Title: Varying animations based on distance to opponent
Post by: Gurgumul on March 10, 2016, 08:55:52 pm
Although I'm pretty sure it would be very difficult to implement in M:BG, or any other game, it would be really cool to have different animations and weapon speed, damage and other stats based on distance to the opponent. For example up close your character would bend his arm to cut the opponent with the most of his sword's edge, but far away he would stretch his arm out to at least reach the opponent with the sword's tip.

Would be really neat from a realism standpoint, but unfortunately it would detract from gameplay too much, imo. It'd be near impossible to properly judge a swing's reach.

that facial expression alone calls for area of effect damage

They should add facial expressions. Would look hilarious when you fight people. although as a purchasable DLC  :D

Best animation is no animation:

Damn, that's some pro illustrations, you got there, friend.

Anyway, if they just made some attack longer and some short, that's enough and much easier to implement. Also not dumbed down like your suggestion, would be super easy, if you didn't have to judge distance.

So some stances could have further reach, but less speed, for example.

Very good idea gurgumul but Jona is right it would be very hard to play to gauge the distance before every attack

great drawings but that´d be a lot of work to implement and gameplaywise a tricky thing
