No facial animations when talking to NPCs or emotes... is this a bug?

    I haven't been playing in a while, and I can't tell for sure if NPCs used to have their mouth move when they talk -- but I'm pretty sure my character used to smile and open their mouth when I emote with eg. /laugh

    Is there a setting somewhere I need to look at ? Pretty sure I have everything maxed out.

    There was this feature also, "SOEmote" .. could it be messing up my character animations somehow? It sounds like it was removed from the game though - but maybe my settings files are really old and it's interfering somehow? Just taking guesses.

    Anyway, it's kinda sad I want to see my character's face alive >_>

    Hmm /mood happy and /mood sad works, and my character makes an angry face in combat.

    I'm guessing this isn't a bug and there are no facial animations during emotes or when NPCs talk. Oh well.

    create your character with an eternal smile and the Joker will pale in comparison to your avatar ;)
