Monsters and doors

[xcom]

So if a monster starts in a enclosed area with a closed door. The monster pretty much does nothing until a hero opens the door. Since the monster won't react to the hero unless the monster can see the hero and a closed door blocks line of sight. I find this kinda funny in the first scenario since 4 goblins start in a enclosed room like that with no exploration token. So unless the heroes want to kill the goblin for the coin, there's no real reason for the hero to open the door.

Since the quest is "Kill 3 monsters" and it is a training quest, it basically allows heroes to walk up, open door and smack monster as simply as possible.

Later quests, monsters seem to have pre-opened doors or a reason to force you to open the door and engage the monster.

That is true. Can you spend a movement to close a door? I didn't see anything in the rules that said you couldn't do it.

Yeah, it's one movement to close a door. There's plenty of reason to kill them in the first scenario though. The pve quest is to kill 3 monsters like others have said
