It would be great to have that as an actual toggle or option

100% my stance on it. It sucks during serious/epic cutscenes.

You picked a silly race and you're upset it... acts silly?

Lalafell should clearly roll around.

If some of the people that commented saw the sassy walk Momodi had in 1.0 they would lose it I suppose

+1 to alt walk animation, I almost never RP walk because I really dislike the waddle

The exact reason I never could take any "heavy" scene in Ul'dah seriously. Add in the sultana being carried like a baby and that entire place is a circus.

Being small and adorable =/= silly. I also never said I was upset. I just think it's inconsistent and breaks immersion during cutscenes.

I know Lalas have some sillier emotes and that's fine, but forcing that toddler walk is insane lol. Just look at the runway emote, Lalas walk just fine.

At the very least, there should be a toggle (for every race): one eccentric walk, and one standard walk.

Believe it or not they're animated like this because of feedback from their 1.0 animation, which had them use their knees more.

You picked a "small and adorable" race and are bothered that it walks like something "small and adorable"?

call it cartoony gag character small and adorable whatever. but yeah. at least i am bothered by that. It can still be those things without walking like a toddler with too big diapers.. I mean. Not that hard to understand. Not everyone views every race trough the same lenses and projections other see. I certainly don't

Lalafell are not even remotely treated silly in the story and lore of this game. Every Lalafell npc is taken seriously
