Disarm Traps, Part II -- Thieves' Arcadia **mini-spoiler**

Post by msrache »

So, I am exploring the Thieves' Arcadia. I love that place.

I walk up to an inviting looking chest and observe that it is trapped. I approach it anyway. I get a pop-up message asking me if I want to disarm it. Then I look down at my scrolling text messages and read "Empty, yet trapped! Just the kind of trick you'd expect in a Thieve's [sic] lair." Forewarned is forearmed. I back away.

I'm pretty sure the results message regarding what you find in the chest didn't appear in the text window until after the disarming of the trap is undertaken and perhaps concluded (one way or the other) in the Windows version. Or perhaps it happens this way in both versions, and I just didn't notice it in Windows, but now on Mac I am thinking more seriously about trap disarming because of the time commitment involved. Either way, perhaps it would be better for the results message not to show up before one even decides whether to disarm the trap.
