ok, now that I see them, I agree those don't look very good. The only one I think the new one's better is the unarmored walk. The other animations look kind of weaksauce

Thank you!

Women and men do walk differently in reality at least TW have added this. New animations for the females is good.
My girlfriend thought that the new animations looked more feminine while the old ones she said they looked impaired.
Personally I would like the new ones to look more fierce. Not like they are strolling on the catwalk.

I like the new ones better.
The animations aren't great but imo the new ones look a helluva lot better.

The new animations do look goofy, but I prefer them over sharing men's animations. Now to do something about idle companion women's animations lol. Something less goofy than legs apart with hands on hips would be an improvement.
Of course they're impaired, they are wearing armour and layers and carrying weapons, etc - as are the men.
For real.

if i played as a female i would like the character to be female like. A feminine shape and walk. Nothing like the male counter part who i think needs to be more muscular the walk is ok. I generally play as male and if the character dies as i play with king slayer mod i would play as the characters spouse.
An ideal game would have it tied to your character stats/traits - so you can RP as an effeminate male character, or masculine female character, or effeminate female, and masculine male character; then the option to completely toggle that on/off for whatever you want to do.

The new female unarmed running animation they got from Steven Seagal.
They missed their mark though: I almost always make girl clan leader and I didn't even notice the animations changed until I read people complain.

Not sure it is possible to do a trans sexy stage walk in full armour IRL. But you now can in game.
Seems a lot like a teenage boy's or a single and lonely game developer's idea of how a woman should walk when being sexy. Which is a horrible caricature, seeing as most women actually walk, you know... like anyone else most of the time. That is unless they're in a sexist society being controlled by a patriarchy... maybe that's where this comes from because it is very 1950s by most standards.
It doesn't seem to me like there are any women at Taleworlds, because if there were, I find it hard to believe we'd have these animations.

The animation has become more feminine. That's cool.

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.
