Many were worried that the scale would make the game feel empty, while others felt as though Bethesda should have focused more on the story and NPCs instead of the clearly flawed open-world itself. There is so much to do that discovering every POI would be nearly impossible, butthe chance of discovering this POI is even rarer than others.
When players aren't romancing Astarion and swooning over his snarky lines, they’re often using the rogue to pick locks and disarm traps, though there are some alternatives to the latter that players are just now finding out about.
