I've probably complained about this earlier, but here I go again:
I know that the various room messages were meant to add some diversity to the game.
But some of the room messages just look silly and are generally irritating to me.
Below are two examples:
1. Snakes with arms and legs?
Gratefully the move messages seem to have been fixed, so that animals no longer hike or trudge.
But one annoying thing remains with bodyparts.
The fight code mentions different bodyparts that you hit when fighting a mob. (Like arms, legs, shoulders etc.)
This would be fine if you actually DID hit that particular bodypart.
And even better if the armor on that bodypart played a role in how hard the damage was.
But as it is, the messages seem to be mostly cosmetic.
And that would be OK too, as long as the mob you are fighting is humanoid.
But it just looks silly when the mob is an animal.
EXAMPLE: You penetrate the snake and abuse its right leg with your slash.
2. Priests and bears that fly?
It seems that all mobs that are 'imm level', i.e. above 51, habitually fly.
It looks extremely silly, when a dignified priest or a huge bear suddenly starts to levitate.
EXAMPLE: The Apollo Priest flaps his wings and lifts himself a little higher.
