Somewhere along the line there was an update I missed to druid wildshapes. I think these need a relook from an aesthetic standpoint. Love or hate NWN, there is a certain aesthetic to the game. I can speak only of the 12 lvl and greater feat, which is supposed to represent dire shapes. Stock NwN chose to portray them generally as large animals with glowing yellow eyes and bony extrusions.
Now we have:
Dire Bear - It looks demonic, with Xs carved all over it, glowing red eyes, and a butt whose size and position make it look like a thorax.
Animation - Again with the butt/thorax, almost comes across insect or wormlike at a run
Dire Panther - Uncanny valley of proportions, sorta horse-like torso, with yellow eyes on the side of its head like a gecko
Animation - Doesn't move like a cat, looks instead abit like it is galloping
Dire Wolf - Is frankly chonky, with a truly ginormous head whose features are disproportionate to the body
Animation - Natural looking
Dire Boar - Legs are too short, it has black eyes with red pupils, and the splotchy fur suggesting either mange or undeath
Animation - Looks a bit strange, with the high back kick but the bulky front looking like it might crash into the ground
Dire Badger - I think is the original NWN version, which fits the original aesthetic.
In short, recommend these be reverted or given a serious relook.
