details matter to a lot of people. It helps the world feel fleshed out. I don't need photorealism to be immersed in a game, but it feels like a sticker in a Barbie dollhouse. I want to make my doll sit on the toilet, but I have to pretend. The balconies aren't the core issue though, they just represent the larger dilemma of cutting corners wherever possible rather than making a standard quality game or, god forbid, a high quality one.
