A little while ago, I read how some visitors to the Grand Canyon have actually fallen in and perished because they would get a little too close to the edge and a wave of unexpected vertigo would knock them right down. So while it looks really awesome to step right up to the edge over a massive drop, maybe take a step back from the brink, eh?

“Started playing Lost Ark and literally came across this vista,” said Bereman99. “It was too good not to share. I know the isometric camera is not everyone’s jam, but I’ve really been enjoying how they’ve constructed the world with it, and how they move it in some encounters to help with things like sense of scale or intensity. They’ve definitely taken the approach of ‘If we have a fixed camera perspective, we need to use that to our advantage’ and done very well with that.”

What judgment will you incur? And what bird poop might fall upon your head thereafter?
