xD Beautiful. I'd love explosives. That would be tasty.

As for cleaving, remember that one thing which makes Lugaru fun is the challenge. Enemies can do what you can. Would you like Turner to try to fight one-handed?
Yes. And he should be able to pick up his severed limb and beat people with it...until he dies of blood loss.

Or that weapon that that insane girl from Kill Bill Vol. 1 had...whatever the heck her name was. Well that chain ball on the really really really looooong chain...WHEEE!!! Head crush galore!!! Or...or...or...a Broadsword!! Or a...a...uh...crossbow? Or even....uh....

You know, you should just be able to pick up random crap off the ground and use it as a weapon. eg: Hey look! A turtle! *beats another rabbit across the head with it* And look!! Its a tree limb!!! *beats another rabbit across the head with it*

Er....yes, I'm crazy...

Ranged weapons like bows would be a little tricky to handle in a game like Lugaru, if they are in, I wonder what they will be like? Crosshairs? How would you aim? Because it would be really unbalanced if you automatically aimed like throwing knives...

Ranged weapons: No crosshairs, no first person view, just aim,
set power holding down mouse button or something, and shoot!
Me wants!

True, but I was just throwing out ideas...yah a crossbow would be retarded...I still like the idea of an axe that you could hack people up with...or being able to beat other people with limbs that you've had hacked off you or have hacked off other people.
@the second part: I never said I was the craziest person around. Just crazy..ish...maybe deranged and lacking common sense is a better term...or just mildly-violently-psychotic...IT RHYMES!!! WHEEEEE!!!
And no I don't put capital letters after periods, you can, but I don't...Unless I'm trying to be grammatically correct or something. ButI'mnotsoshutupn'stopbuggin'men'stuffbecauseIsaysoandnoIwon'tsoshutupn'stuffn'goaway!!! And don't get me started on being labeled the wrong gender, I've been thought of a girl online enough times that its...er...nevermind...

Back to the original topic...that scimitar one looks like you could spin it by the handle, because of the loop at the end...hehe...sweet.

I agree, like in Rune, beating someone to death with their own head is incredibly fun.
I cannot imagine you being labeled the wrong gender, online I play with a good deal of girls, (before Katrina, 2 of them died in it. 0_o) and most of them act nothing like you, except for a couple, and they are really weird. =) (Not meant as a insult.)

I think they thought I was a girl because this is my avatar:

Yeah I know strange people...well actually it was her face originally, but I got bored and wanted to see how people would react...

I did notice something, is that the AI controlled bunnies don't throw knives in L1...is that going to be added in L2?

I hope so, it would make the game a lot harder, even on Insane, I felt that L1 was rather easy.
Why would they think that because you had that avatar you were a girl? 0_o

I agree, If I saw that as an avatar, that just screams "MALE!"

The people on that forums are geeks? They lack social skills? They've never seen a real woman before? I dunno...it was funny though.

EDIT: not saying im not a geek or anything...I probably am, and I'm probably proud of it too.

How would you aim? With the mouse? That is used for the camera, with the movement keys? That would be a nightmare, can you imagine trying to aim with your movement keys?
