Lord Harkon the rapper

Post » Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:30 am

So I was watching Dawnguard gameplays on YouTube and noticed that when Lord Harkon speaks, the first time you meet him, moves like a rapper, shacking his hands and walking like if he was kind of dancing... It looked pretty wrong and I don't like it very much, since this isn't RockBand and he isn't Eminem. In regular Skyrim nobody have ever moved that way, so I find it strange and weird the devs added that animations.

Have anyone else noticed this and didn't like it?

http://youtu.be/n_K5Bn8zLs8?t=7m57s 2 - Again...

Also sorry for ads, hate them.

Yea I have seen this as well. Serana does this too, she shakes her hands and body like she did too much Skooma which drives me nuts. :tongue:

Much like the action of Serana interacting with the environment, this is Beth's attempt to make the NPCs more life-like and realistic

I noticed it, and I liked it. It's just that kind of animation that doesn't feel right with the series and the setting.

Varelica is the same when you first meet her. She starts spittin' a dirty one getting on you for being a half-blood/vampire hunter. Family of MC's.

I guess they're a bit over animated, but I had noticed in the past, that I thought the NPC's didn't move enough when they spoke. I would expect an eccentric person to use more gesticulation when they spoke. Lord Harkon is nothing if not eccentric. :|
