What about those claims of pilots in the bi-tri wing era surviving falls by landing in hay stacks?

Someone needs to politely inform Bethesda that “stones” are in fact an established, non-amorphous measurement of weight. Oops.

Loved this. Another intereting aspect of the Assassin’s Creed leap of faith is that even if the hay could stop you in that sapce of time, surely the deacceleration would kill you. How fast can you stop a falling human before they are injured?

Heh.. Ragnarok Online’s ammo and arrow has weight. It’s not much (0.1, I think), but enough to be a real pain, considering you stop regenerating HP and SP (their version of MP) when your carry over 50% capacity. That means you start having to lug more potions around, which increases your weight even more than before.
