I understand this isnt T1, T2 or even TV but when there is a proven following that has lasted for such a long time based on many parameters that were born in T1. I would think you would adopt more from earlier editions in the campaign in effort to continue the flow, feel and personality of the games that have brought so many followers with it.

Yes I know, many of you will come and say; "NOOOOO, emoves will ruine the game. This is not an MMO."

Try to understand what Im explaining. Im taking a middel path here.

No, Im not talking about the "dance" emotes, silly emotes etc etc. Im thinking about salute emotes, some military emots like stand in correct.
Or when you do the VGW, your character also does a wave with his hand. Have some emotes build with the VGS system. Like when you taunt someone you also does a rude gustier.

People can be against this but part of today's gaming community is also making movies about the game. Amateur / hobby movie makers is making a lot of different quality of movies and put the work out for people to see and enjoy.

you really are talking about the dance/silly emotes too id hope(or youd be mission the best ones.), and i think people liked it. i loved all the anims you could do, they added that certain level of personality/style to the game. im for this menu being added, ..even if its stripped i suppose.
