Which is why I said you might have an issue with the genre as a whole, rather than the XCOM games. If there's no reason to 'bother' the player with running and firing animations, what's the point in having the level design at all? There's also the small fact they could miss the shot information by concentrating on other things, but both of these could be solved with a log I guess. 'Skipping' the animation in this instance might lead to the player missing critical information, such as triggering what I just explained, or wondering why they're no longer concealed. Which is fine, but there's also the fact that the game is running mechanics based upon the character's movement, as well as having to deal with Overwatch reaction fire and numerous other locational based effects, such as fire, poison clouds and acid pools. The issue with 'skipping' the action is then you're just playing a glorified board game.
