No No No to dancing NPC's

Right in the middle of the trial that starts the war and the warrior npc starts strutting his stuff!!!

Yup it's a game, but every game needs to have serious and lighthearted moments and having npc's start dancing at every opportunity is really annoying.

Please get rid of this feature before release, or at least have it as an option I can turn off.

Nightfall is at hand and Elona is at Civil War! However, the power of the afro still remains strong.

Bah, I liked it. The first time I saw it is when I started emotes. I /kneeled at a shrine, and the two heroes bowed. I thought that was very cool.

Then I went AFK in a safe place (not in a city though, of course) and the henchman P started dancing. After a few moments, the heroes started playing instruments. I joined in the dance!

No one ever started dancing while there was a battle raging, although I have done that in the past just to piss off the enemy... Did you maybe have your hero turned to Passive?

My Sunspear warrior (Koss) started dry humping the Kournan attorney during the trial.

afk after a minute or so and in response to emotes or dancing would be fine, but im pretty sure that it's kicking in much sooner than that.

I'm picturing the already chaotic end cut scene for vizunah square - 10 minions spitting at the envoys, you can't hear a word they're saying and now we're also gonna have the 8npc's from the tyrian team doing YMCA in the background. Step forward old Togo, arms in the air thrusting his pelvis out 'Ah yes, Wen No sun - me and Mhenlo know it well....... It would play like something from a surreal 60's B movie

I'm tempted to go and do VS now just to see if that'd happen...

hehe, I had them break into random dance once, but they also start grooving if you start it yourself
