1. That escalator is obviously for disable people
2. It's not about radically changing things and freeing up thousands of hours, it's just a little thing that will help, and make things a little bit easier
1. Moving stairs are so way better option for people on wheelchairs than normal stairs...
2. I guess it would take more time to make it work than it would ever save.
I just wanted to say that if they implemented it just in the beginning when they created this character menu it would be cool, but priority of this little change is very low and it is probably in the very end of the current to-do list. We waitin for new exp system, for armours, for other fixes and thingies either about strat, stats or something else. You can try and ask about such a small change but I doubt it will get any attention. It's too minor feature imho.
