i think that some tweaking to the map/ui/waypoint travel needs some love and i would be a big fan if they incorporated more of the map image/theme design that we find on the boarders of ea as it gives a more 'world map' feel v the current waystone point and click (it also reminds me alot of the og bg maps and art design).
i still would like if larian provided some comment as to the lock mechanic happening after act 1, and if its limited to just companions or maps as well - not a fan of act maps that restrict where you can and cant revisit as you progress the story.
