    How would they know something was behind the start that one time if they didn’t already look there in the first place?

      dark souls 1 also had a hidden wall behind a hidden wall that hid a whole bonus area including a pvp covenant and a bonus bossfight

        No, that’s DKC1, in Oil Drum Alley. The second bonus room can grant an explosive barrel that you use to blow open a door to the third bonus room. DKC2 has two bonus rooms stacked on top of each other in Haunted Hall. There’s a track off the normal path that you can jump to, and you go into an entrance, but you want to jump onto the roof of that entrance to get into another, more hidden entrance. That upper bonus stage goes forwards and backwards, and you roll out of it backwards, and then into the lower stage, and then on completion of that you continue the level.

      Well I’m only regulating the posts, not the comments, so it’s somewhat feasible :)

        I figure it will take quite a lot to filter it out but I hope it works out. We need some places here without continuous political spam.

      This is why I’ve never finished Baldur’s Gate 3, there’s just so much exploring by the time I hit act 3 I’m mentally tired from all the searching methodically lol

        That is because Baldurs Gate 3, or really any RPG, isn’t meant to be 100% completed in one run.

        Instead, you play a character that chooses and reacts to the parts they encounter and write a story like that. That character might not want to do certain story beats, but an other character might. You pick and choose what fits your character.

        Don’t worry about missing something, that is what the second playthrough is for.

        I tried to be thorough the first time but so far on every (singleplayer) playthrough since then I have discovered new things mostly in acts 1 or 3 though.

    I feel like most dungeon crawlers in the 80’s and 90’s had something nice hidden in the starting room.

      You disliked Ready Player One for that weird twist.

      I disliked Ready Player One because it was a shit book that became a movie.

      We are not the same.

        It was an ok book, it was pulpy scifi (a genre I consume a lot of because I can pick it up and put it down easily). It could have been a GREAT movie but they dumbed down the story (which wasnt super deep to begin with) to cram it into a single movie and then couldnt be arsed/didnt want to pay for all the licencing they would need to do it right.

        It actually needed some writers to go over it, expand it and make it a Trilogy.

        Both the book and the movie left a lot on the table.

          Their mistake was hiring Spielberg to direct it. I read that Spielberg didn’t want any of his films in it, because he felt it would seem self serving. That resulted in gutting out a large percentage of the original references from the book.

            Hanna once slapped the shit out of Barbera for saying he was bigger than Yogi Bear. Someone should have gone upside his head. “Oh no, you had a significant cultural impact on popular culure in the latter quarter of the century. This isnt about you.”

      Real life too.

      Don’t listen to TLC though they’re trying to keep all the good waterfalls for themselves.
