I like to mod Dark Messiah because it's almost perfect. Combine it with Trespasser and you have sim-like levels of immersion that have yet to be matched. It's odd that developers didn't just take those 2 physics engines and improve upon them, rather than restarting every time...

I know what you're talking about.. It's the neck slash. They push their swords up close to you quickly, and you're dead. Fortunately it's a close range attack. I could adjust it based upon armor, but I think it gives they guards the extra bite they need.

Some bash/blunt attacks/kicks are also deadly. At first I thought it seemed broken... then I thought, if you get knocked over in combat, you're done. Same with your enemies.

Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you like it! Check out my new mod: ClassMod.

This is my attempt to morph this game into the most immersive, realistic (within reason) action sim out there.

Things I'd still like to change (let me know if you know how and want to help!)

-Create scripts to auto-equip weapons, armor and spells as you select a class
-Edit the levels to include more locked doors, paths, items, enemies, etc.
-Create new sequences + levels
-Further edit item stats + effects (such as remove poison dagger glow, change poison bow damage, etc.)
-More immersive, choice related effects (heavy armor makes you lose stamina faster, move slower, sink in water), (daggers make you use more stamina to block, but less to attack with), (

Ultimately, this game is one of the best ever made because of the level of interaction you can have in it. The fact that new games are made without using this work IS INSANE! The wheel has been created, and it works wonderfully. New games do have many excellent designs and features, but to not include physics (AND IMPROVE UPON THEM!) like in this game.... asinine, for sure. Anyway, enjoy the mod, try to beat the Master Challenge, and upload some streams! Have fun!
