I've played for about ten hours. Yes, the facial animations are a little crude - sometimes you can see what is behind them through their mouths. Not sure about the male Ryder model, but when I looked at the other options I was stunned that they were just butt ugly. Did run into one animation issue with Peebee being buried to her waist on a ramp, but it resolved quickly. I have a pretty high end rig running pretty much max everything.
Interesting though that on the Origins screen when I hit "play game" there is some screen stutter, but not IN the game. Also, the last time I fired it up there was a VERY long load screen wait.
I also dislike the inability to save when I want to at times. Only other thing is that sometimes the companions talk too damn much. I have to stop what I'm doing to make sure I don't miss something interesting, funny or important. Maybe 25% less unnecessary dialogue would make me happy. Still very much getting the hang of things, but enjoying the game a lot.
