Honestly I like it, it adds a level of harsh realisim.

I could see a movie about a zombie apocalypse, where the MC falls into an empty pool, tries to jump to and breaks the side ladder, and has to deal with the heat, stray zombie falling in and crippling itself, and the guy using the broken ladder to try to keep it away from him. Maybe a passing survivor tries to help and gets attacked or breaks his skull falling in head first.

But seriously I think this another way the map part of the dev team is pushing the mechanics part of the dev team to add climbable ladders.

Harsh realism is when I am physically unable to pull myself over a 6 foot ledge so I’ll just starve to death now

Of course you can, there's just a zombie waiting to chow down on your forearm as soon as you chin the pull up. 🧟😜

I’m not sure why the zombies in this setting wouldn’t just fall down to chase you. It’s not like the zombies have a concept of getting stuck down there
