why do cutscenes have bad animation?

Just wondering why cutscenes in this game look like they are made out of flash or something

    Probably because they are quick to make which is useful when they need them every few months.

    Because it works fine as it is? Do you know how much work CGI animation would take? Apart from keyframe animating the character rigs, the environment, props, etc are modeled. New characters that would be introduced for that specific cutscene only would have to be modeled from scratch and then rigged to be animated as well.

    I think they tried it first for that Hallowed Blight story (before anything archives came into the game) and the community feedback was super positive on it.

    I would prefer CGI cutscenes for the Archives personally. I know it would take longer but I'm willing to wait as it would pay off in the end.
