(0.10.24) Guy in a Table

Post by Hellmasker »

Not sure why that happened... but either the Table is new or that guy usually sat ontop of it... but in the Brotherhood Safehouses, that sitting dude is now in the table...

I know there are more important things to look at, but this annoyed me a bit...

No, that character of the Dark Brotherhood has always been hiding behind that table...

Check out for example

What can happen in classic, that uses a simpler rasterizing algorithm (probably painter's algorithm), is that under specific angles part of the character pop up in front of the table:

In DFU it seem the character position are the same, but that phenomenon doesn't happen with Z-buffer algorithm...

Well, it's kinda funny in a way... like a little mystery... what is he doing there? why is he hiding like that?

Or maybe just an accident/oversight back in the day :lol:

I mean, they could've moved that table a little bit to the side, but noooo... oh well :) But thanks for clarifying!
