When the game sends us out into the world it doesn’t feel like going exploring through dangerous lands, it feels like dancing on a stage set up for the MSQ.

Fates haven’t been updated in years and their only real benefit is bicolour gemstones which is basically a patchwork fix to the fact Fates don’t do anything. Gathering outside of something like cosmic just exists to artificially gate how long it takes you to get new gear, there is no danger to seeking out things, no adventure to finding what you want. It’s just whack a sparkling tree with the same collectible rotation we have used for years.

And other than that there is just nothing. Genuine question when did you last go to the ruby sea or cortheas western highlands. The zones just don’t have proper functions that make it feel like a connected dangerous world
i don't want that. It was a pain already going through msq and being chased by everything. Even when we were meeting an npc for a quest suddenly i have to stop mid chat to kill something that spotted me. It was annoying. And I go back to those areas for hunts, gathering, nostalgia, fate farming, custom deliveries and eventually one day i'm going to go through the sight seeing log and gpose a bunch in my favorite areas. Just flying around and listening to the music in some areas is relaxing. The world is dangerous but not if you're way above the level of the dlc.

I personally want better writing for the current patch. Damn 8.0. Who knows when that will be? I want hats and all universal hairs for viera and hrothgar. I want the weird issues with my character's looks after the graphic update to be fixed.
