PhantomJedi Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I for one am getting tired of watching my enimies cruple to the ground in the same exact way every time I kill one. A physics engine would allow for unique deaths and allow interaction with the environment. That would mean when you pick someone up and through them they hit the wall or other people. It also opens up the possibility for dismemberment. Just imagine being able to go through a crowd of enemies and just watching the limbs go flying left and right. <tear comes to eye> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bytor Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Nice idea, but I don't think it fits with the RPG style. "I tried the most potent Noise Amplification spell once upon a time. Mavellous spell. I could hear the birds speaking to one another in trees over the horizon, I could hear the rustlings as the clouds rubbed against each other in the sky. I could hear the sound a rainbow makes as it arches it's back over the world. Then a dog barked behind me and I burst my left eardrum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloris Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Physics = destructable environments. Woohoo! I think it would be great if you unleashed Force Lightning in say, an office-type environment, and all the light fixtures exploded. Or if objects were knocked back along with NPCs when you use Force Push... Cloris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I for one am getting tired of watching my enimies cruple to the ground in the same exact way every time I kill one. Does it even matter? They disappear few second after that anyway. 'real' force push sounds more like source of trouble than enhancement of gameplay... last thing i want is some guy i push become stuck in place where the game can't figure out what to do with them.

Again. Episode Three: *spoilers* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, OK, but relatively speaking, that's not so much, and it's only major characters in plot-important dismemberments(?). It's not the day-in day-out carnage that the original poster seemed to me to be suggesting. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

When you say awesome, I'm sure you mean terrible and disturbing. Wouldn't it be great if Kotor 3 could recognise whether you fought honorably, and reward you for it? And allowed you to spare your opponents more often! "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough to go from Luke Skywalker to the Emperor if you use Force Lightning once or twice, but enough that it actually portrays the whole "must be able to use powers wisely" motto the Jedi employ.

Jivin Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I think a ragdoll physics engine and destroyable environments would add to the game in a similar way to how updating the graphics themselves would. That said, I would love to see both new graphics and the introduction of ragdoll physics, however fully destroyable environments is something I think isn't worth the development time it would take to impliment. A proper physics engine can add a lot to a game in subtle ways, and I definitely think it would be worth it. - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomJedi Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Maybe what happens is determined by your alignment. If your dark side you dismember and decapitate to your hearts content. But if you are light side you prehaps just cut the blaster in half. I don't think the shield idea would work because imagine how much energy and consentration it would take to hold and menuver the body to block blaster bolts. Nice idea, but I don't think it fits with the RPG style. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
