Also, moving around quickly and abruptly in Six-Degrees-Of-Freedom can be quite jarring and could also cause motion sickness. Not many games at the time had this - other then the old Descent games - and thus they made it slightly 'floaty' to let players learn how to use it easier. Six-Degrees-Of-Freedom is also a fairly unique idea, and certainly was more unique at the time. To this end, the developers might've deemed it more acceptable to spend less time making the controls too tight. Six-Degrees-Of-Freedom is a relatively difficult feature to implement, not only because of the computations, but also trying to find an actual applicable reason to have it. I cannot speak from personal gaming experience, but from what I've seen with videos and explanations, it seems that the 'floaty' controls are justifiable.īecause Descent 3 - like its prequels - is a six-degrees-of-freedom style game, having 'floaty' controls could come from two different reasons: Pass on this place, there's nothing inside. Saves you from breaking into a place only to find the people don't even have two septim to rub together. There's something near this shadowmark worth stealing. Whoever said membership didn't have its privileges? a gift from the Guild for the thief in the field. Who says we only take and never give back? If you find this shadowmark near a chest or maybe a hollowed log, you're in for a surprise. hard-earned stolen goods for a fair price. This should quickly become your favorite shadowmark. These people are under the Guild's protection and should never be robbed or assaulted. As in stay out of there or there's going to be a boot up the backside. We put these shadowmarks on places we don't want you to go. You see this shadowmark and escape is just a few steps away. Now, on the rare occasion (it better be a rare occasion if you want to work in the Guild) that you find yourself in jail, look for this little beauty. It means there's something ahead or beyond that door that wants to turn you inside-out. If you see this shadowmark, head the other way or take your life in your own hands. If you see one of these, head the way it's pointing and you'll be fine. We usually leave this shadowmark when we've scouted and found a safe way around something, a hallway without traps or maybe a house that's already cleared out. If you see this shadowmark, someone from the Guild is nearby for certain. This means the place is as safe as the Flagon's cistern.
