The exaltation of coming across yet another lord; we tried to extrapolate from the keyboard how many lords we were missing... And it wasn't just one and the same mountain, but there were all different names and combinations. Otherwise it's abit like saying there's only some 250 elements. Once you've seen a water molecule you've seen 'em all. And the landscape has been beautifully crafted. This is something that DDR never reached; the names were too similar, the landscape lacked distinctive features, and the exploration was hampered by all those stubborn characters getting in the way.

Even though the graphics were reused repeatedly, the landscape was still utterly believable.
