Mansh00ter Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Realism == as little suspense of disbelief required as possible. As a whole, humans have no difficulty accepting someone shooting lightning bolts out of their ass, but have trouble accepting that those lightning bolts proceed to do little to no damage. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet4571 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am talking from a game design perspective. Bonus against lightning attacks and vulnerable to fire would be the simple way of putting it. electricity goes through the metal and is released into the ground so it is strong against same thing with having a ground wire for wiring. with heat though the metal acts like an oven and bakes you. both are intuitive unless you are completely ignorant and those fools couldn't figure a way out of a wet paper sack if they had a machete and really when games are made for them the games are too easy and suck requiring realism mods to fix them. Plus having realism in the name and being the complete opposite of real is like saying poop tastes good with cornflakes. neither are true. Now for the leather it could be strong against fire or cold and weak against lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleonil Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey, really good work, keep it up :)Now I don't know if it has been asked or anything (sorry if it's the case) but will you put new racial traits in consideration?For example:-Nords: less penalties being drunk + Need to eat more-Argonians: less food required / hunger comes more slowly + Penalties for being Drunk-Khajiits: withstands raw food a lot better + Penalties for being Drunk (argonians and khajiits being animals)-Elves (black and wood): reaching different stages of sleep deprivation takes longer + stages of hunger and water comes faster-Humans + Redguards: No penalties + No bonuses Or something like this, I think it would be a nice touch and add to the realism :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansh00ter Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 @Poleonil, racial traits sound like fun, but will have to be pushed back to the end of the schedule to avoid feature creep. Priority right now is getting Basic Needs to a feature-finished state and nicely playable and continuing on with Combat Overhaul. Once Total Realism is finished I would be glad to add details such as the ones you mentioned, to even further deepen the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneJelly Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The updates are good, but I don't think a full water bottle should weigh more than an iron sword, which weighs 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansh00ter Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just wait for the Combat Overhaul, you'll see how much an iron sword weighs. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levgre Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Water is actually pretty heavy, 10 pounds per gallon. Not sure what size water bottle we are talking about here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
