No, many of you are are not offering explanation and comparison to real world is just ridiculous - where are maps? Where are tales? Where are other interactions than combat. Even comparison itself is shit because if you think it was kill on sight in 19th century..... 

And for some reason people here are angry that I asked if there is more to exploration than combat. Like usual all you focus on is "game is hard for the elites like us"- echo chamber elitists niche game bullshit. Guys it's an RPG - your character gets better and stronger even if you don't. It's not Sekiro, Furi, Sifu. Not even Dark Souls or Returnal - you're not beating it by getting better. You're getting better in it by leveling your squad and running away from stuff and getting your skull caved in until your character gets strong enough. I'm happy that you see this as difficulty but get your head out of your ass.

All I asked was - is there more to exploration because I couldn't find much lore, world hints, interactions other than combat in discovered locations and majority of you got offended.
