I agree with this too, but it isnt inherently the fault of the ability for nice terrain, but instead it is due to everyones want for huge outdoor environments which, i say is dumb, unless its used like in real life. In real life, you dont run from town to town, you get in a car, or you get on transportation of some sort, cross it as quickly as possible then work your way through large buildings (last part being less realistic, but you get my point.)
