ELI5: Why do video games today have very realistic looking cities and objects but relatively unrealistic looking characters?

Mostly because humans are really good at detecting imperfections in humans. Likely the humans in video games have much more detail and work put to them, but the bar for a "realistic looking human" is much higher.

This is something you can also test yourself! You can likely draw a mostly realistic-looking house with perspective and a ruler, but drawing a realistic human is really damn hard. Even drawing realistic hands is a challenge most never conquer.
