mike mayday 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Actually, I'm not really for a running limit myself, it was very annoying both in GTA and Morrowind (never played D3), but I think adding encumbrance would add a bit of a good challenge to the game, forcing the player to choose his equipment more carefully. It's just a suggestion though, so I'm not going to argue about it, you still have a lot of work to do anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vadrosaul 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 If you are talking about encumberance then the more loot that you carry should reduce your movement speed as well. The PC should also have the option to put down his bag of loot silently, gently laying it down, not having to throw it like in Thief 1/2. Quote Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

ZylonBane 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 You guys seem to be very afraid of making the game difficult, whis I find saddening.Spoken like someone who's utterly failed to think the matter through. Making a game difficult is trivial. Making a game FUN is not. People who approach computer games as some sort of test of their manhood instead of a source of entertainment are a bit broken in the head, IMHO.

mike mayday 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Well, what else can be fun in a stealth game other than a challenge? Enough about that though. It's not like it won't be impossible to implement after the first official release. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope I have not shaken your world with this revelation (or did you already know this?)Yeah I know about the drop key , but that never gently laid items down. If you 'r' dropped an item on a hard surface it would cause a big sound, so it wasn't much better than throwing, in fact throwing would be better in some cases because then the sound would not be right at your position.

Dunedain 4 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 oddity, you aren't working that much on the dark mod any more? Arggh! The quality of oddity's modeling is just excellent, something not often seen in any mod, it has really enhanced the look of the mod. It would be a loss to not have him working on the project.

Dram 123 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 Oddity is not working on the mod so much as he used to due to RL, so yeah. He still will make one or two models every now and then, but yeah. In any case, RL comes first on anyone's list right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The model is used for reflections and although it looks strange if you use it with a first person setup, player shadow. We're not going to put a lot of time into supporting player shadow, and it's turned off by default...but you can still try it out if you wish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunedain 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) A very nicely detailed model. Hmm, that would have to be modified for no face covering (with a greenish tinge to his right eye color) and a hooded long flowing black cloak for use as Garrett in FM's the accurate way he always looked in Thief and Thief 2. Other than that, it's looks just about ready to go for Thief FM's. Edited July 1, 2006 by Dunedain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
