As an example of a bad design where keys and items aren't separated, take Ultima 7. Finding the right key in your backpack was a chore, until they corrected that in the Silver Seed.<br /><br />Too bad the author of this game won't stop by to explain the reasoning behind some of the design decisions, like this key thing. I wonder if it was a conscious decision to make it so, or if it was just something that turned out the way it is.Didiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-32873174256829061632022-01-30T12:49:34.019-05:002022-01-30T12:49:34.019-05:00If that thing with the keys had happened to me I&#...If that thing with the keys had happened to me I'd be FURIOUS!
