That's one good leek you had there. Looks good. I just wonder - will he be able to jump this time...
Don't know, I just prefer seeing character jump up and over something when I hit "space" instead of pause.I do agree that it's no big deal thou.
In order for Jumping to be introduced, then it would have to have a purpose. Ergo - obstacles, mazes, puzzles and the sorts would have to be implemented in mapsthat would force you to jump over the barriers or whatever. Not to mention that the fighting style would have to allow you to jump at random in a fight. :hmmm:Blackwood said:
If we should get more individual freedom to dodge and parry (I guess something like that was mentioned somewhere) why shouldn't include this jumping?I don't like the idea very much to get points to distribute for old skills and then when the leveling begins I work for new skills. I really love to earn each level up and the rewarded points/talents. Maybe Geralt learns new abilities? I don't know how this will be solved in regard to the Witcher signs because there just these signs we have in TW1 and no other signs to learn. Well, we don't have Heliotrop which is in FCR.
Tell, me, beside Igni and Aard, what purpose other signs have? was there for instance a need to make drowner swim for you somewhere and unlock a door or anything like that? so why controle his mind then? There's no need of purpose, it's fun as it is, isn't it? so TW2 wouldn't be harmed by ability to jump a little.56236 said:
Oh, trust me... the other signs could be used to out-smart opponents. Strategically placed, you don't even need your sword sometimes.But, if you were being sarcastic... you were wrong to say signs were worthless so might be wrong to assume jumping won't have a bigger role than maneuverability.Blackwood said:
eace:Quen is supposed to be a shield so you'll be protected for a brief moment. It gives you some time to down another potion or buff your sword if you need to. In the books Heliotrop shields from spells, but Quen takes over that purpose in game. Axii, I honestly never used. I think (and I might be wrong) that it's meant to use enemies as minions, so they'll help you kill other monsters for a bit. Yrden makes very fun spikes, which keep enemies from touching you while giving them pain and doing some damage. I would very much like the ability to jump. I'm thinking of the swamp, where there's that tiny little fence, maybe shin high, which you have to walk all the way around, when Geralt really could just walk over the bloody thing. Jumping is your friend.
I assumed nothing, I just said that I would like to see Geralt jump a little with or without purpose, as even without purpose it would be fun, just like those signs, which I hardly ever used.
with or without purpose, as even without purpose it would be fun, just like those signs, which I hardly ever used.I know nothing about how games actually work, or what the engine may or may not allow, but maybe that could put a sort of lock on jumping in combat, like they locked spells and swords when you weren't in a dangerous place? Just a thought... I agree with you on combat jumping; it seems silly for Geralt to jump randomly, unless he's doing one of his fancy combo moves.If there's any water in TW2, it would also be nice if Geralt could swim. Although, I guess the guy is carrying around two 40+ pound swords on his back, which would make anyone cautious about going in too deep.
Now that's strange, as Geralt does jump in combat. That either while you hit movement key twice to jump over an enemy, or when you, for instance, fight in strong-style, and Geralt jumps to slice enemy, steps back and attacks again (if it's needed). And I can't say that it looked bad or unnatural.Dezired said:
Yes.. those are jumps that are animated to work with the combat.. they work in co-operation with the enemy's animations and position. A normal jump wouldn't.. it wouldn't take anything into account.. if it would.. it wouldn't be any different from what we had in TW1.Blackwood said:
One of the things I really, really like about TW1 is that Geralt does the fighting. He's got the training; I'm just a player.PetraSilie said:
I make the high-level strategic decisions, and Geralt carries them out. I don't want to have to direct every movement -- parry here, dodge there, now swing -- and I thought the combat system of TW1 was great in that it allowed the player to do a lot without having to do it all. So I hope the combat system in TW2 is similar.As for just plain jumping, yes, please. What do you mean, Geralt can't jump over that ankle-high wall, and I have to go the long way around? I'd like to see jumping available for general movement though the world, though I hope not to have to direct the combat in excruciating detail.
I found Quen very useful in the striga fight, when I wanted to lift the curse and not harm Adda. Cast Quen and stand there filing my nails while Adda expended her energy uselessly -- it was great. ;DPetraSilie said:
Yes, that's what I mean to say! Jumping is useful, but I don't want to have to tell Geralt when to jump in combat, and I don't want him bouncing around like Tigger just for the heck of it.Corylea said:
