Except that in a 3D environment, a death animation could send the deceased character flailing through a wall or floating off the edge of a cliff. That's exactly what happens in the original, but we're more forgiving of that because it was standard for the time. Ragdoll is great because it increases the believable interaction between (floppy) characters and the environment; it's popular for a reason.
It really looks soulless, when bodies just fall over like dummies with no movement at all. This is why i don't like ragdoll physics. To me animations in general are a very vital characteristic of the original Abes Oddysee, and i don't want that messed up in the remake.
