Why Are There No Guns In Overture?

[Linux.Blue]

my only point is, if a demon takes several hits to die, and there are others around (or even a solo tough demon), it can be tense or even scary. You'd almost have to make the penumbra creatures stronger to make it scary.
Part of the reason I like Penumbra is because I don't have to use any sort of gun. even if I want to badly.
a gun that has a 50/50 chance in even firing, maybe, or one of those real stubborn ones that are old, rusty, hard to fire, if you were shaking so much, it'd be hard to fire, than maybe, but in a way, it feels like a cheat code then.
is there a way to mod the game, have guns and see what it's like? it may be fun to try it out. who knows
