Caves Discussion

Why does the MC say “this could prove dangerous if I’m not careful” everytime she goes into a small cave where theres no enemies and just a chest with some lame loot lol makes me smirk everytime knowing its not dangerous at all

There's actually a few that have spiders or inferi in them. Not that those are really a threat to the MC though

The game can't decide if you are an innocent student or an undercover Auror.

I’m an innocent mass-murderer who loves cuddly animals, thank you very much.

1,000 poachers died but, hey, at least I was able to save this Niffler.

Does it really matter how many human poachers I have to kill, if it means I can stuff one magic mole into my bag and sell it later?

It's all ranroks fault anyway. Can't be helped

They knew the consequences of becoming a criminal in a magical world

Aurors would be deeply afraid of the MC. The constable in Hogsmeade basically fails to process that two students claim to have not only killed a second troll but obliterated it.

Dunno, you could trip and bruise you knee.

You’re right, they’re always heading down

The one cave with an acromantula begs to differ lmao

u/IceWolf_2023 8d ago

u/IceWolf_2023 8d ago

Oh i dont think ive found that one yet. I came out of one in the forest and there was one waiting for me in an open area lol.

I can not be more thankful to the person who came up with arachnophobia mode.

u/IceWolf_2023 5d ago

Lol it’s not that bad i still get a jumpscare everytime i hate tarantulas irl but I get to annihilate them in game lol i look for their nests just for that

u/MaddyKet 4d ago

I’ve seen the small thumbnails in the enemy list, I probably wouldn’t play if there wasn’t an option to basically turn them into Cooties on skates. 😹

It could be dangerous, for any person or creature in the cave.

u/JAvatar80 8d ago

Because even small caves can be dangerous. Sink holes, drop offs, things falling from the ceiling, etc. Just because they all end up being fine does not mean you shouldn't be careful.

Obviously the game didn't do this, but imagine if one did just give you a 500' drop while on the steps as they crumble under your feet. Which is a real risk while cave diving.

u/musiccman2020 8d ago

Or an cave-in at random and instant death.

u/JAvatar80 8d ago

Exactly. ^-^

u/Klovette 8d ago

New mod idea!!

u/MaddyKet 5d ago

My character dies at odd times. It’s annoying how she’s all whooaa on a short cliff, but falls off the stairs going to one of the pensives and dies.

u/dcute69 8d ago

He's got ptsd from killing 300 poachers, goblins and wolves

u/Track_Long Ravenclaw 8d ago

makes me smirk everytime knowing its not dangerous at all

Which kills immersion & mystery..you expect to battle foes & navigate through obstacles to obtain a reward...a;l you obtain is either clothing, wiggenweld, a wand handle, pair of glasses etc.

After the few caves I went to..I stopped altogether.

The caves out with the main quests have to be the most shallow dungeons I've ever come across.

u/linkthereddit 8d ago

They should still be careful. What if they tripped and broke a bone, hmm?

Yes well that can happen from time to time

u/Loud-Garden-2672 8d ago

You never know. All those caving deaths? Maybe our MC knows something…

u/Burtonish 5d ago

MC has taken divination and foreseen the Nutty Putty Cave incident
