Slipping, sliding and... falling

[Hotzn]

It seems we are still able to climb down steep rocks and cliffs by crouching and just moving down (as long as there is no 90° drop or overhang). Wouldn't it be exciting if we could slip and/or slide and fall? Especially if we wear sneakers.

I've often thought this myself.  My worry is that adding friction physics might require using a different game engine entirely.  (I wish I knew more about Unity.)  If that's the case, I think I'd rather stay the course with the current development plan.

Nope, it is definitely possible to add friction physics in Unity and shouldn't be that difficult at all. I really like this idea.

That's comforting to know.  I got curious and Googled around.  Looks like it works with Nvidia Physx?  I defer to the superior knowledge of those who actually know what they're talking about.

But I really like to use the shortcut from the summit of timberwolf mountain down to the montaineers house, just over the cliff  saves so much time. Also I can easily escape the old bear in challange mode, when just useing the cliffs as a shortcut. 

But seriously its really worth thinking about changing that.

sure... i'd love to randomly slip on the ice and break my neck 300 days in... that would make my day... xD

despite my sarcasm, i do like the idea
