I agree.

I remember the early days trying the Plains and the Deathsquitos killing me offshore in a boat.... but at least I could see the Deathsquitos coming so I could stay further out or come in more stealthy.

Mistland's terrain is 100% more annoying than any other bad terrain in other games. Skyrim for example in the mountains could be a pain to figure a way up with tons of jumping and trying to find the right area to land on to keep going up.

It's almost like the devs thought "which two super-annoying things are in open world games - lets combine them !!!!!!". I bet the ashlands will have quick time events and strong hot winds that make you walk/run at 10% speed...
