Hehe, sorry... to be honest, I noticed the mispell, but I didn\'t change it because I didn\'t want that ugly \"last edited blah yatta yatta\" tagged on the end of the post. (I didn\'t check the profile yet to see if there was a way to turn it off, just incase there is)

i like the spy glass idea better then the one with zoom

that zooming stuff reminds me too much of a shout\'em\'up :P

and the spyglass looks cool and it also adds that adventurer feeling - plus you could use it only when not moving, so you don\'t poke your eye with it :)

Fine if your some human then you can go buy a spy glass.
As for me I\'m an Elf and I can see far without the need of such devices.

Has even a single dev taken a look at this thread? I think that this feature would really add a lot to the game. I like the zoom skill idea better than the spyglass, but the spyglass would be better than nothing...

A dev might have looked at this thread. They might not have. Just because they didn\'t reply does NOT mean they did not look at this thread. Otherwise... there are going to be a little too many replies in this thread.

Spyglasses are more realistic than focusing your vision on something in the distance. Try that and see how more realistic a spyglass would be rather than if you tried to focus your own vision. You just can\'t focus your vision on something far away and see it in close detail without \'outside\' aid.

As for Lorune, don\'t overestimate Elves so much. Sure, they can see farther than normal, but they can\'t forcus[/] and zoom on a distant object.
You pay the same price for doing something halfway as for doing it completely. So you might as well do it completely.

But how else are you going to depict the ability to see further in a game.
BattleField 1942 uses zoom to depict using the sites on a rifle.

Some type of zoom sight seems like a possible elf ability when using range weapons, for example.  but that\'s just my opinion.
