The giant was dropped while the dragon was climbing, the dragon was also flying away from the player. The gravity first had to cancel the upward movement before it can accelerate something downward, that the giant was moving away from us also make it appears slower.

Yes it’s limits on falling speed in the game you will not reach 200 km/h in freefall, however this is not a complicated issue, gravity is kind of the essence In a physic engine, either Bethesda had set maximum fall speed to 2 feet/ hour for fun or it’s look like an illusion to people who don’t understand physic.

I think they have to cap the speed of fall rate.

The setting I think would be Max Linear Velocity. I guess when you don't cap it below terminal velocity, things might fly across the screen super fast.

uh oh. Game's ruined. I'm off to find a new series. :facepalm:

That and his position not looking right as he fell i think can be explained by him not being dead. The dragon didn't kill him. He had more than half health when he was picked up. I bet he died when he hit the ground though.

Realistic physics mods should fix this nicely.

I'm not sure. I think he is dead. looks like ragdoll and not animation. Traditionally ragdoll usually only activates on death, not just in BGS games. So the skeleton either comes under one or the others jurisdiction, it's either animated or it's ragdoll.

Apparently HB does allow for partial ragdoll while under animation though. Or so it tells me...

*Sigh* How long is it until the game is released? 5 MONTHS. Do you honestly think the game is even remotely finished? The game isn't even in Beta yet!
Ofcourse the game is acting awkward, it's to be expected.

They're actually wrapping things up and trying to iron out the final bugs.

There were some perspective/phyics concepts involved there....

The reason it looked unrealistic is because the enemy stays more or less completely upright and doesn't flail about (or even rotate around his own axis according to torques acting on his body, assuming he is dead) He doesn't appear to care that he is falling. That's what I noticed about that. I imagine that more gravity would affect arrows and so on such as to make them more or less useless.

Everything looked fine to me. Not amazing but good. I'm glad they fixed the ragdoll combat stuff. The giant looked a bit funny ( as in not super, omg, uber, realistic!!) but if you look closely he starts to turn headfirst towards the ground near the end.

TL;DR = It's pretty much all good but they still tweaking it, just chill

I would hope that nobody would TL;DR that post..

I'm just glad the ragdoll in Skyrim doesn't look as bad as it did in new vegas, how they managed to go a step down in quality from fallout 3 i'l never know.
