PC Add Swing Speed For More Power

[edyonline]

When chopping down a tree, I like to swing the camera so it looks like Im actually chopping it down. It would be cool if I could get a minor damage boost for doing that..

Or for fist fighting, it would be nice if swinging the camera could add a bit more power to your strikes. Its hard to do and be accurate, so it wouldnt be a game breaking mechanic.

If at the very least, Id like a bit of a power boost to the superman punch. I like to jump up and then in mid air, come down with a power punch to the skull. It wastes so much stamina, and is very hard to land, but its a really cool opener.

Thoughts?

I really like how Mount and Blade adds inertia into melee damage calculations. It would be cool if 7D2D did as well. It would make kinds of ambush attack far more effective if the players momentum was taken into account as well.

Yeah. Warband is the gold standard for weapon feel.

I've thought it might be cool to convert the power hit into an "oomph" button, where you have to time the hit, you spend a ♥♥♥♥ton of stamina for as long as you hold the button and you get max power after like a quarter second. So if you start too early or release too late you bleed out stamina for nothing, start too late or release too early you don't get much power.
