The_One Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 You do have to think about balancing here people. We don't want Kyle getting his hands on a very powerful weapon this early on in the game. It would completely change the way you played it. If we do end up including a fight, I don't think Kyle will be able to pick up the weapon. Maybe you could fight him, then after a while it triggers a cutscene and the weapon malfunctions. That would kill two birds with one stone...

Infinity Blade Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Actually, this is just my opinion, but... Moff Reebus was alone, possibly surprised, and I would think that researchers and scientists would be the last to pick up a gun for the empire. His description let's it go either way, but if he's so loyal that he'll fight, then he simply won't be taken alive. And for all you know, that gun he's holding isn't finished, etc. If he was wanting to live, surrender would seem like the only choice. And as far as him holding it like he did: Uhmmmmmm..... Pointing it at Kyle would surely mean he would end up decorating the walls, and dropping it would be a sudden movement.... And we all know what happens with sudden movements.... I'd personally go with cutscene of a paranoid genius at weapons development, but is also a whiny know-it-all with a sense of self preservation.

chris the cynic Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 "he simply won't be taken alive." *intresting, though stupid, idea pops into head* You could make it so you have to defend him, from him. You couldn't use a gun, because then you might kill him, but you'ld have to subdue him with your fists or else he would blow himself up with a thermal detonator. As for the balancing issue (if you let kyle get the big gun), like i said, have it break or be taken away, it's a prototype anyway maybe it wan't made to last longer than it took for the demonstration.

The_One Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I can see it in the mission briefing now... "You must stop Moff Rebus from killing himself with a thermal detonator. He also has a big gun that doesn't work. Use your fists. Remember: He is of more danger to himself, than to you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Blade Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Well, I think I still prefer the cutscene.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I'll probably make a poll on the website about this sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_collins Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 so if a cutscene itll be a scripted thing right? Any others in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris the cynic Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hey, I said it was stupid. In fact, I said that right up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
