Yes, my brand new bosmer girl has lost her sway when she runs and walks, I noticed this glitch on the pts and reported it but I guess the report was lost, this is something that was happening there too. Essentially my female bosmers look like they are using the male animations. I really hope this isn't a "feature"

I didn't notice anything on my bosmer like above. Only thing that was happening to me was the constant unable to connect when I was switching characters.

It may not be just the Bosmer. I have a Breton who started moving funny too. Sort of herky jerky.

Thanks Gina!

I need to look at it when I log in later. I only did the endeavour and crafting daily so wasnt really paying attention.

Well, now I cant un-see the animation. I logged onto my Breton just to confirm and she is normal compared to my female bosmer.

Thanks all, we have a bug documented for Bosmer animations since yesterday's update and will try to get it fixed in a future incremental. Herky Jerky certainly isn't the intended behavior

Can we actually have the animations toggleable? I wouldn't mind having feminine animations as an option for male characters and vice versa.

This. I'd prefer being able to choose at will instead of being forced into one or the other.

It would be cool if they implemented the base character animation sets as equippable personalities free on every account so that you could toggle them on a character at will instead of being locked to one or another permanently.

Glad you're looking into a fix! My poor little Bosmer lass looks as though her undies are chafing as she runs along now.

Herky-derky indeed.

@ZOS_GinaBruno I apologize for tagging you again, but after further investigation and testing I did with friends I have discovered additional problems with character animations that extend beyond just the female bosmers.

I was right about male bosmers being off- it seems that their facial animations and body animations have somehow become those of the male high elves. Although the difference between animations is very subtle, I can tell my male bosmer mains face is not "sitting right"- one side of the face is faintly lopsided due to the animations being wrong, one eye closing too much, and the "grumpy" default expresson of the high elf has replaced the slightly cheeky look of the bosmer. Similarly female bosmers faces are also not "sitting right" and the expression looks a bit "slumped". (Sadly I have no before and after video to explain what I mean, and screenshots don't quite show whats happening correctly)

The running animation on male bosmers and male Khajiit's has taken on a slightly robotic feel- the hands are displaced, arms are going up and down strangely. Fingers are remaining extended and not bending or curving during the run animation.

On a male bosmer the bicep of the arm is clipping into the rib cage of the body and the spine is very stiff, Neck and legs looking hyper extended- the whole stance is like the male high elves, but not working on the bosmer body. Jumping animation is causing the male bosmers right shoulder to glitch weirdly, and the "stopping" animation when you abruptly stop running makes the trunk of the body lurch forwards more than it used to, while at the same the head remains stiffly in place and doesn't quite move right. All in all there is a really odd "tightness" to the entire chest/shoulder area on the male bosmer, like he's squishing his shoulders together.

The difference is REALLY subtle, and it wont be noticeable to someone who doesn't main a male bosmer, but its definitely there and it looks really weird, like his bones are juuust slightly out of place. The thing where one side of the face is a bit lopsided is really weird too.

Now, I don't know if these animation sets are shared across the races- I am guessing they are subtly changed for each of them, but either way something is really off. I'd bet there's more glitches present too that haven't been found yet.

Also if I play my High Elf for a while her lips start to slide off the right.

Oh no, that bug is back?

I noticed pretty fast something was off with the animations and the more I looked I was pretty sure my lil Bosmer tank had pooped in her armor.

My walking animation seems okay but the jogging animation definitely isn't as...nice as it used to be.

Still no fix in todays patch

Any update on this? I'm starting to worry that it's intentional..
