Provide more information upon death

Post by Haba »

Dying in H&H is kinda... shit. You spend hundreds of hours on building your char, then when the HHP reaches 0 you're simply thrown to character select screen. Bang, that's it. Fuck off.

Pretty traumatic experience, I'd say.

Could you at least put some kind of a death screen in there?

Also seeing the cause of the death scenario a bit longer (even if as a frozen screenshot) would be helpful, sometimes you die too fast to actually see what happened.

And maybe put on the tombstone the reason why the character died. Would be nice if the inherited runestones didn't vanish, so you could enjoy the results of your actions Cannon Fodder style.

We've been meaning to do this for a long while, yeah. Should be fixed. Making a note of it.

I always actually liked it. Especially the old login screen music. It was such a sad thing to me.

That last final crunch, the wisp of death, and then...

Would be great if it allows you to view your character stats and inventory before logging you off.

You can't manipulate them, of course, but a chance to take screenshots before starting over makes for a more memorable experience.

If there is going to be a death screen, it should explain how to inherit your old char because it's not intuitive at all.
