UI, dwarf barrel roll, cat rooms, cracked staff paydirt, etc. Uninspiring copy/paste.
Also, their version of Kelethin is a 1:1 at first glance. Really? Why not have all the trees burnt, dead, or dying, overtaken by silkworms? With the city being rebuilt amid that pervasive threat/stubborn blemish. Then it still could have been a familiar setting but not too samey. And then there would be widespread environmental storytelling that players couldn't ignore.

There are a lot of these missed opportunities that shouldn't need to be pointed out.

Like, I just had biryani for the first time recently and as someone who eats rice dishes regularly, it was a pleasant surprise that took some getting used to. Same base ingredient. Rice. And yet wildly different, practically in its own category. Cooks understand this, why can't devs?
