Hidden Tomb - general thoughts, suggestions and more

I feel like Sandsea is a place that could benefit from puzzle elements and exploration. For instance, maybe for Hidden Tomb, there are traps, hidden staircases, and features that would be parallel to much of the cliché found in movie/novel/historical depictions of desert areas, especially Egypt (and the Pyramids). When I think of just the words "Hidden Tomb", I'm thinking that the place hasn't been uncovered by explorers and that there's some sort of treasure to be found. It would be disappointing, if it was just an ordinary place with little to no significance, and a lot of places in the game feel like that, so this would be an opportunity for AE to show that they can expand more on themes and symbolism.

 

I too feel like this should be an area that the devs get creative with there level design. More intricate levels are just as good as larger levels if done right. I feel like there needs to be a better mix of both here and throughout the game.
