That's why you gotta pay them the big bucks, because they care. I'll happily pay them to do things right.

It's a very noticeable improvement in realism in games that do this. Quantic Dream games have also done this, even in Heavy Rain from 2010, and it really goes a long way in making a game into a story.

The game is so much more lively for it. Lae'zel's VA showed clips and pics on tiktok from the process, it's really cool. (Edit: @thisisdevo)

So you’re saying the actor who played Ketheric also stood still for long periods of time? Fascinating!
