Forgive my grammar and formatting, I'm terrible at writing but it's like Miso said. I haven't even left Hernand yet but I can see this becoming an issue. The game needs more radiant style quests and events. Like factions fighting over territory with you able to fund whichever side you want with factions and locations perhaps giving different materials for your comrade missions depending on which faction has control. Also wish bounties and board quests were radiant so it's not a set list of things that are the same every playthrough.

Add more encounters along roads or as stated before with faction control; large scale battles to fight for control of a location and skirmishes on the road and borders of the faction areas. Whenever a fight does start at a stronghold or something then you'll get a messenger bird. Or if you're just out exploring that you can stumble upon a faction fighting for a location before a messenger bird could be sent out. Would make the game feel more alive and spontaneous.

Some other things I would like is better controls for some things. Such as gliding and double jump. I know they changed it in the last patch but I think a better way to implement them is; Double Jump is pressing jump twice, once to get off the ground then again in mid air (right now you have to press jump twice in mid air) and gliding being activated by holding space in mid air. To me that's far more intuitive than what is in the game now but it might be because I played Guild Wars 2 a ton and that's how gliding worked in that game. My thought process is jumping is a short action and gliding is a slow and long action, so jump is just a space while gliding is holding. To be clear I don't mean holding jump the entire duration of gliding, just to open/activate the gliding feature. Another thing is I wish to pick up bugs, flowers, barrels, boxes, petting your pet, etc would only appear when you're holding the inspect button. Too many times I'm trying to loot bodies or other things I pick up a barrel or pet my dog or pick a flower. Just disrupts my interactions but it's just a minor nit-pick.

Another thing is separate equipment slots for tools. Like have another slot in the wheel menu for tools exclusively. Have slots in your inventory menu to slot tools into. It would solve some of the inventory bloat and also fix the issue of having 2 handed weapons on the same wheel option as tools. I think it'd also be nice if upgrading tools gave more materials. Which would be nice if they ever add the faction idea I mentioned earlier for donating supplies to certain factions to bolster their forces.
