At this point I think anything would be an improvement. Everything feels too 'lifeless', and I think this is largely because everything feels either too much copy/paste or just.. randomly generated. At the same time I'm not sure how much it would be worth to really invest a ton of time into it. How many of us actually walk through the villages on foot? I just go in, check for quests, recruits, or purchasable horses and I move along again. And forcing us to walk through them in first person just so we can see all the extra effort devs put into it just would have half of us complain again about the extra loading time they made us go through...
