Any chance we can get a fireman carry instead of just body dragging?
TL;DRThey have discussed a fireman carry for long-distance moves and for hiding bodies in stealth, as a complement to the short-range body drag, and say they definitely want to do it in the future.
Yeah, so we have talked about this actually, because obviously we do have the body drag for moving people around, but that's more what we envisioned as a short-range and quick action of, say, you're in a firefight, one of your buddies has gone down and you want to get them to cover. You can very quickly run out, grab them, pull them away while being able to fire off with your pistol a little bit. But the fireman carry is probably going to be something that's going to be better for long range. So if my ship's a kilometer away and I've gone out with you, Jared, and we're having a good time, and then you accidentally fall off a cliff or something, and I don't have the healing equipment with me and it's back on the ship, I'm not going to want to drag you across a rocky surface, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, all the way back to the ship. That might actually finish you off. I want a bit more of a robust carry for longer distances. And we've talked about this for stealth as well. Obviously stealth is a big part of the combat loop that we've got, especially against AI. Again, body drag is really good for just dragging a body around behind a dumpster or wherever and hiding it. But if we eventually want to do things like hiding a body in things, we're going to need some way to get them up on us and put them in. Or put them over a railing or something like that. So we've talked about this as an option and it's something that we definitely want to do in the future.
