Combat styles and item manipulation

[niko86 0]

I'd like to see the ability to customise your characters combat style, a la Jedi Knight 2, except much more detailed. eg you may want a flamboyant character, this could be shown in how you set up there combat style. They could spin the lightsaber in their hand before striking use unnessisary cartwheels, further this could have its benefits like enemies could be more wary of attacking this seemingly powerful character. Or drawbacks like becoming tired quicker or being more vunerable to group attacks. The possibilities to this in combat and having a unique character are to much to list.

 

Also item manipulation could interesting. Perhaps the ability to repair items which could be bought more cheaply. Construct unique weapons from buying parts and merging them. Construct items to make puzzles easier, eg find an item, to make it easier you could construct a metal detector. This shouldn't have to be constructed but left to the player to work out.

Idea 1: I think you're wanting a bit much from an rpg

 

Idea 2: Awesome idea

As your character advances, the animations in the game will change to reflect that. As an example, you might start off swinging a lightsaber around like some kind of glowing baseball bat. With time and skill increases, however, you will look less like a member of the Yankees starting line-up and more like a refined martial arts master who realizes that his blade of white-hot energy is in fact weightless.

Speaking of those oversized deadly glow sticks, a whole new lightsaber system has been added to the game. This new system adds different stances that your lightsaber wielding hero can use, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In keeping with the

Also, item manipulation is being done a little bit already, if you didn't know. You can use your repair skill to construct new things using old gagdets, and a few items can't be bought or find, but only made. ( I think)

Yeah, you can break things down to make newer and better things... ...I think they mentioned you could break down datapads and stuff, which will give alot more use to repair this time through...
