In some places there are a lot of items. Like in a kitchen.
Just imagine there is a key hidden somwhere and you are looking at this brightly lit room, with the 30-something balls glowing. That would be confusing.
Also, nothing is hidden anymore. The key that is hidden under the pillow now automatically glows. Then they can just as well not hide it.
If the feature is used with restricted view then you still have to literally explore every room, inch by inch. Do you have any idea how many rooms, hallways and trees there are to look for stuff? I think this is a great featur the first few hour or two of the game. But I'm convinced that after that time, I personally would like to have a faster way of doing this, like with an ALT key <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
