One thing I think would really help people get around the temple is if the entrances and exits were more obvious.

It would be neat if the staircases were in the room objects. (You also see a staircase which leads upward.)

Some of them are, some of them aren't. Some stairs don't tell you in the room description whether they go up or down (you have to look at them). They are alternately called "staircase" "stairway" "stairs" etc.

I guess it would just be nice if things were a little more consistent. Also, it would be cool if you could tell where the stairs lead by looking at them, though that may be asking a bit much I suppose. Right now some of them say things like "The curved staircase vanishes from vision as it gently slopes down to the lower section of the temple."

If this could say "The curved staircase vanishes from vision as it gently slopes down toward The Eyes of the Thirteen" that might help people figure out where they are and where the stairs go.

You grip the oversized book hanging from your leather belt and survey the area with a hint of malice in your eyes.

With a violent cross-body motion, you draw your oversized book.

There's a technical limitation there, given that the stairs are all plain-jane. If they used the same consistent noun, then in the places where you have two (one upwards and one downwards) you'd never be able to tell which one you were referencing.

Of course, this is all pretty easily fixed anyways just by adding adjectives.

Playing devil's advocate (wish I got a retainer), how would you know where they went? Assuming you'd been there enough for your character to know where they went, wouldn't you the player remember?

Stairs sloping down, sure.
Stairs sloping down to x ... eh.

Street signs?

nope, shard has a place thats like that, and you climb stair UP or climb stair DOWN.





It's a number, it gets bigger. That's the whole DR experience right there
