Is that being sexyst? or machist?
I have recieved more requests from women asking for their mage female characters to wear shorter tunics with clevage and to make animations more feminine.
I wouldn't say that Argentina is an extremely machist country, we might be more obsessed with the female image though... the truth is that most nice looking women in Argentina walk like that.
As a proof of the important role of women in our society we actually have a Female president (people say she is kinda cute), and she walks like that... do not insult my president! 
This is a very subjective matter... but we feel quite proud of the visual improvement this animation represents compared to the one that was in place before.
I am still listening to what people have to say on this matter.

About the animation: I know that ngd wants a cartoon like stile for the game, but if women fell offended maybe its a good option to go for a 'less feminine' walk.
@AwD, iirc boobs dont shake at all in this game (and they never should imho)
-semi-offtopic.
I was wondering... why improve the walking animation for female chars? it's kinda secondary.. i mean that, our chars always hit in the same way.. my char does the same movements to knock someone down that for going berserk.. our warriors use rapiers like kitchen knifes..
It would add
a lot more to the 'gameplay' to improve the fighting animations (and add more) than a walking animation.
Why do all my barb hits look exactly the same? why i never swing my hammer (or mace, there are lack of weapon and armor variety in some levels) horizontally?
That would add a lot more to the 'gameplay' than a walking animation, because everybody runs here, theres no point to walk, but we spend 99% of our game time killing things.. mobs.. surak.. players.. ourselves.. mobs.. players.. surak... mobs.. and getting killed.. mobs with sotw.. surak.. players.. valorius.. water.. valorius..
You said that ngd is trying (or going to) improve all the anims in the game.. probably you made this one and not other first to see what the community thinks about it.. (im almost sure..) as you said somewhere and current walking anim (past for females) was way too un detailed to live together with the current one, but then.. why not wait a few days or weeks and let the player choose how she wants to walk?
Let them change it when they want. Are you forcing the players to give their opinions about it so they dont just use the other and do not give any feedback?
It would add a lot more to gameplay to let the player choose when they want to 'flirt' and when not, why i can not 'flirt' only when a certain player or character in near and not always? You know we love to play these stupid (and sometimes fun) little games. Like running around them all the time.
