Is it original? Not even a little.
But that’s why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.
Honestly, I’m cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)
So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.
If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there’s one, I’m content.
And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there’s nothing else.
Oh yeahhhhhh
Apologies for those who have now lost the rest of their day…
