I am kind of curious how someone can say the cinematic animations are wooden, or unrealistic, when they were literally motion, and face capture...
Well, Larian just proved that it can clearly happen. First, I am not sure how much motion capture has been implemented due to covid. Second, your capture is only as good as the source material that you are directing. Third, if you throw random emotions that happen without context or is out of proportion (exaggerated) to the scene it becomes unrealistic. That is why it is an art, not a technique. Some less artistically inclined people would say it is ok, but it even so is still atrocious to modern gaming.
