I investigate Mass Effect: Andromeda's unusual character models and animations. Bioware artists from the project have reached out to reveal their experiences and why they believe the game's human characters look the way they do.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the video! From what you heard, do you think Bioware management carefully looked at both sides of the story when it came to their importance of animating armor over human faces, or do you think management was completely dismissive of employee comments of the facial animations? Do you also know why many staff members left Bioware during the development of the game and what impact that had on the final product?

I do get the impression they were quite dismissive of concerns like that. I don't know about "many staff members" leaving, but I didn't dig into this very far. Just knew some artists who were willing to talk about their part.
