The Long Dark is wonderful! However, the feeling of discovery and exploration is really thwarted by the fact that the maps are all the same at every play through in Survival Mode. It would add a lot to the game if the players actually had to explore and discover new regions by themselves, without the help of wiki maps or anything else, but their memory and map making skills (this would give new meaning and importance to the charcoal).
This idea has already been discarded by Creative Director
