Put your gun on his head

[bronzepoem]

We can drow out our gun point somebody and say some cool words in MASS EFFECT. But in most time we couldn't really become a trigger pullers.

What if we could really pull the trigger after we get information or the poor guy's spirit broken? You slincely turn back and a beautiful blood flower blooming behind you. Weakness is sin.

 

How awesome to play a coldblooed killer! It's a role-playing game, right??!!A threaten can't become truth isn't a real threaten. I wonder will AP have a gun-threat system? In communication we need good using of our gun to strenghen our persuasion, and the trigger shouldn't become a decoration.

 

And it need a feature which fallout have: Every characters are killable. I think it's not a hard thing for AP.

Well, Fallout and Deus Ex pulled this off particularly well. Everybody was free game and you could get the information and show mercy, or you could decide they still need to die.

I remember the first Mordino family (?) mission in New Reno, where the wheezing boss wanted you to find someone who won/stole money off him in poker/chess/whatever. You found him in a basement, scared out of his wits; you could make him guide you to the spot in the graveyard where he buried the stash.

 

"Here it is.. uh.. I'll just go, now.."

"No, no. Here. Shovel. Dig."

He digs, and eventually gingerly unearthes a land-mine.

"Tricky, aren't we? Carry on."

Eventually, it opens up into some sort of well, where you can see a bag of money in the bottom.

"So, uh.. there it is.. you want to, uh, go down and get it?"

"No, I think you'll go down, and get it, and bring it here. Now git."

He goes down. You pick up the landmine.

"Here, catch!"

Haha yeah I remember that. Things like that made that game ace. It wasn't who you could kill, it was how, when, why and in how many different ways.

-"There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend. Those who have a loaded gun and those who dig. You dig."

That was the Salvatore mission, and the guy's name is Lloyd. That line was taken from What About Bob.

[Pidesco]

That line was taken from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, actually.

In a 2D game, all the plot and character be showed by dialogues. Now in a 3D game designers need to learn many skills from movie art. In this area BioWare have done a good job. Their camera using, action using and expression system are outstanding.

In a agent RPG like AP, gun will paly a very important role. A slient gun threaten maybe much more tensity than a perfect dialogue. Image that when you drow your gun at the same time with your enemy and point each other in 1 second. It's a necessary section for agent RPG~

I'd rather shoot his knee, but whatever works.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The only problem is someone with a bullet in his knee isn't exactly... silent.

[Pop]

If you're in the position where you have to shoot somebody to get info, you're either desperate enough to risk the noise or in a place where the noise doesn't matter.

The only problem is someone with a bullet in his knee isn't exactly... silent.

 

Electric drills are also sometimes used to "knee-cap" someone.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

At the very worst, you can start with a bullet in the foot, and if he doesn't talk then you can shoot the knee and go up from there.

[Gorgon]

Since this is a spy game they should steal from hitman where you can use an enemy as hostage/cover.

 

Something tells me you are not going to be able to go full Jack Bauer and torture or execute everyone you meet.

You're about to catch a case of bullititis! - Carl Martini RIP

[Pop]

Hey, it's a new guy.

[Humodour]

Somehow, I'm glad.
