Ghouls have Noclip enabled. They're already nearly impossible to spot first in the darkness, and now this BS. You can't even fight them without being stupidly overpowered. I'm also still getting a mood penalty from killing animals despite having killed 50+. Great Coordination Lv.1 increased my max wellness level to 10 despite not having taken the perk.

Ghouls are supposed to be the game over enemies for majority of the game. Player should only be in the caves for a short amount of time and when you hear the growl, you know it's time to leave quickly.  Noclip is a workaround, because the engine has no pathfinding and this is a simple temporary fix. Ghouls will be worked on more in the future. One simple solution to make them slighly easier to deal with is to make them glow a little in the dark, so you can see them coming.

Animal killing no longer affects the mood loss. Morality now does. Once your morality goes to -10, you should stop getting mood penalties for killing animals. Morality can be lowered by killing humanoids or animals.

I checked and I don't see any reason why great coordination should affect wellness. Is there something else you did before you noticed the wellness increase? Joining the church increases wellness for example.

Something like this:

Doesn't make them completely visible, but your eyes can see the red light moving on the screen and you know there is something coming after you.

Legitimately cannot find it, even zoomed in. Are they meant to appear after only three room transitions? It made getting the Fire Bloodstone far more difficult than it would have been otherwise. On the topic of Ghouls, consider renaming them Wraiths due to their ability to walk through walls as well as putting them on the front layer so they aren't obscured by the terrain.

It's not perfectly visible, but you can see the red glow moving while in game. But I can adjust it and make it more visible no problem. My goal is to just give a hint that something is there, not to make them light up like a lightbulb.

This is how it looks when I increase the brightness


Their ability to walk through walls is just a placeholder until I get some form of pathfinding working. Without that, they would be completely useless and not dangerous at all. Once that happens, they will walk around obstacles like you would expect them to.

The lit-up version is much more noticeable, but still not obvious at a glance.

It's much more visible when you can see it actualy moving in the darkness.
