Yeah I wasn't sure to take how he was walking as just an issue with animation (were you really going to spend a lot of time finessing the feet you see in all of three seconds in one cutscene?), if they were intended to sort of be arboreal-inspired like you mention, or if it was just supposed to be a function of Truth rarely leaving his chair.
