Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? (lemm.ee)

Finished my first BG3 run, man the acting is great, especially at the when characters get their big emotional moments. I'm thinking "that's acting!", also recognised Omni Man immediately.

Now I'm on to Alan Wake 2 and omg I can't take the dialogue and voice acting. It feels jarring. The prior game I played was Silent Hill 2 and I remembered it was OK, the MC was very chill in a horror game but its kinda explained by the story

Legacy of Kain: Defiance. They got actual stage actors and real acting veterans to voice a lot of the major roles in that game. It feels like you're playing through some epic dark fantasy movie because of it.

Also, it may sound weird, but some of the audio logs in Prototype 2 actually fucked me up because they did such an amazing job. The one that's stuck with me the most is one you can find fairly early on in the game, where a mom is trying to stop a government soldier from shooting her son because he's nonverbal (and therefore can't "prove" he's not infected), and it's absolutely gut wrenching. I had to stop playing for a few minutes after I heard because it was so intense. Here's the recording if any of you were curious.
