Running Animation

Ok so I know that sometime in the near future ZOS is going to update the skill and weapon animations. That is awesome especially because the staff animations look kind of weird.
However, I was wondering if the running and walking animations are going to be updated also. They both don't look quite right, but the running animation looks really awkward. Just something about it. Maybe its that the character doesn't bob up and down naturally or that the hips and thighs just stay i place but it looks very unnatural. Also the feet just kind of fly upward with no sense of pushing forward.
Anyway, if @ZOS_GinaBruno or @ZOS_JessicaFolsom could say whether they will be getting some updates as well? What are other's thoughts on this?
Thanks

jeevin✭✭✭✭✭Totally with you on this one. The running animations in particular are so wooden. Horse animations need a looksy too

✭They changed the run animation in 1.5. Now bosmers move like big burly wrestlers instead of small lithe elves.......2 -
DragonWitch✭✭What would be really nice is if you walked differently depending on your race or physical build (or class?)
Meaning, a medium armour night blade/elf/person of light or muscular build would probably walk differently than a heavy armour dragon knight/Orc/huge fat guy. From the many many books I've read, nightblades would probably more walk on their toes? Or when sneaking, step toe-to-heel? (I don't know if they already do this)
A skinny elf would probably more skip across the ground than land heavy footsteps like a big burly nord....
Does that make any sense at all?And you're Kruppe. You must be - who else in this city tries to eat with his nose when his mouth is filled?

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.2 -

✭I would say that male walking is the worst of them. I´d also like to see adjustable walking speed to match my walking speed to fit my character or the distance i will travel.
Especially tallers characters look too lazy when walking, even while the speed is always the same it feels like crawling if character is taller.. Best results in my opinion are when characters are shortest, exeption being Bosmer

It makes sense. So long as we don't get STO's "squirt gun" run or Bioware's Lizard Run animation for female characters, it'd be a good idea.1 -
jackleminer55✭✭✭@kazeweaver first of all, the team that would work on fixing the keep doors would not be the ones that changed the animations. They are two completely different jobs. Also, I am not saying that the animations are more important than mechanics like that, I was just giving a suggestion.

I've never seen those, but I'm gonna trust you and say, I hope we don't either

Star Trek Online got a new run animation... about two and a half years in, where whenever your female character tried to sprint, she'd arch her back weirdly and wave her arms around wildly as she ran.
Bioware has a female run animation in DA2 and ME3 where the character's whole body kinda sways like a lizard.2 -
