Improved Piggies Mod Idea

[aquilantiqua]

The most major reason for this in my opinion was because of the reduced scare factor, which was not what we were really expecting since this is an Amnesia title.

Funny that you mentioned that because one of main point of criticism regarding scare factor in DD was a chase music that gave up monster encounter. Go on, visit the forum section for that game, read yourself.

Another factor is the amount of damage a monster can do and how fast they move. These IMO can drastically change how much you're scared of of them. A good example of this is the Grunt and the Brute.

Yet again you are wrong - unlike DD pigs actually can catch you up. In original game I had no issues with outrunning monsters as long as I want. Pigs ARE faster.

Damage is the same - 3 hits from normal pig, 2 from Tesla. DD: 3 from Grunt, 2 from Brute.


So... what was your points again?

Actually, I could run straight for a pig, jump OVER it, run past it, and still escape with quite a comfortable finish. Tested multiple times(virtually every time a pig was in my way; at least 3 times.)

I couldn't even sprint a straight line for more than 20 feet without a grunt hitting me in TDD.

Yep. As far as I remember, the Brutes are slightly faster than you and the Grunts have a charge ability that lets them catch right up to you if you're running in a straight line.

Spoiler below!

I was able to basically stroll past most of the pigs even if they spotted me and the only times I ever really had to panic and book it were near the centrifuge and outside during the London scene. And even then, neither of them caught up to me and got a hit off. So imo they could definitely be a little more dangerous.
