Sacrament is a gigantic miserable rat's nest

[The Meatus of the Dingus]

Sacrament is huge and 95% of the real estate there seems to be more or less pointless. I just spent about 10 minutes running around trying and failing to find the way out to the east, since that's where my next story quest is. I eventually found a big gate with some guard who just says "none shall pass" so I guess that's not the way out. Or is it? Who knows.

Putting all the vendors and crafters 40 miles from your storage chest and then not letting you craft from storage is a bad move. Putting a guy who will craft a shortcut for me in exchange for me spending a bunch of time mining/chopping, and then waiting 15 minutes in real time feels like something from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Evony, not a $40 PC game.

I guess this game is inspired by ARPGs and Soulslikes, and there's a reason every "town" in those games is essentially a bunch of shops arranged in a circle around your stash.
