Still finding new things after all these hours...

I occasionally still make discoveries even after so many hours played.

Maybe because 'no boss' and 'no portal' runs are a bit more deliberate and paced and so you tend to explore more (at least in my case).

I found a Draugr village, a large one, and in the main building on a raised platform opposite the doors sat a throne.

Not one for ostentatious decorations (and needing the lumber as well) I took down the throne and took apart the platform only to discover...

,,,two treasure chests, no doubt hidden there by the last holder of the throne

I may be late to the dance in finding this, but I was a neat discovery none-the-less.

Has anyone discovered anything under or around the stone megaliths? It's like 3 vertical stones supporting a 4th stone above. I tried digging under one but wasn't able to find anything.

@Renlish +1

It is the little discoveries that make exploring fun. I hope the devs add quite a few more as the game matures.

Perhaps of list of potential POIs that each have a chance to spawn with new seeds. POIs similar to the skeleton you can find at the frozen lake in a Frost Cave.

Yep. Discovered a village with the same thing before. But only once so far.

Same for having found a fishing pole at the bottom of a large cave system guarded by a stone golem. Just once...so far.

I can't add to the conversation, I just love reading about people's discovering aspects of the game they didn't know about. I love that sense of wonder. If the devs popped more little things in the game like this I wouldn't mind it at all.

IIRC the stone towers in the Black Forest that have the stone patio around the front and the wooden floorboards inside can also have chests under the floor.

I have 1350 hours played in all manner and fashion and I do not believe I have discovered "hidden" Draugr chests. Nice find!
