As you fall, you land on your neck!

I've found some neat 'rinthi places by accidentally fleeing up where there's no visible up exit. But it's pretty dumb, I agree it shouldn't happen.

It's the dumbest kind of death ever. I'd rather hear the words "rough circle" spoken from the shadows with no punctuation or capitalization, then get backstabbed by the extremely short and thick figure in a dark, hooded cloak, than die this way AGAIN.

I'm asking for evidence, not telling you all to fuck off.

No, I'm telling you to fuck off, now, because you're being a little bitch.

i want to end all of your flee debates by saying this:

i had a pc whose life was literally saved

by fleeing

up

into a climb room.

so how about -no-.

How about yes?

Just because a piece of code saves your PC, but is otherwise unrealistic or stupid, doesn't mean it shouldn't be changed. We call that a 'well meaning bug'.

fleeing "up" is not a bug, it just means your pc opted to jump up a cliff instead of die.

I can't imagine a scenario where you are fleeing an opponent 'up' a cliff or whatever (Call it a wall), and they don't y'know...Kill you. For turning your back and putting yourself in an incredibly vulnerable position. I mean, we aren't talking about our PCs being orcs from the Moria scene of LoTR Fellowship of the Ring where they crawl upside down out of the asshole looking opening thing in the roof.

i mean, maybe your parry threw them off balance just enough for you to jump up the cliff and save yourself? it works. it isn't a bug. this game isn't super realism simulator. there are things that our pcs can do that normal humans cannot do, despite the fact that our pcs are arguably weaker than most real life humans.

It isn't a super realism simulator, but it does try to closely mirror RL when it comes to things like physics, and common sense.
