I got tired of foraging pretty quickly once I got to Fairhaven. I'd spend half an hour finding somewhere to prospect and someone would come along and deplete the entire hillside in one fell swoop - lol. I still have no idea how a 2x critter could kill me in 3 hits with me hardly damaging it when 3x wasn't too tough on Nub Island. Often I find myself shaking my head and thinking "I don't get it."

Then I made a Ferox to check out the desert and try melee, but every few seconds he keeps doing this bizarre crouching bodybuilder pose that's driving me nuts. I was having fun dual weilding the daggers that I made, and I was wondering if Ferox only do that weird pose with daggers (I read somewhere on this forum that daggers suck, btw :) ). The obvious Fremen link with the Ferox is pretty cool, and a dagger weilding guy in heavy armour with the mask would be very Arrakis. I tried turning off 'racial animations', but it made no difference.

And I still don't get it :)

most things answered already, the tedious micro management of removing 5 peices of armor is moot point anyways you'd be silly to go digging with your bag half full of heavy armor :)

the pointless arbitrary sides are actually part of a deep and engrossing storyline thats been running this last year and half, maybe take a look at the lore or visit your local temple when you reach the mainland.

pfft rushykin needs to see the point....the learning curve puts off alot of peeps....randomly running around fun while it maybe for the begining the game sure doesnt help much.....

I'm guessing you mean Fyros when you say Ferox but either way... Every weapon combination has a specific idle animation (as well as attack animations) and they don't vary by race - sorry to say that you're stuck with it if you take daggers :o

What color, though? There's a difference between 3* green and 3* blue. :) Right click on the force rating (where it shows the stars) and look at the Help for it.

Yeah Fyros - that's it :)

Ah, blue backgrounds! I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Actually I think there might be a bit of a lag problem too. With daggers there's no first attack animation at all, and I sometimes die with more than half my hp still showing.

If any of my posts lead you to believe that daggers suck, sorry. I just have a few issues I guess I just need to get over. Use them if you like. They are quite fun to watch in action. That's all I'll say about that.
