Lip Sync

I am just wondering what others think of the new face / lip sync in Update 5? I am most interested in the Argonian and Khajiit, since those are my favorite races. lip sync seems to me that it shows to much teeth and makes look kind of odd -- It is very close being right, but I think it needs a little more polish.

Argonians seem to be clipping somewhat with their mouths, besides show a little to much teeth. Also, for Argonians, since they have such wide mouths (the mouth does take up most of their head), but only the front of their mouth is moving. Should they have move open jaw when they talk, instead of their front lips move / sync only?

Also, I notice they are more NPC that talk, but do not have their lip sync at all. They talk with a closed mouth. Has anyone else notice that as well?

ZOS does good work, but the lip sync seems to need a little more polish to be up to ZOS's standard. What are your views on this?

yes experienced this at the undaunted camp mouths not moving or moving like old Chinese kung fu movie lips not matching the speech thought that was funny. But was with red guard no argonian or khajiit.

I agree that the NPCs seem to look very 'toothy' now, Otherwise the lip syncing is a big improvement.
I've only seen a couple of argonians but I actually thought their lip sync looked really good.
Maybe depends on their head shape/proportions.
I believe they said that this is the first step in the process and will continue to polish the system.
