this basicly falls under the catagory of "eye candy." its not a nessecary part of gameplay, and would take considerable time out of nessecary gameplay to make. as such you probably wont see this very soon, if ever.

It would also require a totally seperate game engine, which would be utterly pointless.

Treesrule, this is a common suggestion, so pardon roguelazer (*glares*) for his reply.

The short answer is that the game engine is optimized for Vendetta's unique flight model. While the devs could easily make bipedal figues, they would still swoop around like fighters because the game engine is not set up to accomodate walking figures. While walking around would be cool, it's gonna take a rewrite or the gluing on of another game engine to make it happen. This won't be happening anytime soon, though I wouldn't rule it out for the distant future.
