Yeah, he really should change that. Heck, it isn't even enough to just walk into the elevator, you have to press the damn button. Just moving the door for your house to ground level would already make a world of difference.
Just for shits and giggles, I checked what's needed to enter your house from the moment you enter the main building.
up, right, up, enter, enter, right, up, enter, down, down, enter, left, down, right, up.
A bit excessive if you ask me. x)
Yesterday I played Dilmur, that game had a city map with places to choose from as soon as you walk out of the front door to get from place to place. That system works so much nicer.
With fast travel these RPGM games are so much more enjoyable.
