Re: Has this been discussed?

In Response To: Has this been discussed? (scarab) : I wouldn't even have bothered if I could just fly up and see the island from : any viewpoint. : Has this been discussed much by the tricking/exploring community? : I think that it really could END exploring. Personally I'd hugely welcome a free-roaming camera so I could see levels freely. I know tricks can get you to quite a few places, but it's still very limited, plus you need to be able to do the relevant trickery of course, which could be a real problem (e.g. I still haven't been able to get up that darned hill in the first survivor area of level 2, to take in the views). I expect people would be a lot less interested in getting places by trickery if there was a free camera available. But when you compare that loss of recreational fun (and sense of achievement) against the gain that would be experienced by the vast majority of more casual players (and by tricksters themselves), it seems a complete mismatch to me. A free-roaming camera would be great plus, overall. As for going up on top of SC incidentally, yes you soon get used to the view, but there's always a lot of fun you can have with the enemy down below - that's the main benefit. : On a personal note, have you ever felt a slight feeling of anti-climax or : dissapointment when you finally achieve your goals? More a case of loss perhaps, at no longer having that elusive goal to work for. It's your whole focus for a while, but then it's done and you feel a bit aimless and a bit down. I get that sometimes when I finally post about some bit of fun I've been working on for ages. But luckily this is H1 I'm talking about, so there's always another bit of fun around the corner. Isn't there?
