    Title: Blood River Massacre - Fingers Slate - Strange NPC script behavior
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: While in this specific scene, and watching Fingers Slate's NPC script (I'm just standing near him, I'm not talking to him) he does the following:

    1. He identifies a corpse.
    2. He walks to corpse.
    3. He then bends down and does his scavenging(?) animation.
    4. Stands up.
    5. LONG PAUSE (this is the strange thing).
    6. The corpse he was just looting, turns slightly to the side, then goes back down (this is the strange thing).

    Suggestion (how his scrip possibly could be):
    1. He identifies a corpse.
    2. He walks to corpse.
    3. He then bends down.
    4. The corpse he is looting, turns slightly to the side, then goes back down (I assume this is an animation call).
    5. He does his scavenging animation.
    4. Stands up.
    5 (He then will walk randomly, stand still or go back to 1).

    The corpse turning slightly animation is just happening in the wrong order(?), don't know if you can change that or not. If you can't change this (due to Unity limits or something)?, I would then suggest possibly just removing the corpse turning slightly to the side animation call. It just looks completely strange.

    It's also possible, that long pause is an animation trying to play(?) that is either not working or an incorrect one, that then is supposed to be happening before the corpse turns slightly.

    Steps to Reproduce: Use a new character slot, and go to this exact location. Observe Fingers Slate's NPC script.

    This is a weird one. He's either using an "emote" animation or normal "investigate the corpse" AI. In the former, he's not truly interacting with the corpse. In the latter, maybe the bug is with the corpse? Probably a programmer (or art?) bug, but I'll take a look and see if I can find out more before forwarding it to them. Issue #66586
