pfff... ladders are no longer required, four words: Power Armor Jet Packs

Re-watching the videos all the different elevations I've seen have stair cases. The only thing I've seen that appears like a ladder was the rungs to help you get in the vertibird, and my guess is that you don't actually use them to get in.

Never understood why Bethesda has such an aversion to ladders. Daggerfall, as Pseron Wyrd said, was the only Bethesda game to ever have a climbing mechanic. Even then it wasn't even fully implemented in Daggerfall.

The T51b jetpack seems like a good opportunity to have some Morrowind type dungeon designs (levitating) though.

I was only talking about TES/Fallout by bethesda. Not at all comparing them with the older Interplay games. That would be a bizarrely ridiculous comparison as isometric games you aren't actually moving up and down levels.. you are simply scrolling across the same linear plane as before, just using ladder climbing animations.

It's the name. Bethesda has never released a game titled 'Fallout'.

(Unless you count the re-release on Steam, of the original.)

They've never released a game called TES either but you get the gist of that don't you?
