I don't care about photo realistic stuff, but I do care about the mouth and eyes moving realistically (unless you are specifically going for some effect) and proper tracking. I want game characters that feel alive in all the ways my brain expects creatures to act alive, which I have yet to see done with most NPCs. Even key NPCs usually fall very short. Cartoons have done this for decades, but it's (relatively) easy when everything can be preplanned. This makes that easy whether you want to go realistic or not.
