One armed martial arts

[flyingcircus]

So i started the game with the rock bottom setting, leaving you naked and with one arm. Managed to escape being a slave(which is freaking cool) then decided to be a one armed martial artist, only to be disapointed when i found out i cannot attack unarmed with ... one arm.. the character will sit there and dodge but wont throw a punch. Is this something that might be fixed, or is it meant to be like this?

I dont know the exact nature of the answer but I have observed that until MA gets into double digits the figure dodges more and attacks less and as you know gets better attacks as MA SKILL increases...

This sounds like the perfect excuse to chop off one of my martial artists arms..For science.

How will i increase MA if they simply just dont attack? Sat there for about 10 minutes watching my character slowly follow a starving vagrant that was crawling on the floor trying to get away and not once did I throw a punch. If you do happpen to have one of your martial artists lose an arm please inform me of the results.

I tried it out with a test guy who had maxed MA and he didn't attack once, Seems like with one arm they just don't attack.

Does it matter which arm they lose?

Generally the right arm seems much more important than the left in-game.

There are some attacks that specifically involve both arms in the MA system so no doubt those would no longer function.

damn. no MA till i got a robo limb i guess

A lot of martial artist moves actually use left hand or both hands. Might be the reason.

I'm a huge fan of unarmed playthroughs. Although this mod won't let you attack with one arm, this is a lore friendly mod that will allow you to continue playing your current campaign.

You'll be able to get robotic arms that help with martial arts.

Probably a limitation of what the dev can do. Because you can fight with just your legs and no arms needed. :D

Remove his other arm.

With no arms they'll kick and head butt.

@BigRowdy You are a beam of hope, man.
Thank you for the response, it's very satisfying.
I'm damn serious. I know that my words might look stupid and it's just some little thing, but damn it feels nice to see some logical answers on something stupid like being unable to simply punch.

You can attack with one arm if you happen to have the left arm. If you have the right arm but not the left, your MA fighter can only kick. If you have both arms and attack people unprotected, your left arm will be the first to be damaged.
