[40d] Animals using inappropriate wrestling moves
« on: September 23, 2008, 09:05:27 pm »
In adventurer mode, while fighting wolves I've had them choke me with their paws and forelegs. I haven't verified whether other animals do this, but it seems to me that only plantigrade animals (apes, bears, raccoons, etc.) should be able to perform moves like this.

I wonder if even those animals should be able to perform chokes.  I know animals can kind of toss each other around, and some animals will choke with their mouths on the neck, and others like the constrictors will...  constrict with their bodies, but I'm unaware of animals that do chokes with their grasps or limbs, or do any kind of locks or whatever in any way, aside from just tussling or certain ritualized mating battles.  Anyway, I'll note it down.  I'll probably strip out most wrestling completely from all creatures without CAN_LEARN awaiting special flags to expand it in certain ways for a few of them.

I was strangled by a giant cave spider once.  I was playing as a modded creature that had such a high DAMBLOCK that the spider couldn't bite through my hide. 

He still managed to kill me.  Damned spiders...

I had an Whiskey Tengo Foxtrot moment when I got the message:

Wolf releases grasp on your nose with it's right rear upper leg.

I do NOT want to know what my adventurer was trying to do that got her in that position.

I suspect you aren't the first to be afflicted by inappropriate animal wrestling moves. A few weeks ago, my adventurer was cock-slapped by a bear.

You're lucky he didn't get cock grabbed. By the adventurer...
