Best mount animation

monktoasty

What mount has the smoothest best feeling ride animation? As in...it just feels the best to ride. Looks may play a part..as in..if a mount has a particular annoying aspect while riding that may be stated please.

I feel like it's a tie between Senche and Wolf mounts for me. Both of them have a running animation that, at least to me, looks far better when riding. I might put the Dwarven Spider and Nix-Ox mounts in second. Both of those seem to move fairly smoothly. Horses and Guar/Kagouti are fine as well, but they both have little things -not necessarily animation related- that bother me. I'm not a fan of the default horse mesh, and I'd swear my Guar mounts get stuck far more often on the tiniest things. Camels are... Not terrible, but I'm not much of a fan of them. It feels like I'm riding on the roof of a minivan with one of them.

The worst of the bunch... Well, I feel like that would be the bears. Their running animation looks so painful I can't really convince myself to use bear mounts. It looks like they might damage my character's hips or something.

1. Wolf. My favorite.
2. Senche.
3. Bugs.
4. Horse/Guar/Kagouti. They are terrible because of slowing down, stuttering, halting. Hate them.

I like the one where, because of lag, you run along all by yourself making a clomping sound but using no stamina. 10 seconds later, you are running on top of the saddle of your mount.

Or not. Maybe they should fix that.

Running animation for horses and cats is stupidwrong.

Instead of just acceleration the gait, the gait ought to have been accelerated about half of what it was and the stride ought to have been increased.

As far as running on top of your mount (as mentioned above) - ya'll ought to try 'walking' on your mount like that, instead. It looks a lot more interesting.

In order of smoothness of character

1. Nix Ox
2. Dwemer Spider thing
3. Felines
4. Elk
5. Guars/Alits
6. Horses

From here it just gets shakey so much that I feel sorry for my characters. Odd that on the wolf mounts, its the character head that bobs up and down like a jackhammer, the character body is otherwise smooth
6. Wolves
7. Bears
8. Camels
