Definitely feels similar to Gothic or Morrowind and genuinely surprised how big the world is. It seems pretty detailed. Not too sure if the river is moving too fast cause it feels like rapids. I like how points of interest can be seen about to go to. That feels like something mentioned in a Gothic post-mortem I guess you saw that too? If not check it out, it had great info on world layout decisions.
Also like how you are given directions. That is classic old CRPG stuff. So long as the directions are good it isn't an issue. Otherwise you will end up like in old WoW. I think it was a barrens quest where the instructions were just terrible and people needed to lookup what to do.
Somebody already mentioned the dialogue on top and options on bottom is a bit off putting.
Nice job. Keep at it.
