    That’s fair, I loved that side of things, too. I’m more talking about the conspicuous and samey cliffs that look and feel a little too contrived, strictly made for gameplay purposes like creating paths, blocking off areas, providing platforming challenges and assassination opportunities. They were overused and unnatural looking sometimes.

    Larger than life beauty for beauty’s sake is done so well, in that game, it’s an amazing experience, the overuse of little cliffs everywhere is really my only gripe. I spend more time walking on my horse along paths than I do galloping straight to my destination. I like just soaking it all in. I’m playing it right now for the first time; I did the first act and the DLC, I’m about a quarter of the way tbrough the second act now. Loving it.

    Edit: Oh I do have a second gripe, but with the DLC, and it’s the same gripe I have with all DLC. It was obviously written by the B team, the writing is less subtle and everything is a bit more extreme. Still a good time, but just a wee notch lower in writing quality than the main story.
