Photorealistic graphics in RPGs

Meanwhile RPGs:

I can't think of a single modern RPG with graphics approaching anywhere near photorealistic, unless you're saying that word with a very broad definition.

You can walk down the street in any major western city and see several people that look less realistically human than that.

AAA "rpgs": 120 GB thanks to graphics and 150+ hours of shitty cutscenes. Graphics and Bioware were a mistake. Voice acting was also a mistake.
Better graphics were fine; an emphasis on either photorealism or garish cartoonishness, in place of any aesthetic sensibility, is not.

And, yes, Bioware was a mistake and decline from the start.
