Realistic item drops
|
Hi all, hope this wasn't mentioned elsewhere, but I can't possibly read 30+ threads.
I think item drop should be "realistic": If a tiny spider drops a great polearm, I lose immersion. And it would be great if monsters actually use the items they drop. So if you want that honking great über-sword, you have a harder time killing the previous owner. Perhaps this should even be visible in the monster's hand? That would allow players to concentrate on the interesting monsters. Or does that take the excitement out of rare drops? May your maps be bountiful, exile

They're aiming for "slot-machine" rather than "realistic" drops - it'd be kinda boring if you knew you could only get usable equipment off of bandits and skeletons. Seriously, what equipment can a tiny spider drop if we're being realistic? Never mind how "realistic" a spider that size is in the first place.
So, in this case, they've chosen to sacrifice some degree of immersion in favor of a great deal of choice in worthwhile opponents. I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out. Heard its twisted dreamed inanity In a whisper, in a shout. In the babbling cacophony The refrains are all the same: "[permutations of humanity] are unworthy of the name!" |

Well, I guess small oponents can drop gems or skill stones or other small stuff.
On second thought, I do agree making the drop visible before it drops is kinda silly... May your maps be bountiful, exile

How about a better drop animation...

I would like this to an extent. I don't think it would lose immersion with a spider dropping huge items but I do want to see items scale to their previous owner. I NEVER want to fight a big boss and not get anything just because I got a bad roll of a die.

@Treffnix
You must lose 'immersion' in every aRPG/MMORPG/RPG under the sun, there has never been a 'realistic' drop from any mob, in any game. You want realism go kill a spider irl and see what loot it drops ;). There are only 10 kinds of People.
