You honestly take the words outta my mouth, a few weeks ago though.
Had the same feeling towards the black forest at the beginning of venturing in there, but there is real payoff coming from that uncomfortable feeling once you advance.
When you have better gear, food and skills the black forest becomes a real nice place,
instead of the dreadful deathtrap it is for a time. Then you eventually yearn for it when
you have to spend much time in those horrible, awful swamps.
Setting moods is a strenght of this game.
