I also think about this "goodie"
During the "adventuring" part of the game, the framerate is
evend out to around 25-30 FPS (with the specific LOD)
So the player can enjoy a nice scenery.
now when it comes to a fight, the engine increases the FPS
to around 40-50 FPS, by reducing the LOD.
Sine the player needs in this condition a high Framerate, and does not care much about
the scenery.
