Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

    Hopefully they’ll come up with something good! I guess I’m just looking at the sheer scale of the game world (200k square miles, 2.5 times the size of Daggerfall!) and wondering how it’ll turn out. It seems they have some impressive procedural generation technology up their sleeves. As you mentioned, the early access version will be “only” 50k square miles, so it should be a easier goal to hit! I’m definitely looking forward to watching as things progress.

    Oh definitely, most game worlds are really compressed. The idea of a huge game world is very tempting to them, but they don’t want to commit. For those cases I think aiming for a small realistically scaled world would be a better option. I’ve spent several hundred hours on Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s 6 square mile map because it’s such a real feeling world. I’m sure I would enjoy it even more if they could keep the same quality level over a much bigger map though!

      Didn’t have a chance to play Kingdom Come yet but what I’ve seen and heard makes me optimistic about doing so. The second game is apparently twice as large so here’s hoping your wish comes true on the quality of the experience.

        It’s definitely not a game for everyone, but it’s really great for the people that like it. I’ve been trying to stay spoiler free as much as I can, but the gameplay videos I’ve seen look to be just as good or a little better than the first. I’m waiting to see what people say about after it releases though!
