wrestling interface

The wrestling interface is a nightmare.  Perhaps little body diagrams with letters next to them to press for what attacks what?  And menus that appear when the other moves are available?

There can be a few menus.  Body diagrams are almost impossible since the bodies are all different.

How about a modification to the menu that asks what you want to grapple with, and then is followed by what you want to grapple. At least this way you break it down a bit into a less confusing mess.

That was the quick fix idea on the other thread I think, maybe it was you that mentioned it.  Sounds like a good start -- there's also going to be aimed shots at some point, and some other additions, so some kind of body part selector will be useful.  I mean, you always want to.  Select body parts.

Don't think it was me.

Also, some of the wrestling stuff seems weird. using a shield to grab someone by something for one thing.

You can't do much when that hold though.  It's just sort of tangle up, you can kind of throw them down with it maybe.  I think.
