[BUG] Hand placement for every call animation is incorrect

Every time the "finger to ear" animation plays for a character communicating to someone else their hand is noticeably far away from their head. It looks terrible and it's distracting every time I see it. I've linked a 30 second video from the beginning of Tuchanka: Turian Platoon below as an example, but this happens whenever any character does this animation in Legendary Edition's ME2 and ME3, and is different from its appearance in the original games.

This is on Xbox One.

Example: 
Legendary Edition: https://streamable.com/d9vbz9

Original: https://youtu.be/7KwNMEJ--m0?t=130

EDIT:
Added an image example from a subsequent post for an easier comparison than watching the above videos

Legendary Edition:

Original:

  • @DocTheGamer this is something i did not like to see too it made me a little angry not too much but still its not nice better to not place there hand there at all if it can't be done right, but this are small stuff, i love the game as it is with the small bugs like this but it would be great to fix them.

    LOL, it's not wrong, remember in ME3 the tech for your blade is in your hand/arm...so you are just lifting your arm so you can talk into the microphone and hear from the speakers in your fingers/palm area.......😉

    Ummm....yeah, how could they have messed up a simple put your hand to your head/helmet animation by updating the game....???

    It looks like the finger position changed in the ME2 animation, perhaps they were syncing animations between the two games and someone just messed up. I have no real idea. In any case it looks awful.

  • Man this is, this is terrible. @holger1405 if this is what passes for a "Legendary Edition" Remaster (ME1 was wonderfully remastered) then I don't want any more in fact, are members of this patchwork working on the new ME game?
