re: VATS groin shots

Since Bethesda decided to make Fallout 3, we figured we might as well have a forum about it.

re: VATS groin shots

Post by cazsim83 »

an interview w/ Emil Pagliarulreiruioj:

"And of course, later in the conversation, the sore subject of groin shots reared its ugly head.

Emil - Quick answers — no groin shots because it took long enough for us to get the other body parts balanced. And we were afraid the groin shots would instantly change the tone to “goofy� — so they didn’t make the cut.

Yes, it seems groin shots were the tipping point on the goof-o-meter. Truly a fine line between the comedic and the dramatic that the designers had to walk. Steel be with them in that endeavor."

What the hell else were groin shots for???

Also, didn't see this in the news section but wanted to give briosafreak some love - CanardPC hates FO3 - which you'd know if you've been reading our news!

How about the part where melee characters get jipped of any called shots?

That is fucking criminal. How hard is it to code? Time flows in the VATS as you make the shot. It could just as easily flow with your melee attack whether your character was within distance of your target or within a few steps of your target.

"steel be with you" --

that phrase when i heard it in game put discustful shivers down my spine. how aweful it was. memories of oblivion (nightmares) came back.

It is not hard to put a little more than what they already did.
