First I looked at Witzig's compilation of threads, then I did a search. I was actually quite shocked not to find a specific thread on adding bleeding and bandaging to RO:O. So, I'd like to draw a bit of attention to this subject for TW *fingers crossed*, or more likely, the RO:O community modders, to consider.
I'm not a coder, but I have made a few useful observations that lead me to believe that a bleeding system could be quite easily and efficiently implemented. In fact, from what I've seen of the player damage system, TW seems to have tailored its detail for just this end (along with other goodies like arm/leg/head damage; each carrying its own impact on the character. Thanks TW!) A believably realistic bleeding system would be a welcome addition.
For the sake of immersion and playability, as a counter to bleeding, I'd imagine bandaging would be called for. I would see each player handling his own bandaging; So no, I'm not suggesting medics.
Ultimately it would be really nice to see TW insert these features as a standard server option, but a good mod would do nicely to accommodate too.
I realize this wouldn't be for everyone, but I am curious as to how many folks would be interested in playing on a server that had these features. Are there any RO:O realism coders out there that are considering this?
Thoughts? Feedback?
