The World design is such that it starts all nice and open in a green area with people feeling relatively happy. It all goes down from there, so the later areas become more grim, dangerous with plenty of nasty surprises, though there are the occassional safe harbors. There's quite some visual variation which is something I'm glad of.
Funny that you mention swamps, we had swamps, cool ones at that but somewhere during the production they were cut.
Hi! I'm new here but I've been following the game news since 'always'. I have a question regarding what Mr Lar said here. Those 'areas' mentioned... do they need to be loaded or all the world is seamless as I imagined? I know from the GC presentation videos that indoors are loaded a part like Fallout 3/Oblivion but I expected the outdoors to be all 'at once'. And don't get me wrong, if the areas are 'separated' that means more details and new stuff in them, not like the 'wasteland', it was all the same and then Bethesda used the metro stations as an excuse to load the unique locations a part...
And another one, the guy in the logo, will him be the default character? I'm asking because I like him a LOT and if you give me him as my avatar I wouldn't mind if there is not face generator at all
Thanks!
