I actually think the in-game rendering looks better, because you can't see all the shaders in action when we render in Max.

It'll definitely eliminate the need to reload the game whenever you find yourself in an awkward situation with a sentient enemy. Reloading always destroys immersion.MSFD said:And finally, combat need not be lethal. Any combatant - including the player -- can yield to their opponent. It's up to the opponent to accept the yield or not, but if they do accept, combat ends. It's a way to get out of those sticky situations where you find yourself in over your head. Just don't try it with a creature or with anyone who really, really hates you! And if an NPC yields to you, you make the call - walk away, or keep fighting.

LOL, That's ok. I've even seen actual developers use it in response to posters.
I shall inflict Volournia on everyone!
