Death Physics : V

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:32 am

Is it just me, or did you hate the ragdoll effect the deaths had in oblivion? It seemed so obnoxiously unrealistic, I actually didnt like to kill people! Idk if it was a joke or just a really big step backwards, but I hope its fixed in skyrim.

Riiiight, it wasn't perfect but it was about par for games of the time.

Go play Battlezone and have a look at the death "physics" of the pilots in that game.

Do people on this forum really put this much effort into complaining about games they like?

I mean, I guess the ragdoll is better than just a regular animation... but i think the bodies should remain a bit more solid when they die. So that they dont end up flopping around like a bag in the wind and vibrate uncontrollably haha

Agree with the OP. Every time I one shotted someone with a bow, they went flying(either backwards or straight up) and If I had an enchanted arrow with an area affect? Forget it! They would fly after getting hit by it.

I understand what you're saying.... I hated when the bodies would move uncontrollably effect too, but for the most part, I thought that they did a pretty good job with the deaths.....

I remeber I also played Gothic 3 at that time & there dead animals were wobbling down when you killed them at a hillside. Like jelly...it was ridiculous.
I believe they had no skeleton after death any more.

I'll agree its a little far fetched. But its more amusing then anything.

I don't recall it ever being passed off as a life simulator.

Fixed! In some old interview the author mentioned a guy falling on his knees horribly bleeding and the falling on then ground.
FACEPLANT! :celebration:

I didn't really like the rag doll too much but I didn't mind it. It certainly wasn't a huge step back from Morrowind.

I hated it when I hitted someone with that enchanted dagger from the first or second Dark Brotherhood quest. The body just went into air - by a dagger ._.

lets hope thats it though

Hah I thought everyone was just being a jerk. I didn't know that's really what it's called. It's great though, add's a lot of AI into a simple thing like death animations.

You know the part in the vid where the little dude is being hit by the lines and is stumbling back? Yeah, that's what I want it to look like when I shoot someone with an arrow in the shoulder.

During the E3 footage it seemed that lightning magic made Draugr go flying, but when he killed the bandits with a bow or the wolves earlier held to the ground nicely. It may be magic, but we still have 5 mos to find out.

I think magic causing characters to fly would be fine, but arrows and swords? no thanks
