It's easy to get turned around and stuck under the rocks as they are transparent when looking out, but still solid. If you do get trapped under the rocks you can fast travel out of it. There are also cracks in the crater walls that will leave you stuck fast to the ground in places, unable to move in any direction, and some oddly placed and ''very'' annoying invisible walls. Your companions may also get stuck in the walls while swimming in the area and eventually die. |
