I would go with yes mainly because I like to play and be immersed and being more realistic helps that immersion

what? crippled? why would you want to be? :confused:

there are heal spells- so yes. it wouldent get in the way of gameplay

So TES and Fallout will have a baby called skyrim? I like it!

This is one of the things i′m really eager to see in this game.Don′t know however how are they going to come out with a method of healing a crippled arm for example...

Yes, I wan't to be able to cripple a bandits legs, and watch it crawl towards me.

Still shouting "i've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!"

Yes. I'd like to be able to tag a guy in the leg with an arrow and watch him limp away.

It's called magic. LOL :whisper:

If you are down to 1 HP and you can drink healing potions, I can't see why the same can't be done for crippled limbs? Maybe healing scrolls and potions will not
fix limbs, but magic spells, certainly fix crippled limbs.

Why that's awful!...

and a bit funny

Oh and yeah, I'd like to cripple someone. It's something mandatory, but it'd be nice

Anything that makes NPCs that have just been pincushionned with arrows *not* bounce at your throat like it was mere acupuncture, will be helpful.

Insofar PC gets them too. Otherwise it's just not fair.

lol,


I think it would be cool but I don't want to have to visit a doctor to fix it, I would like to have a seperate heal spell effect for knitting bones back together though and at alters I could still be healed completely. Maybe by sleeping it would heal my Hit points but I'd still have a crippled appendage until I get it fixed in some way.

Yes, that′s it. I was trying to think of a quick way to heal in a middle of a battle. Say you have 20% health and one arm crippled (you need this arm to use your weapon).In that condition, if you use a potion or restoration magic the hp would go directly to your crippled limb. Or maybe you could use a scroll that would "heal limbs". :shrug:

Tis merely a flesh wound.

getting a club from a giant crushed into my knees? ohh yeah baby i think i will walk funny

fire an arrow at someone legs to stop them from escaping yeh I want that

Potions. Doctors, Over time maybe, Healing spells

So I may be 100% immersed into the games world

No. Oblivion went to a special kind of bank to have a baby, and Fallout seemed like the lesser of the evils.

C'mere, I'll bite you! (Crippped arms, legs, torso, and head, providing they have any hp left after that!!)

Oh yeah, Just like a stimpak in FO3 huh?

Have you ever heard of feature bloat?

Yes. I believe crippled appendages will make an appearance in Skyrim, but will definitely play a larger role. Considering one can free-style how they fight now, with control of both hands, if one gets crippled, the player will not be able to use it.

I'm all for crippling AI Controlled. As long as it doesn't happen to the player.

It would get really annoying to constantly have to heal crippled limbs limiting your movement when you get hit. Really. I don't want to keep a healing spell at all times either...
I can foresee serious rage playing and being stuck/slow as hell due to a crippled limb, being unable to move as you please... Worst thing ever in a game.

Yes. But it's not an easy thing to get right, particularly for an action based system, and probably impossible balanced for the casual player. I can't really see it be done with a simple one-bar-for-all, like today, where you have a single health bar covering all health and all of that can be fixed by simple magic. It just won't work. If you take a look at Role Master system, critical hits is organized into:
3 tables for Slash, Puncture, Crush.
5 tables for more special things like Large Creature, Super Larger Creature, Grappling, Martial Arts Strikes and Martial Arts Sweeps & Throws.
2 tables for even more special things like Tiny Animal and Unbalancing.

Each of these tables are then divided into 19 roll ranges and 5 levels of severity. Typically only the severity columns D and E covers crippling effects, and then only half the roll ranges. So in order to score a cripple effect, it better be in D or E category and a *major* roll. Flukes of 100 (on a 1d100 roll) are instant kills on everything.

Most of the Critical Hits that fall into the non crippling rolls are already covered by simplified systems already in the game, such as knockbacks, knockdowns, unconsciousness, disarm, and paralyzation. Fallout already have a crippling system for individual body parts, which works pretty good. But as you see in the thread already - "we just fix it with magic" - the purpose is completely gone.

I've proposed the three split bar for all the bars, where you can collect such crippling effects within a portion of the health bar which you cannot heal. Pause the game and hover over it and you will see the kind of damages you've taken. You can only heal the portion which is not covered by permanent damages. For the rest, you would need medical skill or seek medical attention at others, and possibly recuperate for a while (excellent game mechanics to drive game time forward).

Crippling absolutely positively serves a purpose in role playing. Unfortunately you cannot satisfy role players and casual players at the same time. And unfortunately BGS no longer focuses on the role player, but on the casual gamer. So as much as I'd want it myself, I don't expect it to be implemented.

Not really because if you have played Fallout 3 or New Vegas then the cripple function in that game was not bad at all nor was it annoying, it was merely a way to immerse the player although Fallout is not the best series to be RPing in anyways

Cant they just take the Fallout 3 system?
