Why do the new necrom doors only have handles on one side of the door ?

    Once you go into the room and close the door behind you, you will be trapped forever! Bwahahahahaaaa!

    In ancient times, doors were made of thick, heavy planks of wood or metal that were difficult to move. The handles were mainly for pulling the door open from one side.

    Security was a major concern. Handles on both sides would allow an intruder to easily enter a secured room or building.

    The doors were meant to be operated from just one side, usually the inside, by the owner or trusted occupants. Handles weren't needed on the outside.

    Some doors only needed to be accessed from one side. For example, a castle's heavy front gate only needed handles on the inside to make it easier for guards to open and close it.

    Handles on both sides were seen as unnecessary and a security risk.

    it also looks rather strange when stood inside a room with a door and no handle on it, but yet the door somehow opens towards me.

    Perhaps it's meant to look like the door of a tomb. No door handle needed on the inside.

    Speaking of doors... A question has been bothering me since I first saw a Fargrave door. Why is the handle placed so low?

    So Banekins can open them?

    I thought about it, but have you seen a lot of Banekins in Fargrave?

    They tend to hide from the big, careless humans that go 'splat, splat'.

    Yeah, I can see how it would look pretty weird to be stuck inside a room with a door that opens toward you but has no handle on the inside you can use. Quite possibly the people who built these doors definitely didn't care much about making them easy and convenient to use from inside the rooms. Security was would have been the main goal. The doors were made to keep people out first, not help people inside open them whenever they wanted. Folks inside probably had to use ropes, *** or call guards to come unlatch the door if they needed to get out. The doors were just meant to be opened from the outside by certain people. So it made sense to only put handles on the outside, even if it did make things awkward for anyone chilling in the room.
