Agree - I have been one hit by golems plenty of times but usually I get the danger warning first.
Did you have anything that was granting you the "bravery" status effect? I forget if that's the exact name. But it makes you "reckless" as well so you don't get danger warnings.
Rubbing a genie lamp is a similar high risk, high reward.
It's nice to have the option to steal if you're desperate, or just a thrillseeker. And I like any change that makes the game more realistic.
I like the idea of pilfering from the Attnam shops early in the game. Your character isn't that buffed yet, you're broke, and don't have any valuable items so it's worth the risk. You manage to steal some nice equipment, but finally slip up. The alarm bells go off, but somehow you teleport off to an empty corner of the map and escape the city. The entire course of the game is now altered - you can't return to Attnam anymore so your only options are to power through the Tombs or Gloomy Caves with your newly acquired gear
In the past we have tried to either restrict gift values to ~20 USD/Euro or to restrict them to digital gifts only
I love the non-digital gifts I've received but it definitely makes things a little difficult since some budgets are limited and we all live around the globe.
