Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Misconception Destroyed - Map is abstract distance

So here's what I'm thinking they should do with the map. I think that they should split up the map into several smaller map locations all connected by some hub gateway. So everything from the beach through the nautiloid to where you meet Lae'zel should be one map location. Then you should have a hub gate. When you access the hub gate it tells you that you travel for several hours.

The second map location would then be the Grove. You would include everything up to the forest. There should be a hub gate near where you meet Alfira that takes you to another map location that is down by the river where you fight the harpies. That map location should be something like 30 minutes from the Grove or something like that. Another hub gate would lead you to the forest with Moonhaven and so forth that would be roughly an hour away. They could build more upon this area and make it a true forest instead of like a grove and a village.

Then a gateway takes you north to Risen Road, and the game tells you about an hour has passed to get there. Now you have Waukeen's Rest, the gnolls, the toll house and the gith encounter all in one map.

Another gateway takes you south to the bog area. This is only a 20 minute journey. There you meet Ethel and the boys on the edge of the bog, and the whole map location is the bog, the Hag's house, etc.

Finally, there's a gateway to the Temple Area map location. That includes everything beyond the bridge leading out of the Moonhaven.

Something like this would make so much more sense.
