Anyway, I found this extremely tall cliff and my hearthling appears to fly to reach the top of it.
As you can probably tell, the camera doesn't follow me on the way up which makes it fairly difficult to get down until it catches up. (I guess this might come under animation strangeness. Sorry if this should have been posted there.)
Also I found this around the same sort of area and it seems pretty weird. Not sure if its intended though.
