Knocking people unconscious without killing them.

[PointAndClick 6]

I think the game is missing a 'middle ground' between letting a player live (move/aim/shoot) or killing them.

The ability to 'k.o.' would add a nice layer. It would render a threatening situation into one that is manageable. Any player who doesn't move and doesn't aim at me is my best friend.

There are several ways to implement. I'll mention a few options.

* Bare hands

Simply get close, scroll, select 'knock out' and you proceed to hit them on the jaw.

* Blunt weapon

Removing the scroll option for swift action as the only function of a blunt weapon would be to knock players out.

* Taser

Giving you that little bit of range.

* Rubber bullets

Turning your gun into a knock out machine.

You should only be able to loot from the backpack when players are unconscious to keep a contrast between killing and knocking out.

Thoughts?

Some cool ideas though. Many would still chose to kill on sight though, so it might be slightly pointless.

If I knock someone out, I want the ability to loot ANYTHING from them. If I could ONLY loot stuff from their backpack, there is great incentive to just kill them to get access to all their gear.

This concept of knocking people out is good.

Just shoot them in the leg. Knocked out (bleeding..) I know this isnt what u where looking for but its always something :)
