Ragdoll in Forgelight?

I always felt the tower battles in PS1 could have benefited from ragdoll, when your faction is pushing to get up several levels of stairs. It would be amazing to see enemy bodies rolling down the steps toward you as you charged up at the opposition, firing wildly and throwing grenades, as the explosions tossed enemies against the ceiling and walls.

They could also use ragdoll in some other interesting ways, such as having a shotgun blast knock someone over the railing on the top deck of a tower, or having a Galaxy go down in a fiery blast that sent the passengers flying in different directions.

Do you guys expect to see ragdoll, and if so, how would this add to the feel of PS2?

I think that was suggestion enough. Every new AAA game has ragdoll animations nowadays and I don't see a reason why a state-of-the-art MMO engine (one that Forge Light will most likely be) wouldn't have them.

While I do like Nvidia's products I do have some concerns with PhysX. Does PS2 plan on doing accelerated GPU PhysX or the PhysX meant for doing physics strictly on the CPU? A lot of players are still confused as to which is being used.
