I fully agree.

I want it like this personally.
Not levels like in Lugaru, but of course there has to be loading points.
You should be able to travel all across the island (except for places that's geographically unreachable by whatever forms of travel availible)
and maybe even further, like other islands. This depends on how big the island is of course, we don't know how big it really is.
I think David said long-distance travel might be like in Fallout, which sounds
good

I don't know, I hope it would, but that doesn't seem to be what David is hinting at.
David wrote:Probably more like Fallout in this respect because unlike Oblivion the L2 world is full-scale; it would take weeks or months to walk across the entire map.
Besides saying that traveling will be more like Fallout than oblivion, I think "full-scale" simply means that the island will be hundreds or thousands of miles wide instead of Oblivion's 15 mile landscape (I forgot exactly how big). Or else David could have just said it's more like Oblivion because you would be able to move around freely, instead of like Fallout where you have to fast travel everywhere and you don't even have the option of walking there.

In town, eating will have more of a social role, in that you can talk to everyone else. Resting will be important, but you will usually only have to do it manually if you want to recover from injuries or wait for something. If someone is hunting you, then they will definitely wait until you are distracted or asleep before attacking.
This also hints that you won't actually be running around across the map in Lagaru 2. Foraging for food or creating shelters might not mean you are literally walking around gathering up food and setting up camps. It's just, if you travel across the desert you have to bring food and water, if you travel across green fields it happens automatically. It would be cool if you could set up a camp, but I think it's going to be more like resting while on the overhead map.
David wrote:The level of detail in Lugaru 2 is instantaneous; there is no way to 'catch up' to it. Basically, the entire scene is stored in memory at several levels of detail, and the appropriate one is drawn to the screen. Even if you teleport across the map in one frame, it will be rendered correctly.
Level of detail and data streaming are similar techniques, but not the same thing.
Now, I'm pretty sure this would be impossible if this was all on one map/level. It sounds more like Lugaru 1 where you have multiple levels that you load up, do whatever, and then load up the next map/area when you're done. The only thing different is that you have complete control of where you want to go and when.
And the whole world should not automatically know it's you,
. So..... it's going to be kinda like WoW, sept with lugaru style fighting and characters? I hate Wow 
......

. That's short for alright........
