So, L&P is doing something 'special' and he has a new rig. The special thing shouldn't be just animations, because the game already has those. I was thinking that maybe he is working in 'interactive' animations, that would be something new in the game.
I personally like the interactive animations specially when you can change the speed, sometimes a game has good animations but you want them faster, for example, and they don't give you the option. That has happened to me in some scenes in BARS and BADIK. Also, I like when the animations have different angles too. But, yeah, that would decrease the development process.
