Fence>Jump; Fence gates

[Laremere]

For fences I would consider it reasonable if you have like 20 agi that you could jump it. Just right click and hit jump, you walk up to the fence and go to the other side. Additionally, fences should haves gates (especially needed when we get herding) they require no key. Both fence jumping and gate opening create trespassing clues when used on claimed property.

Also, it'd be cool if wild animals (deer, boars, and so on) would randomly eat some of the crops, so you need to have fences around farms to keep them from doing so.

Sounds like a great idea with no unbalancing factor to it at all.

then you wont get vandalism scents on claimed fences

This shouldn't apply to Brick Walls and Palisades at least. Regular round pole fences already break really easily

[PhaedrothSP]

If you attempt to jump a fence while overstuffed, it collapses?

Hm, I didn't think of that part. Also, I'm talking about fence fences, not any other walls. Wouldn't work while carrying anything, so you'd have to break some down to carry stuff out. Also, since when do fences not have open parts anyway?

[Jackard]

itd make fences even more worthless than they already are, really

gameplay trumps realism

I believe there is a plan at some stage to do gates for the round pole fences... personally I can't wait

[Gauteamus]

I like the idea of jumpable fences, the fences absolutely need to be able to be closed off, but still reachable, and a gate with a key to a round pole fence sounds just silly (the key, not the gate). Not having gates to the fences would make the mechanics a bit more diverse, though. Maybe have the chance to succeed in jumping be some asymptotical function (e.g. hyperbolic or inverse exponential) of Agility.
Failure on jumping would leave your char in the same place, and drain a suitable amount of stamina (maybe around 33% of full sta, depending on the chosen probabilities of success at different Agi levels)

That is stupid.
