I'm working on making the environment a little bit more interesting. Although there won't be a LOT of content in these new places for the time being(Increasing main content is the primary focus), they are still important for some quests / fast travel spots.
Generally a big hurdle is making sure there is enough content on the map to justify the size.
Not only is this hard to do, you also have to make sure there is enough to do while actually travelling between these different locations.
I plan on gradually making both of these more enjoyable; albeit through rare random enemies on the map, travelling people or hidden locations containing loot or traps.
Of course, these are all just plans for future content.
More screenshots and news coming up in the next couple of hours/days =)
