[quote who="GnarlyFurtardo" reply="37" id="3605035"]remove all the damage-causing elements from the arena immediately[/quote] Agree it's a problem, not sure the suggested solution is the best option. Removing all damage dealing elements when on low health has a couple of downsides; firstly where do you set the threshold for "low health" to do this, and secondly it just feels a little too far beyond believable (I don't really want to use the term 'realistic', but it als

One of the most annoying and immersion breaking things I've found in many games, especially open-world style ones, is that something which is critically important just waits for the player to do something about it. Imagine if you will, a game where in
