Currently, the Moorwatch/Cattlepult vista suffers from two difficulties:

  1. There is a narrow window during which people can use it.
  2. The window depends on NPCs / events progressing correctly.

This creates a lot of confusion over whether the ’pult is bugged or not and makes it more confusing than necessary for people trying to use it. Instead of trying to troubleshoot why it sometimes gets bugged, I propose that the devs make one small modification:

  • Allow the cattlepult to be usable whenever it’s not being loaded with cows.

This way, the ‘pult will continue to be usable even if Mardine’s assistant gets confused about where to find fresh test subjects, the harpies make off with the cows, or Mardine decides to launch himself (he’s mad, you know). The use of the ’pult will still be tied to the event/lore, but without the strict dependency and opportunities to get stuck.
