I was looking at the Hellmouth concept art and an idea occured to me. What if gravity affected gameplay? This could be a very interesting mechanic, especially on the Moon and Europa. The Moon has about 17% as much gravitational pull as the Earth, and Europa has only about 13.4% as much gravitational pull as Earth. Who needs jetpacks?

Pretty cool. Huh?

I hope not it would just make things unnersasarily more difficult...im all for it but 700 years from now we better have some artifical gravity boots or some crap..

I've got hops like Neil Armstrong.

As long as they don't make it too over the top, then ok! :D
-
It would definitely make for some interesting dynamic gameplay.

I could easily imagine that. A Game Designer's Job is to create an experience, and I imagine that part of the experience of exploring different planets is experiencing differeing amounts of gravity. Seems like a safe bet to make.

I think it would be a pretty cool mechanic if every planet (or maybe just some of them) had varying gravity levels to them. I personally haven't seen it done, but then again I haven't really played all that many sci-fi games.
