Five Eyes, Five Biomes... It all makes sense now

I don't know. Is this a gaming-forum? So you don't like fun with language. Some people do.

Worthwhile specific information would be things like where is there a skel tower, where's a crypt, where's the metal, where's the beef?

Without skill-drain you could gather not only useful information, but stuff, risking only your worst gear and there would be no charge if you died, on the contrary, there would be a tomb with the stuff you had found neatly gathered waiting to give you a corpse run.
