Here is a small showcase of the sort of milestone I got to last night, that being basically all the base "interactive" framework for the chests.

Here is Part.16 where I:
- Finally got base chest interactions tested and working (besides spell aoe detection)
- Talked about a bunch of things while doing testing
- Explained how I got the arrow collision to properly work by getting DaggerfallMissile component from parent rather than the mesh that is given for arrow projectiles
- Explained a bunch of other stuff I realized, was a very productive session, if not a bit scattered

What do you think of damaging some items depending on the means of opening the container? Fragile items like potions, clothes, art, etc. might be smashed or burned. The monk might be much better at recovering items because of his ability to be precise and controlled while bashing with a fireball or flail could create havoc.
Remember always 'What would Julian Do?'.

Yeah, that's already been on my radar since the beginning basically, since I knew I'd want bashing in atleast. But yeah, I plan to do alot of stuff later on when I get to loot-generation and modification that will do alot of stuff like that depending on how the chest was accessed, be it bashing, damaging spells, etc.
