Will Pantheon have Vertical zones? Such as a zone built ontop of a mountain would be really cool all the different layers and elements coming into effect based on elevation the player is at. Climbing skill is a must along with warm clothing.
Blizzards Snow and Rain could change how the player reacts and paths taken to reach the peak.
A zone going deeper and deeper down into the planets core would be interesting.A dark zone where a torch becomes your best friend. Periods of magma and intense heat create a challenge for even the most seasoned adventurers.
Most games zones are basic flat zones i am not against having some such as deserts but theirs alot of awesome ideas that Vertical zones create that just would not be possible otherwise.
Underwater zones would be interesting and open tons of new ideas like a future Treasure Hunting profession. Huge weather events could reshape the zones like Hurricanes - Tidal Waves and Earthquakes.
Im sure Vertical zones are much tougher to develop but could create some great vistas and very interesting gameplay options probably would be a challenge to design but really amazing to play.
What are you guys thoughts on Vertical zones?
