It doesn’t matter what you think, it doesn’t matter what I think, it matters: what was and what became. And if what you first spoke about are unaccounted flaws, let's call them conditionally "bugs", then base animation of
running,
using abilities, banal
posture, character's behavior when it just stands still, and so on - was never a bug, but just distinguishing feature of specific race and gender... Therefore, replacement of posture,
running and... well, you're understanding already, aren't you? Replacing all of
these(EU-run) basic key animations is violation of original concept and no opinions in this case carry more weight. Characters had all features listed above (including animation,
basic geometry and set of
colors), and changing them is abuse of one’s position, elevation of one’s personal opinion over others. So, explain to me, how
it was possible to get
brown hair from "
black with purple"? What degree of color blindness this should be to make
such mistake. I think, there is no need to prove differences in animations, otherwise you won't be talking about some kind of "improvement". I'm absolutely sure that they
were able to repeat old models' animations, but they changed them. And if they would slightly tensed, then also geometry would correspond to its original idea (and not so that:
oval face was replaced - with a trapeze;
correct posture was replaced - with crooked legs, broken back and dangling straightened arms and fingers, as if they never have heard about tendons, which in a relaxed position bends hands at elbows and fingers at phalanxes like it was on old models).
(Note: almost all pictures aren't mine, I used warlock's set, that was on EU-forum)
I have given frequent examples now, but there were so many of them, that it can safely be said that there is complete discrepancy with original concepts. I spoke (in previous message) in generalized manner, not specifically considering worgens. Just basic approach to work, some principle. As for worgens, I didn’t have any of them, but judging by everything, at least even if taking just this topic - animations are different. What follows from this (as stated above)?
There is nothing good in it = this is unauthorized replacement, but not an improvement.
