No, it has become caricature feminine. Which is not cool. It's patronising.
I've supported the devs over the years to the point that I've been a running joke around here. I've always thought of the game as progressive in that it allows women characters in a medieval setting to both fight and lead. Which was uncommon in any medieval setting.
But these animations are the first real thing that has dented my confidence in the game. I suspect that those whom are OK with the animations are likely unfamiliar with how most women walk, because it is at once over sexualised, and exaggerated - which is more representative of a trans stage show. Which is fine, if the animations were applied to male characters when wearing dresses. But not to a female character wearing 15 or 20 kgs of armour.
I made a actual comparison video:
As you can see running and walking are both changed with and without weapons. The new ones have no energy behind them. These are not animations for warriors. They don't look like this person is going into a fight. They look like a caricature of a lady that picked up a sword to look cool.

Have you ever seen a woman walk in real life? Because that should make you see the problem.
most of the time, a female character is wearing body armor or at least clothing that isn't form-fitting.
No. No, no to all the people that don't see anything wrong with this. I understand half of your life you've spent it slurping it up to 3D models in videogames so much that having any real connection with an actual human being is beyond your expectations, but if you truly believe a woman in the middle ages wearing armour and fighting with swords and maces would ****ing walk like she's doing a Passarella for Gucci in 2004 (because that walking is so ****ing lame jesus Christ) then you're completely disconnected from reality and there is no hope for you.
This is absolute cringe, this is what a chronic mas****bator would make in "Lovers Lab" for Skyrim, this need to make a woman move its hips like if she was ****ing Lola Bunny about to turn a generation of children into fur enthusiast is complete degeneracy, and you can *** and slurp to whatever you want to but please don't force the people who just want to play a videogame in peace. Not everything needs to be a reason to go zoinkers with your hand and lube.
Please revert this garbage, this isn't feminine at all, this is just a bunch of wads grinding for the gamers' .
Brother if you show me a clip of Ronda rousey doing a Passarella with heir tits jumping and having moving her hips exaggeratedly I'll buy into it but this is too much. I rant because it's ridiculous and I'm tired of this game turning into more bull****. Not to mention this idea of femininity we have today doesn't necessarily applies to 1500 years ago, less for fictional women in a battlefield. Even regardless of being heavily armoured I can't even imagine a woman concentrating on how hot she would look while also throwing heavy axes, is a dumbass concept.How much armor swivels with the hip -you may be right I have zero idea how different types of armor moves except obvioulsy Plate. As far as women using their Hip swag as fighters -you wrong. I dont know if youve followed MMA at all - but back in the day there was a female Muay Thai Fighter named Cat Zingano who was a top 3 fighter. Up their at Ronda Rhouseys level and world class. I trained at her spot in Denver, Colorado for a good year and seen her plenty as well as some of her instructors were females. And they hip swagged like a MF'ers. Matter fact Ronda Rousey did too - she used to brag she could not only fight but was sexier at the Ring girls making their jobs redundant.
Pretty common in Striking schools, to have a few females like that while others are the complete opposite wearing baggy formless outfits as not wanting to accentuate their femininity. BJJ schools not so much. But to say this is all Gaming Wanker dreams -well know for a fact your wrong
Not much different that the movie style swag they use to 'masculinize' heroes and villains. Most real fighters even today dont look or act like Vin Diesel, The Rock, the Thor guy with 8 pack abs, and tri/bi's bigger than most peoples heads. those kinda arms arent even beneficial to fighting as they just add brakes to power. But people like to glamorize their combatants as ultra-Alphas so its not that crazy that they add some female swag on the ladies. Your rant seems a little over the top - was your life harmed by a Fapper?
And who's supposed to represent this badass vin diesel like in Bannerlord? ****ing Derhert? Lmfao. There is no comparison to make in this case, the movements are lame and cringe, and that's the whole point. Even irl feminine movements aren't as ridiculous unless the only woman you take into perspective is a Kardashian.Not much different that the movie style swag they use to 'masculinize' heroes and villains.

RR aint built like that but that dont stop her from tryingBrother if you show me a clip of Ronda rousey doing a Passarella with heir tits jumping and having moving her hips exaggeratedly I'll buy into it
Eeeeh... from an animation standpoint there is a clear difference between what you are showing and the way the female character moves in game, that I would summarize it this way: the female character doesn't feel confident or competent. Their movements are uncertain, slappy... that's the actual core of the problem imo.*snip*
That was your claim -I provided it. Now you're adding caveats -thats on you. if your stating that women dont move "sexily" while actually fighting ie throwing kicks and punches -well then youd be correct. If your asking how some fighting women walk around -then my point stands. The video of the Bannerlord women above is of her walking around -not in combat.Brother if you show me a clip of Ronda rousey doing a Passarella with heir tits jumping and having moving her hips exaggeratedly I'll buy into it
Well the guy literally asked for video evidence -hence here we are. I told him my personal experience with female fighters in the MMA world but he wanted video proof.Lol, most threads invariably end up to links to yt testings or other historical links out there; didn't expect this one to go to MMA and RR as the references.
