"Andromeda seems to have lowered the quality of its base algorithm, resulting in the ‘My face is tired’ meme featuring nothing but lip-sync. This, presumably, was because they planned to hit every line by hand. But a 5-year dev cycle shows they underestimated this task"
The idea was to hand animate every npc of voice acting, when they started out.
They underestimated the time & money, and a deadline wasnt going to get extended,... . so they had to resort to a almost quick fix like solution.
A algorithm that does it, same as in the older games, but because this wasnt the "A plan" but a last resort type of deal, they didnt spend as much time on it as they did on older games.
Its just bad planning by the upper management, is basically what he was saying.
"It’s simply a quantity vs quality tradeoff" That they where forced to take, because they stupidly believed they could easily hand animate everything when they started the project.
