Dungeon Description

[Aetherius Shadowblade]

My OCD is getting the best of me tonight. And I am asking this question.

If I want a description of a dungeon to go to a passing player, should I have it go to their journal or as a gump?

It has to be player's choice whether they want to see the description or not. So, I would rather see it as a gump but after I had double clicked something or clicked on something. Just my opinion tho.

Like maybe a gump opens up before they enter?
So it doesn't interfere with them if they have to fight?

Umm, well I doubt I would like to see the same gump every time I'm about to enter a dungeon .. you have to come up with your own idea as to how you want to present the dungeon. Whether there's an npc at the dungeon entrance , or at tavern. Or some sign or something the player has to interact with to get to the description if they wish ... but that's from my point of view.

If some PKs are chasing you and you have fun with the entrance, i doubt you would like to get a gump xD

Thanks Milva. I figured out how to use XML for this.
I was looking for people's opinion on which way to do this.
