Yes, yes, I know, the pathing feature isn't even released yet, and some nut is already requesting a feature? Don't worry, I watched the video!
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here:

My feature request is actually very straightforward. **
And just to make it clear, I am not referring to object interaction** - I realize the devs said that very difficult, which I totally understand.
My request is this: Allow us to select a "Pose" or animation for different points in the pathing. Say I have a Senche-Raht mount, and I want it to sit like the bank guard in Senchal, or lay down in a sunspot. Or maybe I want an NPC to perform an emote, or set up my merchant as a dancer.
NPCs in the game already use emotes and preset animations, and it doesn't involve object interaction. It seems like a natural extension of pathing and something I have
sorely wanted for a while now. If we can't have object interaction anytime soon, that's totally fine. I'd just ask for the ability to use the preset emotes and animations for posing. The most complicated part would just be having the selection list of poses be limited to animations that are valid for that particular NPC, which might already be done game-side anyway.
So please, please, please, if you add any features in the future,
please add emotes/animation posing.
