Male running animation

[Cannubis]

Is it just me, or males and females both share the same 'mixed gender' animation for running and idle?

It appears that males are twisting their hips when walking which is usually a girl thing to do. Also they do small steps, like something was blocking them from making 'full size' steps, which leads me to thinking, that the thing I am still missing is high hills for my dude. But my dude is straight hehe.

On the other hand, the kinda coming to idle or just stopping animation looks a bit aggressive and leans towards body language of a male, which as a consequence takes out a bit of cutiness form female characters, IMO.

Yeah, but definitely males animation looks very hermaphroditic.

The game is fully motion captured so I doubt your premise. I don't play males often, but when I select one of the male companions to move around - the movement looks very male to me.

I also figure you've already seen (due to your fixation on the animations to begin with) but put a female character in slimmer armor and there's no doubt they have a female gait for your eyes to feast on.

I feel like if you make a male PC that you project "masculine" qualities on, you'll suddenly start seeing a male gait with him. We see what we want to see.

I have a male Drow and I have the same issues with running and idling being very feminine.

Both of those can have balls, so it clearly is a developer shortcut.

The animations are gender neutral, we wouldn't want to uphold harmful stereotypes about how men or women are supposed to move.
