   @Nifflas This reminds me of a painful memory from my previous project (*cough* Gollum), where I was actually not a designer, for once, but a tester (it's a long story, it was a temporary solution to a schedule clash).

   One of the problems I run into was one of our subcontractors, who QA-ed the hell out of OOBs and misaligned textures, because that's easy to do, at the cost of blockers and other serious issue, that take some skill to find and reproduce.

     I feel it was long since I played a game that tried to keep me out of bounds with honest geometry.

     Lately all games I've played have had special navigation geometry that's practically impossible to break free of. Very little physics/collider shenanigans to exploit.

     Last game I played that had really good out of bounds exploration was High on Life, I believe.
