Ya know.... I'm just gonna put it out there for people who complain that procedurally generated worlds is just more of the same over and over... have you guys ever gone and traveled around a few different regions, sadly once you seen one big city and series of towns around it there isn't a whole pile of change to the actual buildings and peoples in my experiences so far, sure some are slightly hotter but if you don't like seeing copy pasted buildings you better be ready for a shock as to how many towns have a gamestop and a McDonalds (all of them) or things like Subway. Sure don't get me wrong every town and city has its own historic landmark or so, but after a while you'll get to see the designs of most old architecture and honestly.... yeah the spread of the catholic church over Europe made it so most towns have rather similar designs as their main concern was spreading out.
This isn't a dig at the game here.... more a case of a dig at travel possibly lol, just that the world as a whole is mostly the same, if you got Zapped right now to some town roughly the same size as yours in the other side of the world (staying on the same position N/S) then the difference would just be down to layout, the people and buildings are more or less the same, modern architecture is built to code and generally boring. |
As someone who is travelling a lot I can agree with the statement mostly. There aren't that many cities in each country that are worth a visit.
Usually it's the bigger ones that also have more history but once you've seen a couple of them there's barely a reason to see more within that same country.
The architecture will likely be identical, the people obviously as well. The museums and markets have the same offerings, the stores are the same etc.

Hey do you know this church in your area?
no... that's not your one of them, in fact I was looking for the one of them in my area but google images chucked me up that one, which is near identical.
Hurrah I found my one of it, I'm just saying that if you were to fast travel around from town to town in real life you would think things were just copy pasted lol.
That church is present in so many towns and cities across Europe and the thing is, it's a lovely building, but there is only so many times you can see them and think "wow" although I will say the one of those in the middle of Lincoln... which I think is the oldest church in England was kinda cool because it's a homeless shelter now.
