I have been playing the game quite regularly since release and something that has been bothering me for a while now is that the cutscenes are becoming increasingly worse with each patch and I'm not talking about the bugs.

While I found everything fine in the release version, a lot of the dialogue cutscenes are now being plagued by strange camera angles and extreme zoom on the faces making the player miss out on a lot of the great mocap for body movements and gestures that I know are there.

Even worse, more often than not the camera gets stuck in a bush, furniture or behind a character's shoulder, blocking the view halfway or entirely. Also, the new zoom on faces comes with a strange, flat lighting creating a dissonance between "old" and "new" shots. The lighting in the old cutscene shots is a lot better and more natural than in the new ones. This is especially grating when they mix old version and new version in the same cutscenes.

On top of that, in a lot of cutscenes the characters don't have eye contact anymore which was not a problem at release. Now, a lot of times they are looking by each other instead of at each other.

I am not sure what they are doing to the cutscenes and why but it's actually making the whole experience worse IMO. You are often seeing less of the characters and the great acting than before which is a shame.
