Its interesting how polarizing this is. Personally, its the reason I keep deleting my female characters. It would be really awesome if they made 2 or 3 animations to choose from during creation, everyone could be happy.
Why Do All Female Characters Run Like Unrealistic Girly Girls ?

Time and money is the easy answer.
Cut scenes should be animated like this one:

or this one
But then, the cost is quite high.

Because for all their achievements on not being jerks about gender, some things they apparently can't be bothered with.

...actually i thought armoured ladies need to walk more like men... (like Lydia in Skyrim). I have a problem with model-catwalk-while-in-plate-armour....

If there were an override directory, modders could make alternative animations. I can hear the consolers squealing "That won't help US!" Yeah. You choose to game on a less capable platform, you get (I know this is shocking for many) ... less capability. It's not rocket science. Bioware has chosen to put the console straightjacket onto PC gamers, so you'll get whatever they serve up and like it, or take your business elsewhere.

I don't see why the women should move much differently than the men. I don't see many women in real life prancing around like so many video games seem to think they do. It's embarrassing.

And you know they can do different walk animations because it's implemented in Sims ![]()

You must have bad eyesight, everybody on earth has a different way of walking from each other. ![]()

All those years in heavy armor must surely have caused her some back problems..
I can't find the source atm, but iirc Cassandra actually does walk funny is because of some old injury - probably not armor-related RSI, though. ![]()

Please change your title this is very offensive there are people in real life who walk like that in real life naturally I know you Arnt trying to offend anyone on purpose so I am being polite about this thank you for reading.
Huh. I never looked at it that way. I have a bit of sashay in my step because I have 39 inch hips and a 22 inch waist. I'm by no means a bimbo because of my (I'd like to think attractive) genetics. I agree, Tex!

I'd rather have all male animations than have those. I don't get why they have to exeggerate female animations and make them so cringe-worthy. Just have one neutral animation for both genders, that would be good. DAO's situation was best.
Aw, but that would be a huge step backward, because newer is always better.

I don't like it either but so many people are complaining "My inquisitor sits like a man..waaaaah". I prefer the male sitting because my inquisitor is not going to be some dainty little twit. I wish she walked with less exaggerated feminism. C'mon, she doesn't need to sashay like she's on a runway at all times!
Lol women who don't sit with their legs as wide as the ****** Grand Canyon are now dainty twits. Ok...
The sitting animation looks fake and stupid with a male Inquisitor and doubly so with a female one. I hate this self-loathing bullshit a lot of women pull where anything feminine is considered lesser and dumb. The idea that women have to behave hyper-masculinely to deserve any respect is toxic and I'm sad so many women in this thread subscribe to it.

Funny story. At my high school, after years of people wearing casual clothes, they introduced a strict uniform code; old school (literally) tie and blazer. The girls had to wear knee length socks and skirts, the boys creased pants. After just a single term, they had to ban the knee length skirts. The male teachers were getting massively embarrassed because so many of the girls were sitting with their legs apart, and you could see under the desks from the front of the class.

That might work if gender and gender identity and definitions of what is feminine versus what is masculine versus what is neither, etc. were inherent instead of a social construct.
Some people prefer to just be who they are, instead of trying to fit into some social standard. Just sayin...

Funny story. At my old school we had a very strict uniform code; old school (literally) tie and blazer. They actually banned knee length skirts at one point because so many of the girls kept sitting with their legs apart, the male teachers were getting massively embarrassed because you could see under the desks from the front of the class.
Damn, they played too much Mass Effect as FemShepard :/.
As for the female walking/running animation, I found it really irritating, along with the way they are animated while talking to them outside cut scene. They all have the same habit of crossing their hands... Facepalm.

Women and men move differently because we have different centers of gravity. This balance difference changes everything. Not to say we can't have more gender-neutral animations, but at the base we do move differently, and there's a irrefutable reason for that.
But you are definitely correct - prancing doesn't tend to be that common in normal day-to-day life, even with 'center of gravity' differences and wildly different female body shapes. Having it exaggerated in a game is annoying.
I get aggravated when my female character is using what are obviously animations of a male skeleton. It's annoying, and it's irritating, and it simply feels wrong, because my brain registers the male animations to be incorrect since the balance is off. But it's also aggravating and embarrassing when they decide to female!!!!! things up by making certain there's a specific amount of hip sway, a specific sashay, oh yes and an appropriately dainty way of holding the arms and hands when running/walking, etc. Very annoying. And embarrassing. All this because it feels like certain things were simply added on to make sure we knew the character was FEMALE. I'd rather have the clunky, imbalanced-for-female-because-made-for-male animations instead, if that's my only other option. But a 'neutral' animation set that smoothed out any exaggeration of motions that are deemed to be highly masculine OR feminine would be better. NOT because no one uses these motions in real life, but because a 'smoothed out' animation set would likely feel 'less wrong' for the general public, I'd hope.

Agreed. The beauty of us women is that we come in varieties. The same can be said for men - and for all other genders in between. Shaming men for growing beards and shaming women for having "hips that don't lie" is... wrong. And, as a feminist myself, that is the antithesis of what feminism stands for. We should celebrate women for their differences.

I agree that gender is a social construct but I don't really see how it applies to anything I said before in regard to the internalized misogyny exhibited by a lot of ladies in this thread.

I think you're presuming a lot to accuse people of self-loathing internalized misogyny.
I'd agree that the use of the word "bimbo" was an unfortunate choice.
Are black people who find rap music distasteful self-loathing internalized racists?
