I mean we have people burn alive when killed with a fire spell and other elemental attacks - it's more grusome then anything in BG1 or 2. It's just no one takes it seriously enough to care. They can add beheadings and dismemberment and it still won't feel "crunchy".
Exactly, I guess there always will be a spill from Larian overhappiness persistent midday sunshine.
Would be nice if some of the grime or blood would remain on the models, at least until we rest or something along those lines.
That would bbe great idea. It does not need to be like DAO.
Honestly, I've always thought monsters exploding when you hit them with a crossbow bolt or sword is dumb. First time I played Neverwinter Nights in Gore mode I was like, "What? Come on. I don't care how hard you hit an enemy, they aint gonna explode into chunky, gory bits. It's ridiculous.
In BG1/2 there was limitation of the engine, so they had to be exaggerated. Still felt satisfying though.
I certainly hope that final product will look at least as good as
this.
Not too bad for its time.
