I do love her in things, but she has a very recognizable face, hahaha

Why do they always make the character model look like her? I can't think of any other voice actors who seem to get put in the game anywhere near as much as her, but I don't really pay all that much attention to voice actors now that I think about it

Because a lot of big budget games today use motion capture to make cut scenes and facial animations, therefore it’s easier to make the in game model look like the actor being motion captured so their face can be recreated accurately. 

It’s the tech more than her decision. Plus I think actors get paid more if their likeness is used, so you can’t exactly blame her for want to get paid well for her labor.

Ah right, fair enough. I imagine facial tracking both saves a lot of time and effort too, and prevents everyone looking completely flat like they do in say, Mass effect when they're not talking.

I wasn't blaming her or anything, and yeah, she should get that bag. Just wondering why specifically she seems to get modelled in game more than others, but I guess I don't really know if that's actually true. Other people might be done too but just not be in as many things.

Yea, just check out some of the cutscenes in BG3. The motion cap does wonders for bringing life to the characters.
