Or it's possible to use more "complete" skeleton with more bones.
Replacing skeleton requires remaking of all animations and character bodies too.
And all armour, clothes, robes, etc...
And i think that is the worse part, more than animations themeselves.
The main problem is we lack decently developed tools for animating, for most people see the whole process as black magic and decide to not bother with them at all.
Lately i decided do dig more into them and already i've managed to get custom skeleton working in MW, starting with original one, i've added new bones to get a skyrim like skeleton. And this is what i got (used some skyrim assets for testing)

Does the skeleton "play" original animations? Did you try to retarget animation to custom skeleton, or did you just imported skeleton with no .kf data in game?
When I was messing up with animations I was animating on bare skeleton blindly, witch is ridiculous, tedious and almost impossible.

Nope, its all pretty raw, done just some basic new Idle pose for testing
On the plus, as this skeleton is nearly a carbon copy of Skrim's one, it supports its assets, and mabye even animations (didnt tested it yet). Atm im trying to do some basic template body for this skeleton
