Hi,

I had an idea regarding jumping and climbing. You were talking about how it would be good for ruins exploration and such, but wouldn't be good if it allowed the player to avoid enemies in unrealistic ways. My idea is that you could either 1. make it so that once a player jumps/climbs along a route, that route is permanently (or at least for the particular Adv. Mode character) marked so that enemies can travel along the same path the player did, or 2. make it so that the player must bring pitons and then spend time hammering them into the wall they wish to scale, then being forced to remove them or else leave them traversable by (most?) creatures.

Toady, you're living my dream. Enjoy it ^^

Nobody is EVER going to exploit that.  Ever.
;D
2. sounds kind of neat, but it also sounds "already going to be implemented" except with enemies picking places to put them in too...
