I talked to the barkeeper in Starfield from the wrong angle and he only turned his head and it was very uncanny valley, because over the whole conversation I was questioning how he can still talk with a broken neck.

They might have fixed it by now but a certain little fortune teller has a very similar issue in an elevator in cyberpunk.

For a fortune teller, that's a feature

After helping him out I had a certain Ripperdoc showing which arm he operates with by raising it. Only his arm rotated backwards as if his elbow was turned around 180 degrees, arm clipping through his biceps.

But at least in Cyberpunk I've got the feeling that a bug like this is an honest oversight, whereas Starfield gives me the feeling that Creation Engine (2.0 these days?) should have have been killed, burned and buried after Skyrim. Each game since (and including) Oblivion I've felt like I'm looking at limitations I already noticed in the previous game built with Creation Engine or NetImmerse/GameBryo.

I haven't played starfield and don't intend to but I played cyberpunk on launch thanks to a covid scare and even on launch it was a good game to me. Had it's problems but I got 300 hours out of it before the year ended.
