CDPR dev defends Starfield amid criticisms that its character animations don't match up to Cyberpunk 2077

Contrary to popular belief cp77 was a good, albeit shallow, game if you weren't expecting a GTA clone even at launch.

Cyberpunk oversold and underdelivered at launch. 3 months later it was insanely good, especially if you had a high end pc. It never sucked, the management of cdpr made a mistake, thats it.

BG3 is incredible, but I think Cyberpunk ties with that in many scenes (though there's much fewer sets of dialog). The rigidity of the dialog in Starfield is one of my biggest complaints, and that's coming from someone who really quite enjoys the game despite the many, MANY, things it could do better.

I love BG3 and I have nothing against it's animations. But what is it that you like? Honestly, I see a lot of people praise the animations, but besides a few scenes, the animations just seem "good". Not mind blowing, but not bad in any way. So I don't get that praise, but I'm sure there's something that other people see in it that I don't.

That being said the game is great. I haven't had this much fun since KotOR.

Good Jesus. You're delusional if you think a 10 second loop amounts to good animation. The facial animations alone are so bad.

I don't usually dig into behind the scenes stuff in games but I've been watching a ton of bg3's stuff. I didn't realize how integral to the development some of the actors were - specifically Neil Newborn, Astarion's actor. Larian seems like a cool company to work with...it feels like they really "get" it.
