I was thinking about how Empire now is using Motion cap to do most of the animations in the game. If someone wants to make a mod that takes place during Roman times there won't be animation in the game for a guy holding a shield, or throwing a pilon, or hoplites in formation and the like.
I understand people can make animations, but won't they look like crap next to motion capture? I'm sure I don't know all the details or what modders are capable of. Does anyone have any insight on this?
