Maybe the Frostbit engine is good for making environments and bad at faces and the REDengine was made specifically for The Witcher 3?

I remember in the DA:I thread people were posting deliberately low-resolution low-fidelity screenshots of the characters in a bizarre attempt to slander the game before it came out

Literally posting grabs from the game itself IE stolen artwork or gifs made from their own promotional material

Also please explain to me how I enable and disable facial animations in graphics settings

In an ideal world maybe Bioware can rent out the REDengine or use the Unreal engine like they did with the original trilogy

But they are owned by EA

edit:

Would CDProject Red even rent out REDengine to other developers?

You can watch the scenes in motion already and it really isn't. The problems with the animations tend to happen too fast to be noticeable if you ask me, at least not beyond whatever jankyness you'd get simulating a human being.

You had some explosive mouths in DA:I too and they almost always preceded a crash so probably not intentional

If you loop it at the specific part, then yeah it is probably going to be noticeable

Who is everyone, besides CDProjekt? (and Horizon, if people want to consider that an RPG, it's not really comparable in scope)

GTA? Not really an RPG, but it is open world. You've also got Farcry and Assassin's Creed, which both have RPG elements and are open-world in nature.

I asked if it was frustrating to spend 5 years on a video game, toiling away, putting their hearts and souls in to characters, gameplay, story and environments, just to have fans explode with negativity about Sarah Ryder's face, and they almost unanimously said "yes" or "I avoid the internet for these reasons" Keep in mind the devs are people too, guys.

Have... have you been reading this thread? This is way beyond mocking something because it's funny.

Now, most of that is because there's just nothing going on, but I figured that's what the Trump Administration thread in D&D was for.

The alien babes can also suck it, but I'd probably be playing a girl since everyone loved Femshep so much.

People loved Femshep because she had an amazing voice actor and was a strong female protagonist at a time when that wasn't really A Thing

now every game has a strong female protagonist and sara ryder's voice actress sounds like a little girl they found wandering the halls of their offices.

Also you're telling me what the plot is, I'm telling you that the central fantasy of the game, a big attraction of the game, is playing as Geralt, kinda like how a big attraction of the ME games was playing through the fantasy of Shepard.

technically both of them were entwined by fate but w/e

geralt is such a macho guy he gets owned by his daughter in ice skating and snowball fights

also almost everybody makes fun of him and its hilarious because the game every now and then goes off its way to subvert the whole "badass male lead"
