Opening doors and caskets

Continuing the discussion from Animated door opening:

Hi, are you going to create animation for opening caskets too? I hope yes, I don’t like to see character while kicking the air and…door or caskets open!

Which is all well and good for the mystical immersion beast but is a core gripe of mine around anally retentive focus on pointless repetitive activities detracting from gameplay.

It drives me wild in games exhibiting this very animation, (examples including Witcher 2 and Risen/2), that I am forced to work through the millionth rendition of door/casket opening.

Fine for including it if:

  1. It isn’t excessive in duration and includes variety
  2. It can be optionally skipped
