And then the second question is.... were you (like me) very disappointed when you watched a bundle of rope just get thrown to an unreachable ledge?

I'm going to guess that this will show up when crafting does

I think rope is probably the only thing I haven't tried to throw. That's a bummer but perhaps feedback can change that, although I suspect it would be a nightmare to balance various things. But that's their job.

Maybe you failed your roll?

Tried it, was slightly disappointed

I picked up every rope I could hoping it would allow me to climb (much like pathfinder). I was disappointed to find its simply a bundle of rope.

Thats... Disappointing.
