Bleak Inlet Cannery Workshop Platforming

[dahemac]

The platforming needed to get to the entrance of the Cannery Workshop may, or may not, be interesting once. However it is tedious and absurd subsequently. This is especially true since there are two ladders in the workshop, a folding tall step ladder and a tall straight ladder. The previous, presumably dead, dude who put up the platforms must have been pretty far gone. The system he put up is nuts. More so since he could easily have tied the beginning climbing rope at the last bit where the gap in the dock prevents crossing, eliminating most of the round-about nonsense. It would be sensible, once a player has entered the workshop to allow them to rig the step ladder and or the straight ladder so that they can bypass the platforming. This is what a person would certainly do.

Please, for the love of sanity, let me move the step ladder that is in the Cannery Workshop, or the climbing rope that is uselessly on the other side of the yard, to here. I even have a spare climbing rope. I would gladly rig it right here.

To be fair, they intentionally made it long so it was more of a pain to use. They really did not want gunsmithing to be an easy access feature, you have to work for it. But I do agree, there should be a way to skip part of the climb at some point.

It was fine the first time. It had an element of exploration and of the unexpected. I was generally quite nervous finding the path, more so because even though I had just driven them off, the Cannery timberwolves went mad when I was above them and would have torn me to ribbons had I fallen. However now that I am established at Bleak Inlet I traverse that circuitous path multiple times a day. No one would keep doing that, particularly the jump down onto the boat, if they could just move the climbing point or lean one of the ladders somewhere. I find going all the way around, every time, the worst part of that region. The game should just allow a shortcut once you gain access to the Workshop. Going all the way around over, and over, and over and over… adds nothing to the game.
