D into the graphics and mechanics to the point they devs themselves forget what socializing is.

The problem is that man actually has micro expressions, moves his head and body around, and does not maintain 2 minutes of unbroken eye contact.

there will be a dozen or more animation pack mods up within months of release, if not sooner
and tbh, id imagine it wouldnt be terribly difficult to port the existing skyrim mods for this (expressive facegen morphs, expressive facial animations, etc.) over since it's running an updated creation engine

Bethesda has not given a literal crap about writing quality or dialog since Daggerfall and cutscenes since ever. They just don't. Plop a mannequin in front of you, they dump fixed exposition, you move on. I never understood why people like their games. They're broken and jank, carried by floaty combat that feels awful, with cardboard stories.

bethesda conversations/cutscenes are one of the biggest problems i have with their games.

that being said, real conversations, as least conversations i've been a part of, are not accurately represented by other mediums either.

At least they've moved past conversational situations like trying to sneak around and being all secretive just to be swooped up by the hand of god and forced to look into the soul of the emperor while your noses touch.

The problem is you can talk to their characters anywhere. They're not in scripted locations. So people can't really walk around while talking to you without causing other issues. So they zoom in on their face instead lol
