Blender not exactly WYSIWYG or have i messed up?

i seriously don't get it, a quarter to four AM and i'm still trying this problem;

 

in this pic everything looks fine to me (focusing on the head and neck position here)

but when i put this pose in game the character's looking in profile position.

am i not seeing something? is the neck in the blender pic in the wrong rotation and I'm just going blind with sleep deprivation?

The only thing I can think of is the bone weight priority not being set. Like in this picture. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u312/RG...ts/posedemo.jpg I'm still a novice at this myself, so I can't be of much help to you. But I can tell you that when I have made a pose that altered the neck, they did come out exactly as they were supposed to. :cool:

yeah i wonder if it's the head i'm using, I havent got a headhuman nif file, i guess i'll have to extract that from oblivion, instead im using Abriael_Human head and it's the only thing i have problems with, everything else poses right except it'd like the character has no spine running through the neck.

 

but that can't be it,it's got to do with the skeleton i suppose, i'll check the priority

 

EDIT: checked the priority , all the bones set to 30, i'll have to keep playing around.
