A video autoplaying with recognizable gameplay is MUCH more compelling than a ‘cinematic’ shot or establishing shot, or something else which does not look like player controlled gameplay. It could even be one clip if there’s enough interesting stuff happening consistently.

AI on ladders can cause weird interactions with other systems like if, for example, [ the player starts a cinematic ]. We could let them clip through each other, but that often looks hideous. Further, there are potential griefing issues if players cannot clip through each other and decide to block off ladders physically.

can cause self-clipping and other graphical weirdness. Since we have to accommodate all possibilities, there will likely be some interpenetration and clipping when that occurs, and some animations may end up looking screwed up.
