Hello dear developers...
This post does not concern me personally. However, I thought it appropriate to share something with you that we moderators have just found out about. I cannot say for sure whether this has happened before and to what extent it requires action. I simply want to keep my word and take our players' problems seriously.
Also, @quiet vault told me that this wasn't the first time this problem with the caves had come up.
A member of our community apparently suffered a panic attack while working on the quest in Oxbow, which takes place in the cave system under the castellan's house. It was a case of claustrophobia, and this was the first time I had ever encountered this possibility in a game.
Therefore, I am asking the general question of whether it is possible to take certain precautions for such a case and to what extent you as developers consider this feasible or necessary.
We came up with the idea of a similar function to the “Free me” option in the game menu. This is actually there to unblock you if you get stuck somewhere. It only changes your position slightly, so it's useless in such cases. Maybe you have some good ideas on this topic. As I said, we were thinking of a kind of additional button that could free the player from caves and other oppressive images and place them at a neutral point.
For example, people in normal caves are simply placed in front of the entrance. Or, as in the case of quests, they are brought back to the castellan's house.
It's not supposed to look like the nice and cozy room of a normal older gentleman – it's supposed to have the dark charm of a hidden prison, because his son is trying to protect him there in secret. Therefore, regardless of the problems that individuals might have down there, I think it's pretty disadvantageous to the general public, who are definitely enjoying this special and mysterious aspect.
