New levels of "glancing" for combat
« on: September 09, 2008, 06:44:26 pm »

One thing that can get annoying in adventure mode is that you always read that your weapon blows "glance" off the target repeatedly. This is an indication that you can't hurt it. The problem is that it doesn't tell us enough information on how vulnerable the target is to your weaponry. I often find myself hacking at a seemingly invulnerable target before getting a lucky hit to the spleen.

So instead of saying "the wolf bites you but glaces away!" Repeated for 200 lines why not say something like "the wolf bites you and chips a tooth!" You could get very creative with all the permuations of combat dialog.
