First Person View/Battle Taunts

[Nski]

Just a little aesthetic thing i thought might be neat. The ability to see through the eyes of one of your squad members during battle would be kinda neat, also along with that, it would also be cool to hear some battle taunts once the sound is up and running. These kind of things would be nice to give the game some life.

Hmmm not sure this would be all that great to be honest. Mount and blade does it while managing other characters but that system is different from kenshi.
It would be neat but confusing in my opinion.

There is around a post about that called "hero mode" i would post but i can t atm, and the taunts are pretty much planned, there is even a grey button on the UI for it.

Regarding the first person maybe just a button you can hit if you have one character selected you can kinda control them but same kenshi controls as normal you just get to see from their point of view. Like total war's cinematic camera a little thing at the end just for some immersion/epicness and notice else.

"Taunt" Should Make Characters Shout Taunts

Lol woops. Still that one has comments from the dev team, and plenty of made up insults.

First person combat would make this same so AWESOME once you've set up all your stuff! Just imagine you have an army of 200 people following you, all set up to be stealth assassins, medics, tanks, damage.

Meanwhile you can take control of your main character ONLY. If somebody could just make a mod I would personally give them money. We have animations for all the attacks, we're just looking at them from a different point of view.

Also there would be no real advantage or requirement of going first person. If you tried to block it would roll damage based on your character's block rating. Attack rate would be the same, as well as attack damage. The only real advantage is that you could aim for the enemies weak spots. (such as dust bandits wearing heart protector, so you go for hitting them in places other than the chest)

If you lock the camera on a character, zoom all the way in, and angle the camera parallel to the ground, that's about as close as I think you're going to get to 1st-person view.
Unless Chris releases the source code (highly unlikely), I don't think it would be possible to create a mod that allows you to control what actions a character takes during combat.
