Will there ever be an option for crouching like with most RPG\'s  ? :)

There might be. But, it might not really be needed. We could have a \"sneak\" walk mode, instead, for sneaking around. The only think crouch is good for is going under some places, but that probably wouldn\'t be needed. Sneaking around, though, could come in handy, and if crouch was added that would probably be the only thing it would be used for.

Well, what about crouching in say a tree? If you planning on hunting, or catching an animal to train...

Crouching definitely needs to be put in the game. As a rogue I plan on spending most of my time either sneaking or hiding, and the smaller you are the easier it is to hide. Crouching helps towards that, and also it can be used for extra intimidation factor. Someone standing up in a tree isn\'t nearly as imposing as a person crouched down on top of a tower, crouching down, and scanning the terrain...if you know what I mean...

Maybe, although in truth I doubt becoming a bit smaller would really help at all (it might help in real life because of how the eyes focus and the brain works; when you\'re looking at one thing, you\'re brain doesn\'t recognize everything else as clearly, even if it\'s in your field of vision... a computer screen doesn\'t work in the same way). But, eh, I suppose it doesn\'t matter either way.

True, but integrating crouching even though its perhaps not really useful really adds up to the game! :) You can make hidden tiny tunnels and such, and a crouching person in a dark corner is less in sight than a standing person
