Exploration is indeed pretty sick, I love the vantage points like Assassin's Creed and how you get a decent chunk of XP for things like that. Exploration is made even better with how dynamic events can string you along the world and the crafting system is just so damn rewarding. For one, I've heard a lot of people rejoice over resource nodes not disappearing once 1 person gets to them. But I've gotten a ton of XP from crafting, like a LOT, and have created some pretty awesome stuff, from actually useful gear for my toon to just cool stuff like Onion Rings and Veggie Burgers for all my vegans out there.

This game is great.
