My dream is to have game which use turnbased toribashi like combat system. Partialy scripted character behaviour like on endorphine engine. Character stands moves and reacts on enviroment by itself. The moves would be controled by players relaying on postprocedural generated animations to blend in with the endorphine scripted characters motorics.  ...drool.

Sovereign, the vanguard of a huge army of sentient dreadnoughts, latches onto the Citadel, both the hub of galactic civilization and a huge jump conduit.  A huge battle of all the races combined ensues as they try to prevent Sovereign from activating the jump and calling his friends.  Along the way your decisions determine whether or not the ship containing the galactic council survives, and eventually fight some crazy zombie alien.

There wasn't much of a cliff-hanger though.

I see, I think I just heard about that recently.  You get a choice to save the council or go after the ship, but if you choose to save the council it doesn't have any effect on your ability to take out the ship.

Heh, now I'm trying to make a combat mechanic that is good for fighting WITHOUT player participation. It's for a game about adventurer's guild, where you train, equip and send characters to missions, but they fight by themselves.

That'd be cool, but it's hard to walk 20 meters in Toribash, much less through an entire world.

That goes back to the "No one wants an anticlimactic final battle"  Sure it'd be 'deeper' or something if you could lose, but not only would that give you a downer ending, it would also ruin the sequels.  Since it's a series, they probably don't want people destroying the galaxy in the first game.

I know, cause toribashi are ragdolls and im talking about endorphine engine/euforia (dont really know the difference) which is combination of artifical inteligence, biomechanics and physics. More to this this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoES90f-0pk.
The basic motions (stance, movement...) and selfpreservation reactions would by handeled by the engine the fighting moves would by controled by player.

What are you talking about?  I didn't say anything about the game ending if you lose. How is having a more challenging final battle because you took extra time to save to council anticlimactic?   Wait, you can't lose the final battle?  What do you just respawn over and over like Bioshock or something?

If you're going to be all smug about something at least make sure you don't prove yourself wrong in the same post.  I just forgot to put a / in the closing [spoiler]  Of course it still started with [spoiler=Mass Effect Ending] so anyone with half a brain would have stopped reading then if they didn't want anything spoiled.

It no big spoiler though.  Mass Effect ends like every other Bioware game ever.  You get into an Epic battle with, and kill, the BBEG, and then everyone loves you.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be smug.
