[dev1008] About Jumping

[Waaltar]

Well, I'm kind of on the fence. I barely played the past two months and have recently come back to check out the progress so far...

Jumping is so not going to make a difference for me.

Jumping would be a minor convenience for the people who have never left. If they haven't left or cut way back by now...they are probably in it for the long haul anyway.

I just don't see how you could add jumping and have it be anything more than a lot of work for something that's not a big deal at all. Or have it be an impossible amount of work to the point of basically re-doing the game.

I've thought, maybe it would be kind of awesome if there was more of an action, almost platformer type enviornment...more swimming and climbing...tomb raider like levels/areas/tombs??

Or...more of a Morrowind type set up would be neat, with a first person option, high jumping for those with a high acrobatic skill, and huge falls and swimming and swimming underwater and such...featherfall potions, levitate spells, boots that let you walk across the air for a half minute or two...

edit: yeah and combat stuff like the guy above just mentioned

But come on, are they really going to __completely__ re-do the game engine at this point? I mean, I know they are working on doing some kind of a big significant change but...really, could they do THAT much?
