Make it so giant frogs can eat you whole.

Also add a shocker spitter boomer smoker hulk master necromancer bio-operator, and have it wield a GAU-8 avenger. it would be a good challenge.

[quote=“BeigeSand, post:243, topic:3101”][quote=“trusty\_patches, post:239, topic:3101”]Let’s estimate that it’s, uh, infra-red.  
I believe if it’s a pulse and not a stream, then a good-polished aluminum bat at nice speed would easily deflect it somewhere. The problem lies in the shape of the bat which will just dissipate the beam instead of reflecting it. Maybe we should also flatten one side of it? Like, cricket bat, but made from aluminum. I wonder if they make aluminum cricket bats.[/quote]

Make? Yes.

Whether or not anyone actually uses them is beyond my realm of google-fu.[/quote]

A little late to the party, but found an answer. They do not make cricket bats out of aluminum after a mandate was passed by the highest authority on making all cricket bats wooden around 1980. Reasons why are [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComBat).

Dolphins.

You can find dolphins swimming in rivers, and attacking them turns you into a piece of bacon which instantly kills you.

The only way to master the way of the dolphin is to dance by the river whilst dancing on the corpse of 420 zombie hulks. If you do so, you will create the ultimate dolphin hulk.

With the dolphin hulk you can travel to dolphin land, where you can breed your very own dolphins in your own paradise! But watch out for zombie dolphins.

If you manage to successfully combine 1337 dolphin hulks, you create the narwhal and win the game instantly. Every zombie dies instantly. The world becomes amazing again and ascends into euphoria.

I may be high while typing this

CHAMPION OF ALL HORRIBLE IDEAS.

…  
…  
…zombie whales. Fast and big enough to attack unsuspected survivors close of deep water. Dangerous enough while above water through moving its body around. And when you think it’s over, you realize that the whale didn’t eaten but SWALLOWED people, and they died, soooo guess what’s back, clawing from the whale insides?

Also, how do you butcher a zombie whale?

Zombie Wales, even more dangerous. Don’t butcher those either, it probably breaks something fundamental.

If you pry a door it fights back, kicks the mat from under you and pins you down with its weight.

Psychic powers, because being a electronically and genetically enhanced super-being is no fun if you are not levitating and blowing things up just by looking at them.

Yeah, I agree with the ew. I pretty much looked at the title of the thread, looked at some of the responses, and thought, “What’s the absolute worst idea I can come up with that would do to this thread and Cataclysm DDA what Al Lowe did to adventure games?” and came up with that. Leisure Suit Larry had worse than that, if I recall correctly (Something about taking an aphrodisiac and a poodle, ick). The rest was just me throwing out the first thing on my mind. I mean, the thread is all about making bad suggestions, right?

Necro would be a bad idea because…well, yeah.

Hygroscopic would be a pretty debilitating condition to have if bodies of water start playing a bigger role in the game, because it’s a potential instant-death. You basically become a walking sponge with a body that can’t take being a walking sponge. Even a rainstorm could be deadly. Might be fun to have in the game, though. That thought started out from the bionic that sucks up water from corpses and the thought of how that would work as a mutation.

Coolness as a stat is basically a replacement for the superpowered ranged weapons we had in the game before dispersion was made to matter, Hollywood action movies, and fond memories of “Fist of the North Star.” That would be no good.

Cow farm would be nice to have in the game, if only for some fresh milk. The bad part comes in where I was thinking of the player getting killed with milk shot at supersonic speeds as if milk were bullets.

As for the Giant Rock Buddy, I have no idea where that came from.[/quote]  
i know this is an old qoute, but what did al lowe do to adventure games?

Floating platforms to help you jump up to some crates of treasure in the sky.  
Pacman zombies that start on an unclimbable pole and teleport back where they’ve started when you kill them.  
Crates that are unopenable except from underneath. You can only open them if you don’t have a glass jaw.  
Sokoban houses and frictionless ice.

A set of lingerie with the “fancy” tag. Because I need a failsafe in case my stylish outerwear explodes while I’m fighting zombies.
