    Indeed. Today’s problem is that graphical fidelity takes so much of the development time and resources that the rest of the aspects of the game are completely left aside.

    Yeah, I can count how many freckles this character has in their face, but that’s all these games offer now, and I don’t need to count freckles, I can do that in real life. I want to have a good time with the game.

      Well, I am not even talking about the resources used but literally about the fact that you can’t make that many graphics because of the number of combinations of different properties you would have to model somehow.

      Plus there are some things you can describe in text that you can never portray graphically, e.g. concepts like “the most beautiful woman he had ever seen”
