Death/knockout blows in arena

[winterline]

A few small changes I'd like to see/hear. When the person is knocked out or killed, they shouldn't grunt the way they do while they are taking damage during the fight. There should be a few distinct variations:

- knockout blows to the head should be close to silent or cause them to moan or twitch on the ground
- death should be silent or a gurgle depending on the weapon
- a finishing body blow to any part should have them screaming in pain due to broken/fractured bone, internal damage or torn muscle, they should drop their weapon and clutch the body part, even cream "my leg my leg!"
- they should drop and scream "I yield!"/"enough"/"please stop" etc.

Also, since it's an arena, there should be a gong or some audio indication that the fight is over, for the most part it's obvious, however occasionally it looks like I've simply knocked them down and I rush in to hit them on the ground. There is a small delay of them dropping their weapon, which is realistic, but if it was combined with a different vocal sound it would be better.

The language spoken has yet to be chosen still, but some changes like these would be pretty good

I liked the part where they cream their legs. That would be pretty hot.

I think I made a post like this, earlier like at the end of last year.

I figured that someone or multiple people have made a similar suggestion, I only hoped that I might be able to add one extra idea, I like your ideas. Another point would be that body blows while boxing or blunt weapons cause them to run away and get in a fetal position the way you see in MMA.

I'm glad to see others support the idea. I wont claim it as my own. I just wanna see it in the game.
So the more people who come up with this idea the better!

That is a nice idea. I think that can be nicer if there are other partecipants in arena that we can meet again (maybe hire) or not if we spare their lifes or not.

That's a great idea for the arena, teams could send out challenges to your team, they could even be death match categories.

I would hope that in Sui Generis there is an arena, and within it are teams/factions, they would jump ship to your team, your team mates might abandon you for them, maybe even meet them out in a dungeon also wanting what you are after, resulting in a 'bad blood' fight.

Maybe reputation in the arena. Say you finish off a lot of enemies when they beg to live.
You'll be known as a fearsome adversary. and they will take less chances and finish you off if given the chance.

But if you spare a lot of enemies: Well. Maybe you could get free "hirelings"?

I just thought of Skyrim when you beat a bandit down and they yell "I YIELD I YIELD," run away, then come back when they recover a bit of health, and get slaughtered.

Some ne'er-do-wells never learn, do they?

Anyway, I think short of a spoken language, I think perhaps a death should be an interrupted sound and a basic defeat should be a basic scream, so the it would be:
- Knockout = "YAAARGH!"
- Death = "YAAAR-"
