Why has no video game yet really incorporated this:

Ok, lets take for example DIablo II. Is it too much to ask to have, say, 4 stages for a person's appearance.

Appearance I: standard starting
Appearance II: larger as strength is gained
dito, so basically as a character gains strength they get larger and larger.

Alternatively as a magician gains in magic they could become more frail and feeble looking (like all great mages).

I realize this would make for many many more graphics (all the ones they currently have for chars plus all over again for each size), but from a programming point of view its easy as hell and I think would be really cool.

As someone already mentioned, I believe EverQuest did this. What they did not mention was that EQ did this in 1998.

Anyone who got fooled by this necro obviously didn't RTFT. This is like the third or fourth post.

Plus, it would take up more memory, especially on the clients end. That's alright to most of us that have 128mb+ ram and PIII700, but a lot of ppl out there are still running PII200 w/64meg ram and TNT.

If anything that should be done to enhance the visual quality of the game is RESOLUTION!!! 640x480 does not cut it today! 4 yrs ago it was fine, but today that is just way too low.

I know this is a necro thread... but all the Dragon Ball Z games did it... you become Super Saiyan and your character turns blonde with muscles back in the 1990s...

I think Fist of the North Star too...

Altered Beast by SEGA pre-1990

This is why I gave it a solid 8 on the necro scale. The Original Poster is none other than the first account of the most nefarious, prolific troll RBM poster of the forum history, Skoorb himself.

This has been a nice thread. Much nostalgia and information. I don't understand the stigma agaist Necros. BTW, Necros in EQ were one of the exmples given as an answer in the earlier posts here.

This is a Skoorb thread!?!
How many have been lost over the years since the late 90's when I first joined, and ASSHAT was a common retort.
