^ This is it, huh
Half of the map is just ocean, that you can't even swim in.
12 years of development time.

I felt the exact same way when I fully uncovered the map in the first game.
Glad they were faithful with this sequel.

Lol that was expected. 4x the size of the first game map. Which was fairly small if you explored every area.

[Migromul]

Did you all even try the game out? The director anounced that the map is 4 tiimes bigger than the last one. And that's true.

[Call Sign: Raven]

That's wild that they have the gall to release a game like this and put it next to huge games like Skyrim and Elden Ring and say "this is totally open world, trust me bro"

dude is dripping, did he even play? lol. map is huge, 50 dungeons to find, not to mention every quest steps are so far from each other (that kind of sucks but it shows how big the map is). won't be farming award from me lol

The water thing is integral to the story. Play the game, and you'll understand

the map is giant, going from one town to the next takes long enough. thank goodness for the oxcart system.

No they won't, if they're dumb enough to think this game has been in active development for 12 straight years...

[SgtDragoon]

This is a complaint? The map size is fine. Lord what did you want infinite generation?
Play "starfield" for that mate. *eyeroll

Did he even play? No. He doesn't even have a mark indicating he has the game. Besides, his 12 years in development comment shows he knows nothing about the game or it's development. They've only been working on it for a few years. He's just a troll.

It doesn't look like much from this angle but in the game the scale of the mountains is crazy.

It's actually a very nice map.

Please tell me this is really bad satire or something..

That picture without context in game doesn't do the actual map any justice. When you are actually traversing the map, it feels a lot bigger than it looks because you can't just go in a straight line everywhere, don't have mounts, etc.
The size of the game world is very least of my gripes. If you want to talk about optimization or mouse/keyboard control, I'll be on board.
