    I respect the constraints of production budgets. I don’t expect TV aliens to look much different than people with some crap glued to their face.

    Mass Effect at least branched out a little. But all of the squad mates were still basically humanoid. I expect they used mocap and similar limitations. Though it really could have benefitted from an Elcor squad mate.

      I mean… I kinda do… especially these days when CGI makes up more than half of your budget for nonsense reasons. Why don’t they try harder? They could and it would cost them zero extra.
