Didn't know that I would stir such debate just with "immersion breaking" For me it just means, that some aspect stands out in a worse way than the other. So when you see amazing scenery, graphic, hear really great music and read some dialogue you just expect that other aspects of the game would be on the same quality level. There is a sudden drop in quality and I just start to think about it. I would get used to it, but it would seem such a shame no to polish them a little. But to be honest, animation quality is just my thing - I remember how I loved the way Irenicus cast his spells, by weaving his hands in a different way than other mages/priests, etc. Or from the newer example the animations of Ogres in Dragon Age, you just feel the WEIGHT of the creature. I believe the weight is extremely important aspect in animation quality. Sorry, got carried away. So yeah, I probably just went a little overboard with "immersion breaking"

Hi, I saw the footage from Gamescom and the game looks gorgeous, but there is just one thing, that kinda bothers me - the animations. It seems so "sketchy", like the movements are not complete, end by animation cut. Especially attack animations, like shooting arrows, using the rapier, etc. It looks very weird in otherwise beautiful graphical design. Are those animations final? It seems kinda similiar to the alpha stage of the game, that's why I'm asking. I'm confused that I haven't seen anyone complaining about it, maybe it's just me. It breaks immersion for me. And please just don't start how this game isn't about graphical presentation and stuff I know that, I bought it because I love this genre. But to be honest, even the animations in BG2/PS:T looked imo much better. Like slashing Dakkon's sword looked cool, Morte's wobbling looked very smooth, etc. What do you think? Is it just me?
