Bullshit sense, tingling. The fact they had to preserve the silhouette does not make this less of a chore than a new race would have been, it's still blows the efforts of a new race and starting area out of the water. They created multiple concepts and approaches for all manner of things before finalizing designs. Those new animations are done from scratch, just because they had an older version to base it on doesn't change that. They remade them as if they were brand new to look like they were created today from scratch, every running animation, idle stance, the way they hold their center of gravity and weight distribution, it's the same thing as making 10 brand new player races unless you're mired in the kind of literalist, binary to paper/rock/scissors thinking that is killing millions of our children daily. Think about the children. The children, Ielenia.
