   Mind fuck - There are NO ladders in Fallout or Oblivion.

   Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I bet that got some of you. ;)

   Why I hear you call? Simple answer, I won’t hold back.

   Bethesda’s engine simply couldn’t handle them.

   Game Director Todd Howard admitted during a panel at Quakecon that including them would then enforce more horrid loading screens onto gamers, something which obviously wasn’t an option.

   Another reason was the problems it caused AI characters.

   Just the higlight was his continuation to say; “One day, we tried to figure out why we wanted ladders so bad because we don’t really need them. It just felt like we’re game development pussies because we can’t do ladders.”

   LOL@.

    I thought there were ladders in Fallout?  Not really ladders that you could climb, but they were more like doors to click on and go to the next area.  I know there were ones next to the Satellite dishes to the north west side of the map.
