possible problems with "Ragdoll" Physics

I know, I know, ragdoll physics are great and all that, but I can only see it being good in, say, a ragdoll

one of the many problems is that we have a bone and muscle system; there are some ways of moving that just look strange or groteque if you really think about it. True, it is better than just a simple "get hit, go down" "physics," but "Ragdoll" physics can be advanced. I wouldn't be surprised if they do this one way or another.

It's a given that any technology that we have now will be upgraded, and I don't really see why you should complain about bizzare positions that you can make. They make the game better.

Lugaru 2 is going to have a very realistic ragdoll system.

Awsome. realistic to the point of cut tendons? I think that would be really cool.

that's why hl2 ragdoll physics are so kickass, they do have constraints on them nd resistences similar to muscles

wow, that would be awsome.

I think what your trying to say is that when a ragdoll dies, they just shouldnt go limp.
I think it would be cool is that if you kicked someone off a high place, they would flail around realisiticly.

The original Lugaru uses ragdolls with bone and muscle constraints, and Lugaru 2 will as well.

But really, think about it. Being able to run up behind someone and cut their hamstrings, causing them to fall to the ground in pain. That would be really cool.

Dont get your hopes up. I doubt the game will be anatomicly correct (and I dont mean penises sickos!)

No penies? Aww.... You know, I was really banking on some rabbit on rabbit action.

i think we should be able to rip out their spine and they just fall to the ground like cloth.....and then use the spine as a weapon!@!!!!!!!
