Ragdoll Physics (Can I have it?)

[Valmonte]

We do? How do you know? Unless you mean that basic, buggy clothes physics. I mean, come on. Not even collision detection built in?

2.0 will allow to adjust your performance in finer steps than the current, so that shouldn't be the problem. PhysX is restricted to nVidia cards anyway, so if SE adds a physics system, it will be most likely CPU-based.

if you get hit from behind you are knocked fowards, if you are hit from the front you are knocked backwards. if you block or parry, weapons are knocked back. is it true physics no but at least we still have hit detection this way you could add multiple dying animations to one mob based on the hit direction.

That's just animations though, meaning they are not scaled with attack strength. For example parrying Ifrit's hit and a rat's hit still leads to the same animation.
