Execution Move

[di0xide02]

Right now there's no real way to distinguish a dead body from an unconscious one...that's fine since we the player can put on a pretty convincing "lay there still as if dead" performance, but how about the ability to hack/stab/shoot bodies lying on the ground, and if they are unconscious rather than dead, the attack will kill them for good.

 

[Jhaerik]

I think it would be nice. Seeing as there are no target ranges, would give me a target to practice on.

 

[NikkTheTrick]

Yes! We must be able to finish off those bastards!

 

[Skanky Burns]

20 denar per slave.
0 denar per body.

 

[Malleus]

Arrows cost money, dead cost nothing.

But I second the execution idea, because it adds to the game

 

[NikkTheTrick]

20 denar per slave.
0 denar per body.

So what! That knight have couched your spirited charger and has crippled him. Now he is unconscious. Won't killing him be worth 20 goddamn denars?

Finishing would give no benefit except satisfaction

lol, for some reason when I read this, I pictured Mortal Kombat and its fatalities.

That would be pretty funny, I would love to pull off some fatalities against those sea raiders

Anyway, I think some differentiation between a dead body and unconscious would be good.
Not sure I would lay into a dead body with my axe, usually theres too many other enemies around to worry about.

Your quivers and ranged weapons replenish after battles, without a cost.
Implement this, and we can pin-cushion dark knights, at anytime we want!

It isnt much glory in killing an foe who cant defend himself. but it should be a finishing move to enemies you knock down, like a back stab right after he falls and tries to get up.

WHAT? Mutilation of an unconscious foe is the greatest form of art there is!

I'm feeling uncomfotable knowing that you are in the same country as I.

No. Slashing the head of an enemy, then watch it roll down a hill. thats art.

No. Waking up the enemy, tying him to a tree with his back facing you and then cutting the whole alphabet on his back before he dies - that is art!
Not to mention cutting limbs off Vaegir knights till they pledge their allegiance to Swadia!

Doesn't realy matter. The world is small. He will get you anywhere.

 

[Can O Soup]

Mutilating a corpse is wrong? Beowulf "did it". Mmmm, Beowulfy.

 

[Juno]

meh im not really bothered although it would be pretty cool

lol when i read the title of this thread at a glace i thought it said erection move >_<

 

[Hunter]

Death to the Swadian dubasses! may none survive the cleansing hand of god(me)!

(might be effective against swords sisters.)

Now.., writing the alphabet is for kids, besides: writing is litterature. draw your weapons and make smileys on the back of a swadian sissy (some people call them knights)!
if that doesnt stop your barbarian thirst for more blood, then slash off his head and start making bigger drawings on the ground.

the art of head rolling is the forecommer of football and in some places golf or baseball.

 

[svart]

Would be nice to have something gothic style.
A fallen enemy could be stabbed to the heart and then the sword would be rotated 180 degrees (while still stuck in his heart) before taken out.
*insert loud screams in background*

Talking about screams, those damn neighbours are screaming so loud, i might have to go to the basement and shut them up

 

[Hunter]

there should be blood on the swords after a slash or stab. after a huge battle my sword is clean almost shiny.

Personally I think that a life of toil and misery as a galley slave is much better revenge than a quick, unconscious death. I usually go out of my way to capture annoying enemies ALIVE and kill the rest.
