Wrestling-like attack menu...
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:51:16 pm »

I think when you pick "attack" you should be given a menu on where to aim. The better you are with your weapon, the more accurate you'll be. Also, if you're really good with it, you could make yourself aim for the heart, lungs, etc. I'm sick of leaving decapitations to luck...

Actually there is a menu like that, but its quite difficult to handle so they should improve on it. I think its only for wrestling moves though...

This has been suggested before but it is something I would like to see. Being able to wield weapons differently would be cool for things like swords (pierce/slash).

This is in the dev notes:

Quote
# Req230, AIMED SHOTS AND BODYPART SIZES, (Future): Should be able to aim at parts, AI should do it too, body parts currently have relative sizes but it should depend on the creature rather than just the part type.

It also gets suggested a lot:
