Ethereal Units?

Post by PaladinHeart »

I've been going through my dusty old notebooks, and I just found a question that should have been, but never was, asked.

Does anyone know how to get ghostly colored units in FOT? I remember those brahmin sneaking around that one special encounter (were they sneaking or actually ghostly colored?).

Well anyway can you get that ethereal look for super mutants? That'd be great for anyone that wanted nightkin in the game.

Hopes. Dreams. You have to live these things. If not, they will remain prisoner within the confines of your mind for the rest of your life.

They were special sprites (more time wasted on random and special encounters grrr). Probably the only way you can see someone sneaking is if they are friendly to you or on the same team.

Crud. That sucks. Ah well, it's not like the Nightkin have to be ethereal. There wasn't really much distinction between them and normal super mutants in the regular game anyway, aside from them being a little bit tougher (at least I think they were?).

No, but it'd still be nice to be able to get the StealthBoy working; which is something the designers were probably looking at doing since (if memory serves) there was a sprite included for it.

Of course, the odds of us getting a workablel solution are pathetically slim...
