I don't know... I don't agree with all of this. Those who rush to the end will obviously get there quickly. Those who read the text in sidequests and take in the scenery will get a deeper experience. It's all in the playstyle. But i definetly agree that the zones/areas are too small - so far, I haven't felt like I'm in the wilderness even once. There's a rooftop around every corner. And THAT bothers me.
