Looks like you like to wast your time in threads you don't like! ;p
It's almost as if I cared about the future of the game, and so about keeping the public discourse focused on what's actually obtainable.
And given that my government just shut down my professional activity (boxing gym) for the next whole month (if I'm lucky) I admittedly have plenty of spare time for the next weeks.
But the question seems right.
The "question" is not even a question but an impractical, unattainable suggestion.
Is it really necessary to have cinematics for all the NPCs we met ?
Why not? Given that they seem to have the system in place to automate a lot of it and it gives TONS of personality even to minor characters.
It doesn't even seems like it's coming at expenses of variety, either. I played with human, tiefling and drow and at times the amount of small differences was staggering, it felt almost like the a different story.
