I agree with alot of your points, I've also submitted feedback to Larian to have more realism, right now it's so easy to steal from vendors it's laughable. It's easy to just take Laezels armour, wear it and give her rags and she doesn't complain. There is very little wild life or life on the map like you mentioned. You can kill half a goblin camp and the other half just stands in place and won't notice anything. They're just waiting for you to ambush them. Less of DO:S2 and more new features and realism would be a welcomed change
