We still use a scripting language so some coding is needed for advanced stuff (it is very simple though). However, A lot of stuff that required coding in penumbra can be set up directly in the editor now!

To make a map, that has items to pick up, things to interact with(doors that can be opened etc) does not require any coding. But if you want to add functionality, say have a key that can be picked up and used to open a door you will have to do some coding. But it is very basic and fairly easy, its not the difficulty that will be what limits the user, it will be making the effort to do it
using a key on a locked door to open it would be something like:
useitem("key", "door", "opendoor");
opendoor() setentityopen("door", true);
edit
thomas beat me to it..
