Being able to cut limbs and heads off dead bodies from the grab menu was a pretty awesome feature, and its a shame that it appears to have been disabled. Can we please get it back? It was incredibly handy as an opportunistic assistant, and as a roboticist or geneticist.

I would like to see it return in some shape or form as well

it needs to not be doable on people who are alive at all. I think the problem was it was being used as an insta kill, that and even if it didnt kill the person it did alot of damage for very little time.

I'd like to see it return. It being limited to corpses is fine. If it's just corpses, I don't really see a reason why any old sharp object won't do. Santa prefers his meat cut for him. We must please Santa.

Yeah, I'm fine with it being limited to corpses. You can still do this anyway with any given table acting as a surgery bed for the unconscious or deceased. It's just a really nice convenience thing.

As a compromise, let the red chainsaw be able to do this on anyone living or dead. That'd be a heck of a way to differentiate it from a cyalume.

One thing I really liked about this was how c-sabers did it much faster than any other tool, but without causing significant damage because they cauterized the wounds!
I'd like to see that return in some shape or form so roboticists can go for limb replacement speed records.

Same it was cool but it was horribly OP. I would love to see it come back but how it comes back is the question

Hobo surgery is already possible, I don't see this ever happening.

I'm not sure how hobo surgery relates to this.
I was more reviving this because it strikes me as odd that you can chop off limbs with csabers and gas powered chainsaws, but you can't use solely those instruments to slice off limbs in surgery.
I don't think click drag limb removal should be possible with normal tools, but I definitely think such exceptional tools as the above should be capable of doing it.

i think there should be a timer meter for this and how long it takes depends on the weapon youre using
a glass shard/knife would longer to do but a chainsaw or something could do it more quickly
