I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I recall seeing NPC faces a lot more in game than I saw my own PCs face, even with helmets hidden, but it’s very likely that is just confirmation bias on my part, since I invested nothing into the PC appearance, so nothing stuck.
But that doesn’t discount your point, and of all the games I could have named, BG3 is probably the worst example.
It is confirmation bias. Every interaction with a companion includes close ups on the face.
I'm glad I spent almost an hour making Tav's face perfect.
It really paid off during that scene where he's eating Astarion's ass for 15 minutes.
Man, I get to build my new PC in a couple of weeks, and the first game I'm buying is BG3. Now I know I have something to look forward to!
You’re in for a treat.
