It's weird, and as you say in post 1, you have the same game as everyone else, so what's causing this difference ? You talk about speedrunning, which made me think about this : When you reach the camp, are there any quest markers on it ? I think there are 2 available, "find the nightsong" and "rescue Halsin". I guess most players have at least one of these quests by the time they get to the camp. But what if none of these have started. Could that generate a path "untested" ? Just thinking out loud, I guess.
