Offtopic: One day I'd like to see a game that simulates/emulates the multiple layers that go to make up a human character. So you'd start with the skeleton, layer muscles on top of it, then fat layers, then skin. On top of that would come a couple of layers of cloth, then leather, mail, and plate armour. My desire to see this has kind of sprung from mods for games like Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4. Seeing the creativity of modders who make these amazing outfits, armours, and weapons, and wondering how they'd look if they were a single layer on top of other clothing. This, combined with the amazing hitbox work that goes into some games, could be very cool to see. Imagine a character getting hit by an arrow: it would have a vastly different effect whether it hits on a shield, against shoulder armour, or against a helmet. Now imagine if the character had their arms raised for an overhead strike with a sword, and the arrow hit their side or under their arm?

This is exactly how dwarf fortress works. It's not a flawless system though and it tends to make combat realistically brutal. You can even modify the raws to a pretty large extent and create your own creatures and beings made out of and up of pretty much anything. https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Modding#Modding_creatures https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Modding#Moddi...

I’ve had this thought. You know what I worry, though— even if I did have a vividly realized simulation of a human body accurate enough to engage in realistic medieval melee combat, wouldn’t I just have her sit at home and write esoteric computer programs? That’s what I do with this one.
