For me personally its also a design failure. They're using generic faces which look completely indistinctive and manikin-like, almost as if they're placeholders. I think they really need to scout for face actors who resonate or just put a bit more care into making them feel distinguished. They're giving me custom Mass Effect Character vibes
Meanwhile Sony devs have a pretty strong track record as of late for crafting characters that feel distinct, which also makes them easier to hate or love.
