I mean its as good as any bethesda game on release in the past decade or so.
They were never good with facial animations you could see the memes of skyrim oblivion release to this day on yt.
i dont know why people expected better and compare it gta witcher etc.
The whole reason witcher succeeded so well was that they did all the things bethesda did wrong as right.
Bethesda has a single template since oblivion, like ubisoft all their games feel the same with cosmetic changes.
The biggest advantage they have is the modder community behind their games that always uplift them.
