And claiming the game needed it, seems odd to me.
A story of political intrigue, genocide, sex and hard moral choices with life and death consequences doesn't need realism?

To me the setting is irrelevant. The themes are what dictated the style.

Do you believe any game needs realism in graphics, or should they all look stylized regardless of the game's content?
