A bit disapointed with spider climbing.

[Cassilda]

I bought slippers of spider climbing for my Darkweaver rogue so he could benefit from his predator feature more often, but as it turn out, the number of walls you can actually climb is very limited.

Seriously there is plenty of perfectly vertical surfaces with no obstacles that are impossible to climb at all. Meanwhile you will sometime take asburd paths around random objects and platforms that really dont look like you should be able to climb them. Its very disapointing considering thats what the Darkweaver is supposed to be all about.

I can understand things like not being able to jump in diagonals or climb slanted irregular surfaces, but smooth vertical dungeon walls ? Come on. If you can make the fly spell work, you can make spider climb work along straight walls. Please.

Well, the fly spell also only works sometimes. There are numerous gaps you can jump but not fly over (presumably because the game can't handle anyone falling into a bottomless chasm).

The interaction in this game is pretty limited. I only use the Spider Climb spell to get to some chests.

Agree.

If you fly you CANNOT go through a crawlspace, and therefore have to kill off the spell.
Or wait out the four hours with short rests in the case of the flight boots.

If you fall in a bottomless chasm your character insta dies and you get the option to resurect them(using a spell/scroll/crown) and they get teleported back close the rest of your team. If it happens during a battle you only get the option after the battle ends.

Since we also talked about fly, for those who don't know:
PSA: hold left shift and use the scroll wheel to see spaces in the air for movement and spells. Not sure how it works with spider climb.

Also of note, other are effect spells such as burning hands can target different elevations using the same "shift + scroll wheel" although the game does not explicitly say so.

Which is very useful to get those fireballs to hit targets behind objects and corners. And to aim slightly up to reduce the aoe area on the ground level, to make sure your own team is not inside.

I found it really disappointing particularly when there are enemies who can do similar things but stop halfway up a wall by choice where mine would only do that extremely rarely because they stopped moving for a reason (most often on the wall behind the Elf vendor in the Inn)
