This feels very relatable – I only started "wandering" when I moved to London in 2013. And I still distinctly remember the locations in Ragnarok, KOTOR II, Project Entropia. More recently Night City. .. Such a great way to frame the emotional impact of game design.

Oh, jelous with London - highly recommend reading some books by Sinclair I mentioned above. And - OMG, KOTOR II and Project Entropia, I totally forgot about them. There are so many game titles that were not build with wandering as a default but have proven to be important and include it as one of the side quests ;)

Also night City is still waiting for me (cyberpunk 2077 might be the most deep game I will engage with so I really try to push it away as further as I can because I know I'm going to sink in and there goes another year;)
