I really think that is one of the things lacking in skyrim, animations. You see all these NPCs warming their hands by the fire, eating, drinking carrying wood. So, your character just feels somewhat lifeless. I noticed skyrim has moved somewhat away from the roleplaying aspect, except that the jobs are a great feature ,I played Morrowind, and Oblivion before this, and one other thing I really liked, was the amount of light sources in morrowind, if that could be added, too. It doesnt seem to hard, but I have very little experience with scripting, so its kind of out of my league.

We've talked of this a lot. There should be a mod available soon if not already that allows the player to use NPC emotes and animations.

This aspect of RPGS is something I'm surprised game devs have ignored. For single player role players, being able to bow, wave, drink, clap, greet, etc brings the game more to life and makes you feel like you're interacting with the world more.

My only problem is, that Im a console gamer.
