Fictional face expression interpretation isn't objective I guess - I don't see what you see. And the arousement, are you sure it isn't wishful thinking?

I don't think the idea is to make the in-game portraits look as real as possible. I've seen some of the expressions from previous games and they're illustrative rather than looking authentic.
