    Graphism allows to convey story and emotion much clearer. Imagine playing baldurs gate 3 with gta4 stiff low poly faces. The character would be much less expressive and thus emotions become harder to convey.

      My person in Chrysler, BG 2 existed and was just as expressive with just voice and still pictures. And half the lines weren’t even voiced.

      I think that had more to do with the whole eastern-bloc trope.

      San Andreas is even older and the story comes across great thanks to voice acting and good story telling.
