It's not different. I think you misunderstood the situation.
When you cast a bolt in the
wrong direction because of fat fingering, then it bounces back at you and you die, that's considered accidental right? That's what this RFE aims to cover with extra prompt, correct?
When you pick up your items and proceed to leave the Tomb of the High Kings but you pick the
wrong direction because of fat fingering and you step on the ice, that's not accidental anymore?
Is miss-stepping somehow different from miss-casting a bolt due to finger slipping off the key being the cause in both cases? Come on, cut me a slack here, the logic is identical.
I'm not talking about deliberately stepping on the ice while carrying 2k+ stones, I'm talking about the exact same case of pressing the wrong direction key and dying.
If there is a prompt to save the PC from that, there has to be a dozen other prompts to save to PC from a very similar situation where poor choice of direction with a single key equals death.
I can't see this as something doable or desirable.
Given those three factors, I'm okay with a warning for this. It's not going to spoil your game now is it Blas?
No, it's not, though I'd very much like to have the option to disable the prompt in adom.cfg.
