Baldur's Gate 3 used motion capture from 248 actors to bring its NPCs to life: 'You’re not only hearing the actors' voices, but you’re also seeing their physical performances'

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!
