    Wouldn’t it be kind of boring if it was just like the great plains for 40 miles with maybe a singular river on the far side?

    You’re lucky if the game has reasonable climate progression like this. Most games the frozen zone is right next to forest zone which is right next to the volcano zone.

      People “this game is so unrealistic, there’s no way these biomes would be this close and distinct”

      Also people “flying through space for weeks to visit a baren rock is so bullshit and biting”

      I never completed that one but had explored most of the mainland. I really need to go back and go through it all again. I loved the small details throughout the world. The wilderness and countryside was so well done, with little shrines along the roads here and there and so many lived-in places throughout. I spent 75% of my playtime with Roach set to a slow trot just so I could really absorb the world and feel like I was making a journey on those old roads. There’s something so profoundly Witcher about quietly riding dark paths at night and stopping to hear a monster in the woods. You climb off Roach and draw your silver sword, then make your way into that decrepit forest to deal with whatever is going on out there.

        Witcher 3 was one of the few games I 100% and didnt use fast travel… the journey was half the game.

    Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I’d like to play it.
