HotU run/walk animations

WTF is that?!

1st thing I've noticed that they fucked all up, when it was fine to begin with.

Run around with a sword the way that the original animations do...
and see how long before you hurt yourself.

The original NWN walk/run animations weren't pure motion capture. I
don't even think they were motion captured at all. The new ones are
motion captured... meaning that they captured the movements of that
person walking and running.

Personally, after giving them a thorough look over, I find them to be
much more realistic.

They are more realistic, in the sense that they'd fit in better into the Star Wars movie battle animations, but it does look a bit jarring to me in a cartoon setting.

Personally, I'm fond of the cartoon style. I would love to have my PCs run like the toons in the intro sequence to the Ranma 1/2 TV show.

Thank goodness Vicky finally gave up that powergamer character, Tehenen. If I saw her one more time at the Ice Caves, I was gonna throw up! Jesus. To go from level 1 to 5 in 8 months is just ridiculous. I bet she has like 4200 gold too. Unbelievable how fast she was gaining levels and wealth. ;)
