Melee attack bug
« on: May 05, 2014, 10:29:43 am »
Love this patch so much, still haven't finished exploring :P + my twinbrother FINALLY bought this game too :D UNDERRAIL YEAAA!

But now business: sometimes melee enemy's surround me. This ain't a big deal because I have a knife, but when I can't attack this is a problem. This bug occurred with Junkyard Thugs, Burrower Spawns, Siphoners, Rathounds and Mutated Dogs so far. I can still shoot them with my .44 (or any other ranged weapon), but I find it very unrealistic that I can't stab (or use any other melee attack) my opponents while they are right in front of me.
Gameplay, that's the reason why I PLAY a GAME

I'd like to hijack this thread for another related point:
I occasionally find myself engaged in melee while not quite in the center of a square, for example in a door.
I can't attack back even with a ranged weapon, often needing to go back up to three squares to get a clear line of fire from somewhere else. Shooting enemies further away is just fine.
Btw, that's obviously still true with melee, but Banggunner said he could still shoot.
With the same weapon, to boot.

I hereby declare that I love the oddity system and am in favour of shop and carry limits.

I've encountered both of these bugs.

It's quite frustrating (I usually quickload when this happens, since it makes no sense).

Bump,
Because of this Acidic entanglement is a death sentence to a exclusive melee character.
Force emissions on my psy/melee hybrid used to help because it gave range to your punches but it no longer applies. :(
