I do hope there is climbable objects and ladders not just a loading screen, in FO3 and NV I always wanted to be able to climb up on low hanging roofs to loot the dead raiders that would be on roof tops. Also it would be good to be able to climb up out of reach of some creatures and it would also svck to find out that some can climb up after you.

But with that in mind I do hope they have not made another parkour game.

I would also like to have ladders and such in the game. The only Fallout in which we can actually climb ladders is Tactics. Would be nice to be able to prone and such as well.

Weren't ladders the boogie monster of Bethesda's engine or something? I remember seeing a post somewhere a long time ago saying that ladders were impossible on Gamebryo.

Todd Howard played MGS3, faced the Ladder boss, the most dreaded of all MGS bosses, and swore that never would there be a ladder in his games, ever.

Not being able to climb up low ledges and odd shaped rocks was frustrating in F3. Being able to climb things would make running around the wasteland much smoother and enjoyable. But not climbing wont make me too sad.

Im fine with no special animation to climb rocks and low ledges, i can just jump. It is nonsensical that i can not climb an obvious and visible ladder.

What about that ledge you cant jump up on but could grab with your hands and pull yourself up?

To be honest, we don't even have to "climb" if it's that hard (which I don't think it is). We could just have the ladder be an activator, and teleport us up/down.

Ladders and similar become an problem animating if you have characters of different height, same with animations interacting with objects.

Dont need them.
