What is up with the face animation, AI? What?

[Bust-E-Pona]

I am watching a friend play and the facial animations... The way their mouths just sorta always hang open, and jitter. Is this AI animation or just bad? What is going on???

Edit: To anyone saying the dialog is also bad, it is lore accurate to an excessive degree from everyone but the star pilots, which has it's pros and cons obviously.

.... Even the MW2 intro they use a contraction or don't say weird words non lore nerds know like "Aft"

AFT? Oh the irony

Think sailors would know what aft means. Aff?

Anyway, on topic, I have heard some people criticize the writing, but I don't think that's fair because I think the writing did a good job of showing us what Clan culture is like. It is not a very pleasant culture to say that least but that is the point really.

Thing is and this is just my opinion of course, this game reminded me that while Clanners make for fun villains in MechWarrrior/MechCommander games, I just don't think that they are very interesting as protagonists. I'll be honest after a while their stuck up hyper aggressive way of communicating and culture in general just gets annoying.
I know there is a lot of nostalgia related to MechWarrior 2 and Clanners do have their share of fans, and this is just my opinion.

The Clans are very different when it comes to overall behavior and mindset. Im sure, if this game was about the Wolves or Ghost Bears, the overal opinion would look way different.
I mean, the Bears even treat Freeborn like actual humans, you can even become a warrior, if you´re able to keep up with the trueborn.

The tone of the game is just wierd. At one point they go full on clan where a normies does not even understand what they are saying without a dictonary and the other point they act un-clan-like "let's talk about our feelings". It's just bad writing.

Game is enjoyable though when you can ignore this (and the strange face animations).
