Make entering/leaving towns more player friendly

#1 Post by Zonk »

Maybe I'm just too lazy but...

I think it would be nice if we could leave a town from any spot - as long as there aren't hostiles on the level of course instead of having to find the 'stairs' out.

I'd also like if entering a town put you in the middle of it instead of the border(so less walking to get to the shops :) ). One problem is that then we'd need at least an exception for a certain quest...

I wanted to write that this isn't necessary, but then I remembered the layout of Shaloren main city and now I support this idea.

<joke>Also, while we're at it, I want "skip level" button in Maze.</joke>

+1 on the original idea (actually I believe the idea was to just have > or < exit the town anywhere in town, excepting one which has some "action" in it at a stage in the game.

And on the maze... Yeah, it could be just 3 levels. IMHO.

What's the point of having the Maze dungeon if it's only a couple of levels long? Skip it if you don't like it.

An interesting way to do the maze would be to make it about the same size as Elven Ruins 3 and make it only one level with the stairs in the center and the minotaur there.
