As long as the runaway distance isnt something you might accidentally cross in combat, Im all for that system. --- http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h239/nhottbarbwire/owningroad_zps2333f502.gif <cite>lww99 posted [p:914057455] in Forcing pl...

eston 12/13/18 12:05:45 PM #9:	This is one area where I felt Skyrim was completely brilliant. Like 95% of the dungeons in that game looped around so when you got to the end you would either drop off a ledge, or go through a secret passage, or some other action that would put you right back at the entrance. It almost became a game in itself trying to guess where you'd be coming out of later. --- http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/estonc/grizzly_bear_chairs_2.jpg https://imgur.com/8kjZU <cite>eston posted [p:914057511] in Forcing pl...

butthole666 12/13/18 12:07:23 PM #11:	Yep. Every minute the player spends doing busywork is a minute wasted. This was one of the few objective improvements in Skyrim over Oblivion; most of the sprawling caverns and dungeons youd come across would loop you nack to the entrance via a secret passage or unseen ledge, or have a light at the end of the tunnel to exit put the other side. --- "Kenan & Kel is what made me realize I wasn't racist." ~ NewportBox100s <cite>butthole666 posted [p:914057588] in Forcing pl...
