Drained magicka animation

Post » Thu Sep 29, 2011 9:38 am

Hey has anyone that played the demo notice if there is an animation if your magicka is drained? Like if you try to do a fire spell with no magicka then it should show the character attempting and straining maybe even gasping trying to get the spell out

Yeah, and when stamina is empty it can show an animation of the character bending over and panting if they try to sprint or trying to swing a weapon and not be able to lift it. :rolleyes:

ooo sarcasm, na animations for everything and the size of the game world is not neccesary, good thought but not for Skyrim, NXT Gen engines will be out by the next TES game, if there is one... The Next TES game will have tons of these animations and kinks people keep fantasizing about. What we have is good for now.

What are you talking about the animation is already in the game. Im talking about the same exact animation that the player does when casting the spell. Basically doing the motion but nothing coming out. You guys always seem to not understand someones post.

Well he added a roll eyes smiley, that means he was right and clever and smarter than you. You are supposed to ignore his obvious failings in reading comprehension skills.

Edit to answer. We have no idea, but it would be cool IMO. I also think it would be cool with all attacks to have an actual no energy animation, like half hearted swings, or fizzling spells. Nothing is wrong with showing and not telling.

Wasn't there an animation of the character shivering or something? :unsure: I remember a review talking about that. Anyway - I haven't played nor seen anyone playing who ran out of magicka. So I wouldn't know for sure.

MAGE NEEDS FOOD BADLY should pop up whenever you try to cast with no magicka
