Has there been any work done on new standart fighting animations for POE  II? Iam not talking about motion capture or highly choreographed martial arts as in Tekken. Though animations seem to me quite old and outdated (take the unarmed strikes from monks for example). 

 

I only see shiny new spell content

If there has been any updates done in animation department throughout the beta I didn’t notice any.

probably not Obsidians top priority....

Josh has uploaded a few vids to his social media accounts showing some work on fighting animations, so yeah, it's been worked on. From my understanding the character models are all completely new and thus so are their animations.

Yeah, Deadfire runs on updated engine, pretty much everything is made anew. Quality of current animations can be easily judged by watching any of the updates on Obsidian site or any playthrough on YouTube.

 

For example here is one of the updates which feature unique animation for pommel strike as well as some basic attack animations.
