This is the only place that truly unsettled me. It wasn't the hydra, it was the sheer, emptyness. It feels like you don't belong, like you're just an insignificant speck in this place's existence. You're sheparded along one path, where, if you are so inclined, you can meet an eternal destiny, or, you can choose not to. Your friend dies here, hollow, alone, despite having family so close. The shore simply ends, as though this infinite plane wants nothing to do with you, "do your business and get out", it seems to say. The water and tree seem to stretch for eternity, yet you cannot go to them, nor can you examine them closely on first sight, for you are immediately set upon by a beast of legend, who seems enraged by your mear presence. I truly felt small and insignificant when i went there, not as a character, but as a person, and if that's not fucking awesome level design, than I don't know what is. Sorry for the rant, but damn if this place doesn't evoke something powerful.
