^^^ Yeah, I kinda share the same opinon... to a point. Somethin like hands/forearms would be cool, but not every time. Something like, say an extremely perfect kill/death blow, whoosh goes a hand/arm. Nothin like heads/mid-sections bouncing off the floor though, save that for JO/JA.

Definately!

 

And it would also raise the games ESRB Violence rating, and that's probably something some younger fans of the game wouldn't want to happen anyway.

Oh come on people! It's a LIGHTSABER! If it makes contact it would cut right through anyone. I think Lucas made that pretty obvious in his movies... but I know not everyone likes to see that sort of thing so I vote to have it as a toggle function you can turn on at will.

Actually Rhordae lightsabres do not effortlessly slide through matter, you have to apply pressure for the blade to slice anything. Lightsabers are plasma contained by an electromagnetic field and that field itself will create resistance.

 

Example 1: EP6 Throne Room Duel, Luke nails Vader on the shoulder and it does not effortlessly cut Vader's arm off, if you look closely Luke was wildly swinging, it was a glancing blow and Luke did not have much force behind the blow.

 

Example 2: EP2 Dooku vs. Obi-Wan Dooku's lightsabre wounds Obi-Wan's arm and leg but does not effortlessly do so, Dooku pulls the blows, in order to do something like that with a weapon it has to have some impact resistance to begin with.

 

Example 3: EP1 Qui-Gon Jinn and the Blast Door watch Liam Neeson's acting he is applying effort to his sabre to cut the door, it is not effortlessly slicing the door, when the secondary blast doors close as well it slows his cutting down even more.

 

Sorry there Rhordae, but the movies clearly show that lightsabres require effort to swing and cut with, and do not simply cut on contact.

ok this what i think i think that by default you shouldn't have the dismembering with the lightsabre in the game

 

however i do belive that a cheat should be available to let you have it in if you so wish so its then a matter of choice by the player and because its a cheat and not automaticly available it wont be an 18 rating so the younger players can still get it

 

very much like what they did with mortal kombat all those years ago when they had all that controversy about the blood in the game

I agree. If you want it, you have the ability to have it. If you don't, you don't have to think about it. Also, if they don't have it as an option in a configuration screen (only available by cheating), they can keep the ESRB rating down at T, instead of up at M.

Unfortunately, and this is very sad to me, but it would might surprise you to know how easy it is for kids to obtain the 17+ year video games.

 

There have been articles upon articles on how many kids have the Playstation game Grand Theft Auto.

 

The 17+ rating is not very well enforced and this is still a hot debate. Most of it stems from parents not really knowing about the games.

 

For this reason I have to agree with the posters who DO NOT want to have dismemberment in the game.

 

If parents suddenly found out that a Star Wars game was overly violent, then it would be a black eye to Lucas and many fans worldwide.
