What is Gorefield?
Gorefield gives you a set of gameplay options that allow you to turn on special gory death effects for NPCs. With Gorefield enabled, you will see NPCs die in a number of horrifying, gruesome, and hilarious ways. The effects are tied to the manner in which the enemies are killed, and as such aids to give a greater sense of danger to the weapons and powers being used. It's also just flat out FUN!
Gorefield currently supports the following primary death effects:
-
[]Burning Death: the enemy is engulfed in flames and burns to a charred skeleton or pile of ashes. Caused by lasers and fire.
[
]Melting Death: the enemy's flesh is melted by acid or radioactive toxins, leaving behind a bloody skeleton or even just bloody torso and a pile of organs. Caused by poison and radiation.[]Disintegration: the enemy is destroy in a blinding flash of light, leaving behind a number of different types of remains. Caused by particle weapons.
[]Blood Fountain: the enemy's body is devoured by annihilator nanites, causing a fountain of blood and leaving behind bloody remains or even just a pile of bloody goo. Caused by Annihilator rounds.
[]Exploding Death: the enemy's body explodes, sending pieces of them everywhere. Caused by explosive weapons and Gutbuster rounds.
[]Frozen Shatter: the enemy's body is frozen and then shattered, sending frozen pieces everywhere. Caused by cryo weapons.
- ?Mystery Death?: hmmm.. I wonder what it is. Caused by weapons which distort the fabric reality...
In addition to the above effects there is also something called "Overkill Mode". Overkill Mode will trigger the "Explosion Death" on any enemy who is damage far enough beyond the point of death. Overkill Mode can be enabled/disabled in gameplay options, and the threshold which triggers the overkill can be adjusted also.
