The monk and barbarian animations look pretty much ok...but what the heck is going on with the WD and Wiz???

Was it a serious design decision to give the WD Cerebral Palsy or was that just some kind of mocap accident?

The Wizard animation looks even worse...she just looks like a puppet whose strings are being jiggled around.

Please tell me this is just placeholder animations that aren't going to make it into the actual game...

We design and animate our characters to be viewed from game-cam distance. They really aren't meant to be seen from the distance that we show them on the website. So yeah some things (all things?) might seem strangely exaggerated that close. We have to design our characters, create textures, animations, spell effects, etc. all for a fixed camera that's way up in the sky. It's actually more challenging to adapt to and work with than if it were to just be seen from a personal view.
