Character animations [excluding Lalafell] in this game are great. most games nowadays use motion capture. It's a very commonly used tech that saves boatloads of development time.

"Video games often use motion capture to animate athletes, martial artists, and other in-game characters.[2] This has been done since the Atari Jaguar CD-based game Highlander: The Last of the MacLeods, released in 1995." - Wikipedia
