Hey, I thought that maybe the player could get some animated arms. But I don't mean that you always see them, only when they come to their action. Animations for the arm(s) should be:

-pressing buttons/using keycards
-equipping/using items (gasmask/SCP-500/SCP-714)
-using navigator/radio/SCP-1025/documents
-taking items

Let ne know what you think!

It's an interesting idea that's been brought up before, but I like how minimal the conduit between the in-game representation of the character and I (the player) is. Introducing something as simple as a hand kind of ruins that whole connection imo.

I agree with Omniary, though this idea is still kinda intriguing to me. Maybe making as a mod can settle this.

Easy enough to add in. Model/animations would be required though. I am neither of those

Hopefully there will be something like it on that website you like to use for models.

If the arms get added to the game they shouldn't be seen all the time, only by pushing buttons or picking up items.

That's what I meant.

I'm doing a class d model. I can easily split the arms for first person use.

Great idea!

I'd rather have it as it is now.

It'd just be completely awkward that a hand just comes out of nowhere, hits a button, and magically vanishes.

I'd also rather have an animated body for D-9341 that picks up items, holds onto levers/switches, and presses buttons like Miles from Outlast.
