It's really hard to not laugh out loud when you go into third person and watch your character swing a melee weapon.

I think the fact there's a third person mode is the bigger problem than how the animations look.

But that's what makes the current generation of Bethesda RPGs so great! Although I personally have a love for this style of jank.

i thought the so-called third person is only your player character performing the npcs' awkward animations regardless. "

Character animations in Bethesda RPGs are pretty janky. Part of it is probably the game engine.

Fallout 3 wasn't exactly known for good animations either. So I've learned to overlook things like these after the couple of hundred hours I put into that game. Although, the poor quality of the introduction video kind of surprised me.

I always liked the 3rd person modes in Bethesda RPGs, even if only in an ironic way.
