Can the player still make their vessels ragdoll?!?! Like at any point in time the player just decides to make the most feared killer, Hank J. Wimbleton, collapse like a styrofoam cup getting knocked over in the wind and it becomes a running gag for them.
Or they use it like a punishment for any unwanted chaos their grunts cause, like: "Deimos! We needed that guy alive! That's it, no bones for you!"
Hmm, well you have access to all your other "controls" as the Player, so I don't see why not lmao. It's honestly one of the most effective ways to get control of them at a moment's notice; if they do something you find distasteful or are about to, you can just stop them immediately by making them fall to the ground. Like if you see one of them deciding to (stupidly) poke their head out from cover when a sniper is clearly aiming at them, you can just make them flop onto the floor before they get injured. I can also imagine you asking Doc to stop working and take a break for once, only to just immediately make him ragdoll if he tries to get back to it. Or when Hank gets a bit too threatening towards one of the others for something (probably having to do with you, because let's face it, he wouldn't care otherwise) and you're just like "Hank! No, we've talked about this" as you make him collapse onto the ground, completely boneless. (And growling as he hears Deimos and Sanford crack up from what's happening.)
They can't resist it either, going completely limp whenever you quite literally halt any control they have over their own body. It'd be kind of terrifying if it weren't for the fact that your warmth was enveloping them with the usual feelings of comfort and safety (and that they could hear you laughing as it happened, which was nice, even if it was at their expense).
And you want to know the funniest thing about the ragdoll mechanic? It controls all the grunts you have at your disposal simultaneously (at least in multiplayer). This means that you could probably make everyone you're out on a mission with go limp if you wanted to. It's annoying to those who aren't responsible for the "punishments" you're dissing out, but sometimes you do it just for fun. Though you do have to be careful with it sometimes, lest they end up getting hurt on the way down lol.
