Optional feature suggestion: "Non-lethal" Arrests

Anybody else remember the time before ragdolling in COH?  Weird to think about.  OK, derail finished.

I was around for it. Ragdolling almost feels like it was a fad given I don’t see it in newer MMOs (ex. SWTOR) and wouldn’t mind at all it they just went back to the old fixed death animations. The number of times that would look weird (ex. dies on a slope) is dwarfed by the number of times the ragdoll rolls into some horrible shape that could only be explained by all PCs having the super power of turning skeletons to jelly.

 

Also notable are the mobs who expressly don’t ragdoll (players and the Croatoa natives most memorably) and look absolutely fine.

 

So yeah, I think the look of the game would be overall improved if ragdolling were just turned off entirely.

This could be a lot of fun.  Use the AR animations.   Tasers, pepper spray, sonic deterrents, putrecine gas bomb, blinding lightsthe microwave thing the military has that nakes your skin feel like you are roasting.   This could be a great control set.  100% non lethal.  Humane?    Roflmao.  Sure.  Yes!
