Hello,
This is a question in regards to corpses!
The reason I ask, is not because I am after a decapitation simulator or something similar
But simply because I believe the immediate fading of corpses during a battle destroys immersion. I believe it adds to a game to be able to look back after you just made I through an area and see the fight played out through littered remains of the battle field.
I believe Jagged Alliance 2 did it best, (it was the expansion however I can't recall the name).
The bodies wouldn't fade, and if you returned to the area there would be crows etc present and it would usually be accompanied by a short conversation between parties. If you returned even later the bodies would have gone through a period of decay (nothing too full on)
While I wouldn't want the game to become anything sadistic, some decals to show that a fight took place in a area would be nice.
For example, if in a city maybe next time you return a local shop keeper would be mopping the area?
Or
If in the wilderness, as above crow etc.
Anyway
Questions, thoughts?
