What if you don't want to be attacked?, instead of tackling them you could stealthly sneak up on them steal they're weapon without them noticing, and then slit they're neck from behind

Yeah, gotta love the pounce'n'grab!

Nova, if you're sneaking up on them, just do a Spinecrusher+grab.

I know, i do it about 7 times every day.

i just think it would be fun to be able to steal a weapon without killing of having the rabbit notice, nothing Major.

Well, in game mechanics, the whole advantage of sheathing a weapon is so that your enemy _can't_ take it from you. If they still could even when you had it sheathed, then you'd walk around everywhere with your weapon in your hand.

Oh right

, sorry. Dumb idea.

I thought he meant while it was unsheathed… For instance, you can't sheathe a pike.

Hey, what about stealth-kill steals?

Like a guy with a bo, you grab his bo, pull it so his arm is behind his back then push it down, cracking his head open.

Well, not literally but you get the idea.

That could be interesting; Chronicles of Riddick had something like that. You could make enemies shoot themselves in the head with their own gun.

Sweet, David likes my idea.

It would make stealth kills more diverse and perhaps easier.

Also, something I noticed in L1, is that when you are fighting an enemy, you can reverse their weapons when you still have one. I think the weapon reversals should be different if you have a weapon too. Perhaps you spin the blade out of their hands, Zorro style. Or maybe you hit the hand of the enemy, making them drop their staff in pain then slide it away with the end of yours.

Woot Invertin, congrats, thats about the first time I've seen David reply to an idea

Berserking mode, a pack of rabbits/wolves comes rampaging through you're town, try to keep the friendly rabbits alive by helping fight (the friendly rabbits will also fight but only weakly)

Hey, it's not what I was talking about, it's what I thought NovaNoah was talking about.

And yes, if something's taken right from out of your hand, you're gonna notice. Especially if it's a ten foot pole arm with a metal pain-dealer on par with the size of your head…

And congrats on getting an idea noticed by God, Invertin and NovaNoah. (Hey, it was NovaNoah's idea first.)

Cmyszka · Post by **Cmyszka** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:45 pm

well then it's settled, nothing's settled...

You can't steal a sheather weap apparently and you can't steal a weapon they're holding without them knowing...

I still don't get it... i mean if you'e close enough to these things, why not just kill 'em and THEN take the weap?!

Well, a diversion from "Hey George, did you forget to take your trip to the armoury? *snigger*" is better than one from "OMFG GEORGE IS DEAD! GET HELP!", isn't it? I suppose you could hide the body, but you get the idea…
