I guess we can use somehting like that in a study or observatory. Or even for dungeon levels as being animated in conjunciotn with zombies.

Good good. I've seen too many, made up, unrealistic skeletons in games. Nothing is as freaky looking as a real one.

 

Hey, anyone played Calendra's Legacy?

 

Do we want to have SKELETONS as undead in our mod?? Undead skeletons rock. There aren't enough of them in games. Imagine one clattering out of the shadows at you suddenly with its arms outstretched going "ee-hahahahahaahaaaaa!!!!" in that high-pitched voice they always seem to have.

Ehhhh, i don't know. I always found skeletons walking around in games to be rather boring. I prefer zombies over them. Not to say the skeletal features can't be used in other undead, but "just" skeletons doesn't work for me.

just to play the smart ass here :

certainly not in medevial times, cauze touching/opening a human corpse was considered to be unclean/unholy. even at the time of leonardo da vinci it was still defied, that's why he broke into a mortuary at night and stole a corpse to dissect and drew it :lol: It took another 100 years till the so called enlightenment era, till doctors "were allowed" to dissect corpses themselves. that's about the time, when Rembrandt drew his famous painting "the anatomy education of Doc. Nicolaes Tulp"

 

 

eehm, BACK to Topic

 

 

I think skeletons should be an option, since there are already sekeleton-models in D3, so it should be pretty easy to tweak them for the thiefworld

It's hard to make skeletons look good moving around, but we should definitely use them for 'decoration'. I don't see any reason to model our own though, when we can just use the D3 ones.

But in that case you should limit this to western culture because in the occidental(sp?) it was quite common to be teached this with real human corpses. In western culture, students of anatomy were only allowed to take alook at (more or less) natural occurences. For example if somebody had an open fracture they could take a look at it and see how the bones are constructed, but they were not allowed to open a corpse. The arabian culture at that time was famous for their doctors, though, because they had no such reservation. There are several good books on this issue.
