If any of this has already been confirmed to be coming out, let me know.

For 2.0 I think maps should be blank and only filled in as we explore them. There's no sense of exploration since we already know where every mountain, body of water, cave, etc are located before we even take 2 steps in an area because our maps tell us where everything is. Because of this, I've never felt the need to explore and only get to where I need to go. I feel that exploration is a huge part of what immersion is all about and the more immersion we have, the better.

In regards to crafting....could we a proper recipe book? A book that organizes all synths via category and level of difficulty. Each space within the book can be a "????" until you've crafted or unlocked that particular recipe (i think of the recipe book in Dragon Quest IX). I would be more inclined to craft and try to fill my book rather than mindlessly grind one thing every few levels. I'm also sure other people would appreciate that and have something to do for quite some time as well.

If a recipe book gets implemented, allow us to store our top 5 favorite crafts (things we craft the most) and the last thing we crafted, so that we don't have to scroll through the entire list just to get to the thing we want to craft.

It's an idea. What do you guys think?
