      I had a problem with it the first time I ran down a hill and my character's legs awkwardly stretched out behind her. It looks pretty good overall when standing around on stairs or something, so I sort of got over it.

      Your character animations are modified (not in cyrodiil) slightly so the feet touch the terrain where you stand or run. So if for instance you are standing on an incline such as a staircase, your leading foot will be higher instead of clipping into the ground.

      While walking up stairs, you character will actually "step up" instead of doing the same animation as walking along level ground while floating up the stairs.

      You know how, when your character is standing on uneven ground, sometimes, a foot is floating on air? This system supposidly fixes that (I never turned it on).

      Except looking at the above pics, results can be a bit weird.

      I wish I had screenshots...

      But occasionally at the craft station screens my character will have one foot on the floor like normal, but the other on the craft station with knee extremely bent. I haven't seen this in a while maybe it was fixed :(

      It was added less than a year ago.

      Funny how Zenimax will put in the time to implement a useless (and VERY bad-looking) feature like this instead of actual QoL improvements.

      Not sure if it still does this, but when trying to level provisioning after this was added to the PTS, the cooking fire in the bank in Khenarthi's Roost caused my character's feet to warp up and into themselves every 4 seconds or so.

      Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.

      Then maybe don't make your mount climb onto jagged rocks? The option is mainly for immersive purposes with your player character, which works really well.

      Inverse Kinematics. Essentially a way to mathematically "solve" the position of legs and feet when on uneven surfaces. As described by others, the essential result is so your feet or legs aren't clipping through stairs or terrain when on hills and such.

      A number of games use it to try to make walking or standing around look more natural. It isn't perfect, though, and sometimes you end up with some mathematical "solutions" that don't look natural, especially on very unusual surfaces.

      It's locally rendered only, and you can disable it Settings. It was added to ESO earlier this year, I believe with the Morrowind chapter, as I remember seeing it while the Warden class was being demoed.
            In verity.

      it's a option in the options menu which attempts to add to realism by forcing your legs to keep contact with surfaces reguardless of angle or collision.

      The tech isn't really there yet, so it looks really *** weird. Dunno why it exists really.
